Chennai Super Kings Innings

Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat first.

M Hayden scored 89 runs in 58 balls ( 4*8 , 6*6). Dhoni also scored a half century (56 runs 27 balls 4*7, 6*2) and guided Chennai Super Kings to a healthy score of 185/3 in 18 overs as match was reduced due to rain.

Kings XI Punjab Innings
Chasing a mammoth target, Kings XI Punjab’s batsmen played really well and scored runs freely. At one moment it looked they would be able to win the match. Katich, Yuvraj and Jayawardene played very useful innings but in the end they could manage only 174/3 in 18 overs and it was via D/L Chennai Super Kings were declared the winners.
FOW:S Sohal (2-1, 0.2), K Goel (53-2, 6.2), S Katich (84-3, 9.1)

Man of the match: M Hayden
