Mumbai :

157 - 6 after 20 overs

Pollard Duck , Simmons 38

#2
29 - 1

4.3
Kumar to McCullum, OUT, Given! McCullum is hit on the front pad as he tries to pull. That definitely looked like it was going down the leg side. You could see both middle and off stump on the replay, from straight-on.

56 - 2

7.6  Pollard to Raina, 1 wide, OUT, he's gone, is he?

Fires it down the leg side as he sees Raina stepping down the pitch.

#4
104 - 2 after 14 overs

Dwayne smith 44*

#5
119 - 3

15.3
Kumar to Smith, OUT, same shot, different result. Doesn't get as much behind it this time,

and it drops to Simmons, who juggles it and takes it on the third attempt.

Smith c Simmons b Kumar 57

15.2
Kumar to Smith, SIX, Length ball, and Smith moves back and across to allow the big swing

across the line. Harbhajan at deep midwicket leaps high in the air, but can't get more than

a fingertip on it as it swings away from him.



#6
129 - 4

16.4
Malinga to du Plessis, OUT, what a ball! slower ball, right up in the blockhole. It hits the base of the stumps, in fact, after dipping under Faf's flailing bat. It seemed to hang in the air before dipping at the last moment.

F du Plessis  b Malinga 31

#7
Chennai win by 4 wickets

19.3
Pollard to Dhoni, FOUR, short, wide, slapped away in typical Dhoni fashion. The off-side fielders had come into the circle with just two needed, and this went just wide of Harbhajan at extra cover. Rohit Sharma kicks out in frustration.

19.2
Pollard to Dhoni, SIX, slower ball, length ball, outside off. Dhoni swings hard across the line, and it goes flat but still clears deep midwicket comfortably.

That's why Dhoni is described as the best finisher.I loved his quickfire innings yesterday.Being a chennai super kings lunatic,i couldn't control my happiness yesterday.The way we breached their fortress yesterday..woaahh..literally "whistle podu" moment for us all.
P.S : Loved Smith's antics yesterday,when he punched through the air,signalling intent against the defending champions yesterday.
True humdinger of a match..!!!
