Match 37 IPL: CSK Vs MI – Pollard restricts Chennai to 165
The Mumbai Indians restricted the Chennai Super Kings to 165-4 in their 20 overs at the M Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday.
Kieron Pollard dented the Super Kings by dismissing MS Dhoni (31) and Matthew Hayden (35) off consecutive balls in the 14th over just when the home side were looking to accelerate. Hayden struggled in his innings with the mongoose failing to get going albeit two straight hits off Dwayne Bravo.
Mumbai kept a tight lid on the scoring rate right from the onset as Chennai's in-form players could not manage too many big hits. Murali Vijay (14), who smashed a blistering hundred in Chennai's previous game on the same ground against the Rajasthan Royals, was the first wicket to fall. Suresh Raina (23) hit a huge six before the same shot led to his downfall.
In the end, S Badrinath, who made an unbeaten 30 off just 22 balls along with Mike Hussey (14 not out) took them to a decent total.
