Talking about the match, CSK skipper Ravindra Jadeja won the toss and he asked MI to bat first. The five-time champs suffered a batting collapse of sorts as they lost openers Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma on ducks in the first over itself, and kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Young Tilak Varma remained unbeaten at 51 after 43 balls, and a late flurry from Jaydev Unadkat (19 off 9 balls) helped Mumbai rack up a total of 155/7 after 20 overs.
In reply, Chennai Super Kings also lost wickets at regular intervals but their batters were able to string together some partnerships to keep their side in the game. A late flurry from MS Dhoni, who was ably supported by Dwaine Pretorius (22 off 14) enabled CSK to register a 3-wicket win on the ball.
