Chennai Super Kings won by 55 runs

Twenty20 match | 2009/10 season
Played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata
16 March 2010 - day/night (20-over match)


Chennai Super Kings innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
M Vijay	b Shukla	33	26	5	0	126.92
8.4 bowled him! Shukla has his own back, bowls full, just short of being a yorker, Vijay looks to go through the off side, gets an inside edge, and the off stump goes for a walk 53/2
ML Hayden	b Sharma	1	8	0	0	12.50
3.1 played on! no time for Mongoose again! looks to cut at the short delivery but it's too close to him, perhaps straightened a touch, and the underside edge hits the stumps, and Ishant is ecstatic 16/1
SK Raina	b Hodge	18	20	2	0	90.00
9.1 and bowled him first ball! plays all around a nice flighted delivery on the leg stump! Was looking for the trademark hit over midwicket, and played down the wrong line 55/3
S Badrinath	not out	43	33	3	1	130.30

MS Dhoni*†	not out	66	33	6	3	200.00

SE Bond	4	0	33	0	8.25

I Sharma	4	0	38	1	9.50
3.1 to Hayden, played on! no time for Mongoose again! looks to cut at the short delivery but it's too close to him, perhaps straightened a touch, and the underside edge hits the stumps, and Ishant is ecstatic 16/1
AD Mathews	3	0	29	0	9.66

LR Shukla	4	0	37	1	9.25
8.4 to Vijay, bowled him! Shukla has his own back, bowls full, just short of being a yorker, Vijay looks to go through the off side, gets an inside edge, and the off stump goes for a walk 53/2
M Kartik	4	0	21	0	5.25	(1w)

BJ Hodge	1	0	4	1	4.00
9.1 to Raina, and bowled him first ball! plays all around a nice flighted delivery on the leg stump! Was looking for the trademark hit over midwicket, and played down the wrong line 55/3


Kolkata Knight Riders innings (target: 165 runs from 20 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
BJ Hodge	c Ashwin b Morkel	0	2	0	0	0.00
0.2 the highest scorer in t20 is gone! short ball, pulled away in the air, and one of the tallest men of the field, R Ashwin, times him jump to a nicety and off goes Hodge 0/1
MK Tiwary	b Gony	8	3	2	0	266.66
1.3 bowled him! Gony has come right back, with an in-coming delivery. Tiwary hits through its line, but the ball moves in and takes the inside edge onto the middle stump. Chennai right on top 8/2
SC Ganguly*	c Morkel b Kemp	11	20	1	0	55.00
8.1 Eden is quiet! length ball, Ganguly looks to go over mid-on, who is up in the circle, but the ball doesn't quite come on, and he ends up dragging it to deep midwicket, where Morkel takes a smart catch 55/5
WP Saha†	b Balaji	22	13	5	0	169.23
4.6 bye bye middle stump! Balaji finishes off what Gony started! Heaves at one again, and plays around a straight delivery 34/3
OA Shah	c †Dhoni b Balaji	5	4	1	0	125.00
6.2 big big wicket! Shah was looking in prime touch. Superb ball, back of a length, lands on the seam, holds its line, and takes the hanging bat's edge, neatly taken by Dhoni too, to his right 46/4
AD Mathews	lbw b Kemp	6	13	0	0	46.15
10.2 it's all over for Kolkata - barring a miracle. Mathews looks for the scoop, misses, and is this time hit inside the line. Dead duck if ever there was one 69/6
LR Shukla	c Morkel b Muralitharan	19	16	3	0	118.75
13.2 sweeps right down the throat of Albie Morkel at deep backward square leg, and Chennai two good balls away from a win here 82/8
RS Gavaskar	c Vijay b Kemp	2	8	0	0	25.00
12.3 and one more gone! Gavaskar pulls, not that shot perhaps, and the top edge is a pretty healthy one that makes it to the fine leg boundary, where Vijay takes it safely 79/7
SE Bond	b Ashwin	1	2	0	0	50.00
14.1 Bond takes a big swipe down the ground, misses by a long away, and the off stump is struck 84/9
M Kartik	run out (Badrinath)	21	20	2	0	105.00
19.2 Balaji to Sharma, and how it finishes! Karthik is strolling through for a single to point, and Badri hits the only visible stump direct. Karthik knew he wouldn't have made it 109/10
I Sharma	not out	6	15	0	0	40.00

Extras	(lb 5, w 3)	8

Total	(all out; 19.2 overs)	109	(5.63 runs per over)
