CSK vs MI, Highlights and Match Recap, IPL 2019, Full Cricket Score: Rohit, Malinga guide Mumbai to 46-run win

Krunal Pandya, on his bowling

I was just trying to bowl in the right areas. When you know that the wicket is helping, you just need to bowl the right areas. I tried bowling back of the length, in the 5-metre patch.

Suresh Raina, CSK skipper: 

I think we didn’t bat well, kept losing wickets. We need to take more responsibility as a batting unit. We need to plan which bowler to attack and play accordingly. We have lost a lot of wickets in the batting powerplay. We have 2 more games to go, would like to win those. We need to regroup. We have power hitters and experienced players, we just need to regroup and see what we can do.

MI beat CSK by 46 runs!

OUT! Santner c Pollard b Malinga 22(20) 

Santner went downtown again but this shot was weak and has been taken by Pollard in the deep. CSK lose. MI win and move to second spot in points table.

WICKET! BHAJJI FALLS!

Harbhajan c Hardik Pandya b Malinga 1(3)

It was in the slot but the change of pace did the job. Bhajji didn’t get enough behind his shot down the ground as it was taken in deep at long-on.

After 17 overs,Chennai Super Kings 103/8 ( Mitchell Santner 16 , Harbhajan Singh 1)

MI just two wickets away from a win! Bumrah strikes this time. Fires in a short ball and the mistimed pull shot from Chahar is taken excellently by Krunal after he ran and put in a dive. 53 needed in 3 overs.

Most wickets against a team in IPL:

29 – Umesh Yadav v KXIP
28 – Dwayne Bravo v MI
28 – Lasith Malinga v CSK*

WICKET! ANOTHER ONE DOWN!

Chahar c Krunal Pandya b Bumrah 0(2)

Bumrah fires in a short delivery to surprise Chahar as the pull shot is taken brilliantly by Krunal who puts in a dive at mid-wicket after covering some good distance.

After 16 overs,Chennai Super Kings 99/7 ( Mitchell Santner 14 , )

Santner shows intent from CSK’s side. Pulls the slower short ball from Malinga over cow corner for a six. His check straight shot goes just over Malinga for a single. Malinga makes a comeback with a wicket on last ball. Removes Bravo as the leading edge off his bat is taken by the bowler. Bravo outfoxed by pace of the pitch as he tried to play a flick. 57 in four overs needed.

OUT! MALINGA REMOVES BRAVO!

 Dwayne Bravo c and b Malinga 20(17)

Slowness of the deck outfoxes the batsman. Bravo went with cross-bat shot but was beaten by the slower delivery as the leading edge flew into the hands of bowler Malinga.

15-overs comparison:

MI : 105/3
CSK : 88/6

After 14 overs,Chennai Super Kings 80/6 ( Dwayne Bravo 11 , Mitchell Santner 4)

Hardik is punished unfairly by the umpire. A legitimate delivery was called no-ball. Bravo made full use of the opportunity by cutting the back of length ball over short third man for a boundary. Four singles and a wide. 10 off the over. 76 in 36 needed.

After 13 overs,Chennai Super Kings 70/6 ( Dwayne Bravo 5 , Mitchell Santner 2)

It has become a game of singles at the moment. CSK are in need of some inspiration. Just four off this over. CSK need 86 runs in 42 balls

After 12 overs,Chennai Super Kings 66/6 ( Dwayne Bravo 3 , Mitchell Santner 0)

Another blow to CSK! Set batsman Vijay departs! His lazy cut shot is taken excellently by Suryakumar with a dive at point. Catch was referred upstairs but soft signal was out. Decision not overturned and Vijay has to leave. Santner comes out to bat. 90 in 8 overs needed.

OUT! WHAT A CATCH!

 Vijay c Suryakumar Yadav b Bumrah 38(35)

Suryakumar takes a great diving catch at point to remove Vijay! He went to cut the short ball and it was taken excellently. Catch was referred to third umpire but soft signal was out. Umpires could not prove otherwise and Vijay has to depart.

First 10 overs today for MI bowlers so far:

Good over. Just four off it. Bravo has joined Vijay. Stumping appeal against Vijay but he never left the crease. 92 in 9 overs needed.

After 10 overs,Chennai Super Kings 60/5 ( Murali Vijay 36 , )

Debutant, left-arm spinner, Anukul Roy comes into attack. Starts off with couple of wides. Creates a half chance as the full toss is hit straight to him by Shorey but he failed to grab it. Few singles, a wide and then his first wicket. Got Shorey caught in deep as he mistimed the shot down the ground. 96 in 60 needed.

OUT! CSK LOSE SHOREY!

Shorey c Rahul Chahar b Anukul Roy 5(8)

CSK lose fifth wicket! Runs weren’t flowing and Shorey decided to step out for a swing over long-on but poor timing costed him as catch is taken in deep.

After 9 overs,Chennai Super Kings 53/4 ( Murali Vijay 34 , Dhruv Shorey 3)

An over of some funny runs! Three single off first three balls. Dot ball. Shorey plays a shot to backward point and then gives up midway through his run but luckily the throw was much worse. Double on last ball which also had a run out appeal against Vijay at striker’s end but he made inside in time. Six off the over. 103 needed in 11.

After 8 overs,Chennai Super Kings 47/4 ( Murali Vijay 30 , Dhruv Shorey 1)

BOLWED! JADHAV GONE!

Kedar Jadhav b Krunal Pandya 6(11)

Another arm ball, another wicket! Jadhav went for an inside-out shot but it was not short enough as he chopped in onto his stumps. Second wicket for Krunal.
