Chennai Super Kings scored 218/4 runs their 20 overs. Ambati Rayudu played stunning innings. MI had taken 3 wickets in the space of 7 balls but Rayudu came out with an I-don’t-care-about-it attitude. Took Bumrah apart too with his range of hits and got CSK to an above par total score-wise. At one stage it looked like CSK may struggle to get to 185, but Rayudu stole the show and Bumrah went for 56 runs, his costliest IPL outing. MI chose to bowl and Boult got them off to a good start by getting Ruturaj in the first over. Bowled a couple of good balls to Moeen first up, but Faf and Moeen then took on the bowlers in style to ensure a good powerplay. Moeen’s timing was so good to watch and he wasn’t afraid to hit the ball in the air. He added 108 runs with Faf before Bumrah got him. Pollard dented CSK by removing Faf and Raina off successive balls, but MI’s “tactical” changes to bring in Neesham and Kulkarni didn’t work as both went over 12 runs per over. Rayudu’s stellar hitting meant Jadeja could get away with his struggle a run-a-ball 22. Ambati Rayudu scored 72* of 27 balls and Moeen Ali scored 58 of 36 balls. For MI Kieron Pollard pick 2 wickets for 12 runs in his 2 overs.
Innings Break!
Half-centuries from Moeen Ali (58), @faf1307 (50) & @RayuduAmbati (72*) propel #CSK to a huge total of 218/4 on the board.#MumbaiIndians chase coming up shortly. Stay tuned!

Mumbai Indians chased down the target by scoring the winning run in last ball and 219/6 in their 20 overs and won the game by 4 wickets. The defending champions got off to a brisk start, thanks to their openers. But, they lost three wickets in three overs and were reduced to 81/3 in the tenth over. Clearly, CSK were the favorites at that stage, but their nemesis Pollard had other ideas. Mind you, the West Indies all-rounder did his bit with the ball too by applying the brakes in the middle overs of the first innings by picking back-to-back wickets. Kieron Pollard scored 87* of 34 balls and Quinton de Kock scored 38 of 28 balls. For CSK Sam Curran picks 3 wickets for 34 runs in 4 overs quota.
WHAT. A. WIN for the @mipaltan 🔥🔥
Some serious hitting from @KieronPollard55 ( 87* off 34) as #MumbaiIndians win by 4 wickets.
