CSK win
With KXIP's defeat, Rajasthan Royals have made it to the qualifies along with SRH, CSK and KKR. Here's what Dhoni has to say about the win. "If you see their bowling line-up, it was definitely swinging a bit more so for Ankit. From a captain's perspective, you want to take as many wickets upfront. So sending in Bhajji and Chahar causes chaos. The bowlers lose their lines and lengths, instead of sticking to the plan. Plus Bhajji and Chahar could come in handy during the playoffs. Owners have been brilliant. We have a set of people who are close to the players. They have a history of understanding the game. Looking at ten years, it has been very good for us. We like to do the process right because that's what gives you the result. When the format is like this, just a couple of big hits or a run-out can change things. Everyone wants to win. They've done well to go into the knockout stages."
That's all from our side for this match.
Suresh Raina hit a fine fifty helping Chennai Super Kings beat Kings XI Punjab by 5 wickets in their Indian Premier League clash on Sunday. With the defeat, Punjab's hopes of qualifying for a playoff berth was dashed. Chasing 154, Chennai didn't get the start they've wanted as Ambati Rayudu departed for 3 runs in the second over off Mohit Sharma's delivery. Faf du Plessis (14) didn't get many runs while Sam Billings (0) and Harbhajan Singh (19) also faltered in the run chase. However, it was Raina (61*) and Deepak Chahar who controlled the Chennai innings in the middle overs. Chahar was dismissed by KXIP captain R Ashwin for 39 runs. Dhoni (16*) remained unbeaten in the end and supported Raina ensuring Chennai crossed the finishing line. Ankit Rajpoot (2/19) was again at his bowling best for Punjab. (SCORECARD)
Earlier, Lungi Ngidi's fiery bowling spell (4/10) helped Chennai bowl out Punjab for 154 runs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday. Put into bat by Chennai, Punjab got off to a worst possible start after losing Lokesh Rahul (7), Chris Gayle (0) and Aaron Finch (4) within the first four overs. Manoj Tiwary (35) played a key knock in the middle with help of David Miller (24) to restore some faith for Punjab after losing early wickets. Ngidi took the crucial wickets of KL Rahul and Gayle to halt the momentum of Punjab. Karun Nair (54) was the lone ranger for Punjab as he hit some good looking shots helping Punjab reach a competitive total. He hit a 26-ball 56 runs laced with 5 sixes and 3 boundaries. However, Ngidi hogged the limelight with his stupendous bowling display. Shardul Thakur and Dwayne Bravo took two wickets each.
