Mumbai Indians won the match by 5 wickets, broke CSK's hopes

Mumbai Indians defeated Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets in the match played on Thursday in IPL 2022. Batting first after losing the toss, CSK were all out for 97 runs in 16 overs. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored the highest unbeaten 36 runs. Daniel Sams took 3 wickets. In reply, Mumbai, after faltering in the beginning, finally achieved the target in 14.5 overs for the loss of 5 wickets.

With this result, defending champions CSK are out of the play-off race. Now even if Chennai wins the last two matches, it will have only 12 points. Four teams have already scored 14 or more points. Mumbai's team is already out of the play-off spree. This is the second lowest score of CSK in the history of IPL. Earlier in 2013, the team was bundled out for just 79 runs against Mumbai itself.

Chennai Express derailed from the very first over

In the very first over of the match, Daniel Sams got Devon Conway out LBW. Replays showed that the ball could have missed the leg stump. However, DRS was not available due to power cut. Because of this, Conway had to return to the pavilion. Sams then dismissed Moeen Ali (0) on the fourth ball of the over.

On the fourth ball of the second over, Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Robin Uthappa LBW. DRS was not available even at this time. However, Uthappa looked out. After some time DRS became available. Sams got Gaikwad caught by wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan on the first ball of his third over.

Gaikwad could only score 7 runs. Riley Meredith took the wicket of Ambati Rayudu on the fourth ball of the sixth over. Meredith took her second wicket in the form of Shivam Dubey. Dwayne Bravo became the victim of Kumar Karthikeya after scoring 12 runs. Karthikeya also took the wicket of Simarjeet in his name.

Mumbai has kept out-of-form all-rounder Kieron Pollard out of the playing-11. Today is also Pollard's birthday. Murugan Ashwin is also not playing in this match. In his place, South Africa's Tristan Stubbs and Hrithik Shoke are playing. There has been no change in Chennai's playing-11.
