Live Cricket Score - RR vs CSK, Match 4, IPL 2020

RR win by 16 runs

Three sixes for MS Dhoni in that final over reduces the margin of defeat and takes the match six count to 33. It's the joint-highest in an IPL game, tied with that RCB-CSK game in Chinnaswamy in 2018.

The margin will also put in perspective that final over by Ngidi. He gave away 30 after CSK appeared to have made a comeback through the middle. Take nothing away from Sanju Samson and Rahul Tewatia. Those were the two defining performances from the day!

Back to the drawing board for CSK. Great start for RR!

What they said:

Dhoni: With 217 on the board, we needed a very good start which was not the case. Steve and Samson batted very well. Need to give credit to their bowlers. Once you've seen the first innings, you know the length to bowl. Their spinners did well to bowl away from the batsman. Our spinners made the error to bowl too full. If we would've maybe restricted them to 200, it would've been a good game. I haven't batted for a long time. 14-day quarantine doesn't help (why he isn't batting higher). Also wanted to try different things, give opportunities to Sam. Have the opportunity to try different things. If it doesn't work, you can always go back to your strengths.

Smith: I think the last surge from Jofra was an incredible bit of hitting. Sanju Samson, looked like everything he hit went for six. Sanju was incredible, and all I had to do was give him the strike. This should give him a lot of confidence. Jos is a quality player and we'll see what happens when he comes back. Hard to take the opening slot away from someone like him. It was important for the bowlers to avoid straight hits, and it was important to make him hit the back of a length. The leg-spinners were very good with their lengths - good on them. Shreyas Gopal does what he does pretty well.

29-ball half-century for Du Plessis

Only CSK batsman looking to keep this game interesting. Back to back 50s for the South African. Has taken 21 off Unadkat's over.

Dhoni is on 6 off 9 at the other end.

Next 12 balls: 44 runs, 1 X 4s, 6 X 6s
