Match 30: CSK vs MI
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) by 20 runs at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai. CSK kicked off a terrible start to their innings after skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat first earlier. They rebounded due to opener Ruturaj Gaikwad’s unbeaten innings of 88, which helped them to 156/6.
The 81-run partnership between Gaikwad and Jadeja, however, was ended when Jasprit Bumrah, who was playing his 100th IPL game, sent Jadeja to the dugout. After the dismissal of Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo took the charge and joined Gaikwad, and the two changed gears in their style. In the last over, the pair went after Boult, smashing 24 runs, with Bravo hitting two sixes and Gaikwad hitting a six and a four apiece.
However, Bravo was dismissed in the last over after an eight-ball 23-run cameo, Gaikwad remained in the game till the finish, smashing a four and a six in the 20th over to help CSK reach 156/6.
MI scored 136/8 in 20 overs, with Saurabh Tiwary leading the charge with 50 not out. Deepak Chahar struck twice in the Powerplay overs to end with 2/19, while Dwayne Bravo took 3/25. This marks CSK’s sixth victory of the season, tying them with Delhi Capitals for the most points with 12 each. Super Kings, on the other hand, will seize the lead owing to a higher net run rate.
