Indian Premier League - 37th match

Chennai Super Kings v Rajasthan Royals

Chennai Super Kings won by 7 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)

Twenty20 match | 2009 season
Played at De Beers Diamond Oval, Kimberley (neutral venue)
9 May 2009 - day/night (20-over match)


Rajasthan Royals innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
GC Smith	st †Dhoni b Muralitharan	30	33	2	0	90.90
12.2 stumped, didn't even appeal, Smith walked, spun away just as he tried to connect a slog-sweep, missed, and Dhoni dislodged the bails pretty quickly, Smith was outside the crease well after the stumps were disturbed 75/3
NV Ojha†	b Morkel	0	2	0	0	0.00
0.3 timber, bowled at around 137 kmph, bowled on a length on middle and off, moved away a touch, Ojha had made room, too much in hindsight and failed to make contact as it zipped through to crash into offstump. 1/1
SA Asnodkar	lbw b Muralitharan	26	25	3	1	104.00
8.5 swung across the line and was trapped in front, came round the wicket, was the overspinner, landed fullish on middle and leg, tried to sweep it square, was rapped on the pads and Dharmasena had no doubt 54/2
RA Jadeja	c Raina b Balaji	27	19	3	1	142.10
14.1 slower one bowled full outside off, landed full, he picked it well, made room to slice it to Raina at point, was dying on him but he dived forward to cup that inches from the ground, well done 92/4
YK Pathan	c Oram b Jakati	7	11	0	1	63.63
15.5 sucked him in, flighted it on the off, landed full, went for the slog-sweep well in front of square, the intended area was long-on and he got the direction right but way more elevation than he would have wanted, Oram judged it well and for a moment it seemed he would go over the boundary but retained his balance to take it inches inside the ropes 100/5
LA Carseldine	run out (Balaji)	9	8	1	0	112.50
16.4 Raina to Raut, run out, Balaji, you beauty, dropped it short of him at cover and called for a single, Carseldine at the non-striker's end had backed up too far by the time Raut sent him back, Balaji waited, took aim and threw down the stumps to find him miles short 104/6
AS Raut	st †Dhoni b Jakati	7	5	0	1	140.00
17.2 stumped, drew him out of the crease with the flight, spun away as he tried to smack that inside-out over cover, missed and Dhoni had no difficulty clipping the bails, the batsman didn't even bother making it back 111/7
SK Warne*	not out	21	11	2	1	190.90

SM Harwood	not out	6	7	0	0	85.71

Extras	(lb 5, w 1, nb 1)	7
