Chennai Super Kings had a rough start as they managed to score only 30 runs in the powerplay and lost 2 early wickets. Ambati Rayudu stepped up and showed intent to help the side chase the total with Faf du Plessis taking guard on the other end. The CEAT strategic timeout was signalled by the empire after the eighth over. The two batsmen built a partnership of more than 50 runs and brought their side back in the game.

The fielding department of MI will not be very happy with the extra runs they provided CSK with. The dew factor has started doing its job and the spinners are happy with the moist ball. Ambati Rayudu reached the half-century with a boundary mark after just playing 33 balls. CSK stand at 116 for two wickets at the end of the 15th over.
