In the first four overs, CSK’s score was 15/1 and no boundaries were hit. Yash Dayal was brought in to bowl the fifth over and he conceded 15 runs and CSK was back on track with 30 runs in five overs.

Rashid Khan came to bowl the sixth over – the final over of the powerplay – and on the first three balls only, he gave away just three runs. It looked like Rashid will close the powerplay quietly but Moeen Ali had other plans.

The fourth ball was dropped short by Rashid and Moeen Ali was quick to react and pulled it over square leg for a six. It was close to the fielder set and Rashid had a bit of a smile on his face that he almost got Moeen out. But on the next ball, it was a far better connection as Moeen slog-swept Rashid Khan over mid-wicket and the ball went far away into the stands. 17 runs came in that Rashid Khan;s over.
