Partnership

Hayden and Raina, 78 runs in 6.3 overs
In a big chase of 186, Matthew Hayden had begun in an explosive manner when Suresh Raina, the stand-in captain, came to join him. They needed to keep the turn-rate up, which had to come from Hayden, but they also needed solidarity, which Raina provided. Hayden responded to S Badrinath's wicket by hitting three sixes in the next over, and Chennai were up and running again. Raina kept handing the strike over. In the 6.3 overs, Hayden scored 52, and Raina - who faced 18 deliveries in the stand - scored 21. By the time the partnership ended, Chennai were left needing just 44 off 39
