Today in the 42nd match of Pepsi IPL 2013, Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat first. Top scorer for Chennai Michael Hussey failed in this match and was bowled by Richardson when the team score was just 6. Wriddhiman Saha also fell cheaply leaving Chennai struggling at 28/2 in 5.4 overs. Suresh Raina and Subramaniam Badrinath then steadied the innings, Suresh Raina smashed 63 off 50 balls which included 5 fours and 1 six. A cameo of 45 in 16 balls (4×4,3×6) by MS Dhoni helped Chennai post a total of 164/3 in 20 overs.

Chasing 165 to win, man in form for Pune, Aaron Finch and Robin Uthappa opened the innings. The duo looked settled when suddenly the break through came for CSK as A Finch got out. This wicket triggered the fall of wickets as from 26/1 in 2.5 overs, Pune slipped to 29/3 in 3.2 overs. Yuvraj Singh and Steven Smith then had the responsibility to lead Pune recovery but Yuvraj Singh failed as he got out after scoring just 5. Steven Smith was the lone warrior as he top scored with 35 off 39 balls. Two run outs added to the list of misery for Pune as they were reduced to 61/6 in 9.1 overs. Finally Kane Richardson and Bhuvneshwar Kumar showed some guts but that proved to be too little too late as Pune could manage to score 127/9 in 20 overs and thus lost the match by 37 runs.
