A fine finish for Chennai and Michael Hussey is elated. 33-run win for Chennai, an emphatic start to the tournament. Punjab did their bit early on but James Hopes' dismissal started a decline. Sangakkara fought hard but eventually it was Hussey's sensational innings that won the day.

Thanks for joining us. Don't go away anywhere because the Rajasthan Royals have decided to bat first in their clash against the Delhi Daredevils. Switch screens and follow that game live.

From me Siddhartha Vaidyanathan, good night and good luck.

Murali to Pathan, no run

pushed back to the bowler, fine over at this point, Murali is quite a champion

17.5
1b
Murali to Katich, 1 bye

that's a mis-stumping from Dhoni, down the ground and beaten in the flight, that should have been a regulation stumping, but Dhoni misses that, he won't mind it too much given the match situation

Irfan Pathan comes in

17.4
W
Murali to Sangakkara, OUT

he's holed out, desperate times look for desperate measures, Sangakkara down the ground and tries to loft him over long-on but can only find the fielder, Murali gets Sanga (now that's a rare entry in the scorebook). This match is headed in only one direction. Down south towards the Bay of Bengal.
