CSK managed to stifle MI in the middle overs before Kieron Pollard's 17-ball 41 helped MI post 187 for 6.

In chase of 188, CSK were off to a bad start losing Dwayne Smith to Laisth Malinga owing to a horrible decision by the umpire in the first over, followed by the wicket of Michael Hussey for 16 in the sixth over.

Faf Du Plessis (45) and Suresh Raina (25) steadied the CSK innings with a 40-run stand for the third wicket.
