CSK vs MI, IPL 2023 Highlights: CSK beat MI by 6 wickets

Right then, that is it from the first game of a doubleheader Saturday and it is Chennai who break their three-game winless streak and storm to 2nd place on the points table. The second game of the day between Delhi and Bangalore is about to get underway and you can simply switch tabs and catch our coverage of that game. Cheers!

Matheesha Pathirana is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant spell of bowling.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of Mumbai says that they didn't bat well enough and put on a total for the bowlers to defend and adds that games like this one can happen and it was just an off day with the bat. On the batting order, he says that they lost Tilak Varma and they thought they needed Indian batters in the middle overs to counter the spinners but they lost 3 wickets in the Powerplay. Mentions that Piyush Chawla has been bowling really well and the other bowlers need to rally around him and they can take a lot of learning from this game. Says that this year there is not much of a home advantage and it is all about putting your best foot forward and ends by saying that the next two games are pretty big for them.

Earlier in the game, MS Dhoni won the toss and put Mumbai into bat first on the wicket that looked good for a score of around 170-180 runs. Mumbai tweaked their opening pair as Cameron Green came in place of Rohit Sharma and that back-fired. Their top three fell inside the Powerplay and there was a lot of work to do for the middle order against an in-form spin attack in the middle overs. Young Nehal Wadhera played a solid knock and even got to his fifty and apart from Suryakumar Yadav no one else gave him much support. For Chennai, their front-line pacers, Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande picked up wickets at the start and Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly in the middle phase. This was all backed up by Matheesha Pathirana who picked up three wickets in the latter stages and didn't even concede a boundary. With just 140 runs needed to win, Chennai paced their chase perfectly and got the job done with 14 balls to spare.

Mumbai will be pretty disappointed with that performance as they didn't bat well in the Powerplay and the pacers were off the mark as well. With just 139 runs on the board, the likes of Cameron Green and Arshad Khan got smashed for runs in the first two overs of the game and that put them on the back foot completely. Piyush Chawla bowled brilliantly yet again and picked up a couple of wickets as well with the debutant, Raghav Goyal holding his own as well. In the end, they just didn't have enough runs on the board and didn't have the wicket-taking ability with the quicks to cause any damage.

Chennai have breezed through the chase but this victory was really set up by their bowlers as they restricted Mumbai to a below-par total. Like most of this season, the opening pair of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway got Chennai off to a quick start as they added on 46 runs for the first wicket. It was then Ajinkya Rahane who picked up a few boundaries and Chennai were cruising through the chase. Ambati Rayudu though failed to make much of an impact once again but Shivam Dube did get those big hits away to ensure that there wasn't a hiccup toward the end.

A very, very comfortable victory for Chennai against a side that has been their nemesis on their home ground and for the first time since 2010, Chennai beat Mumbai at the MA Chidambaram stadium.

Strategic break! Just as Chennai lose their second wicket, the umpires call for a breather. This has been a fast start with the bat from the home side and with just 59 runs needed off 66 balls, this should be an easy victory for Chennai. Mumbai have a lot of work to do as their opponent has just lost a couple of wickets and apart from Piyush Chawla none of the other bowlers look like causing any trouble for the batters. With that said, Ambati Rayudu walks out to bat now.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, Mumbai have posted a below-par total and will need every bit of their bowling resources to defend this one. Chennai with the kind of batting that they have will be pretty confident to gun this down and they know that they just need to bat sensibly and the two points will be theirs. Let's see how the chase unfolds.

Tushar Deshpande, the new Purple Cap holder for now is up for a quick chat. He says the surface looked good initially but as the day went on it became better for the bowlers. Adds that it is all about bowling good lines and lengths and not overthinking. Reckons that they simply need to bat well and jokingly ends by saying that he shouldn't be talking much about batting anyways.

Chennai, on the other hand, should be pretty happy with their bowling effort. Tushar Deshpande got rid of Green in his first over, and then Deepak Chahar removed Rohit and Kishan in the same over. They continued to build pressure on the batters and did not give much away. It was Ravindra Jadeja once again who got the crucial wicket of SKY. Wadhera did trouble them a bit, but it was Matheesha Pathirana who ran through Mumbai's lower middle order and ended up with three wickets.

Mumbai got off to the worst possible start, losing three wickets inside the first three overs. They promoted Cameron Green to open but that did not work out and Rohit Sharma at number 3 also could not trouble the scorers nor did Ishan Kishan make much impact. Then Mumbai promoted young Nehal Wadhera up the order and he grabbed this opportunity with both hands. Firstly he built up a crucial partnership of 55 runs with SKY to steady their innings before the latter got dismissed. However, that did not affect Wadhera as he continued to rack up the runs and registered his maiden Indian T20 League fifty. The stand between him and Tristan Stubbs of 54 runs took them to a respectable total.

What a last over from Matheesha Pathirana! He only conceded five runs and picked up two wickets to restrict Mumbai to 139. This was the story of this innings as Chennai were able to pick up the wickets and except for an excellent knock from Nehal Wadhera, no other batter looked comfortable. The home side will be the happier going into the break.

19.6: Matheesha Pathirana to Piyush Chawla, Piyush Chawla gets away and Mumbai will pick up a couple of runs to end the innings. This is full and outside off, Chawla goes after it and lifts it over the point region. Moeen Ali from inside the ring goes after it but cannot reach it. They pick up a couple of runs. Mumbai finish with 139/8 on the board!

19.5: Matheesha Pathirana to Piyush Chawla, Excellent bowling! Nails the yorker again around off and bowls this a bit slower as well. Piyush Chawla tries to back away and squeeze it out but misses.

Piyush Chawla is the next man in.

19.4: Matheesha Pathirana to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! TAKEN! Ravindra Jadeja hangs on to a difficult chance and Matheesha Pathirana picks up his third wicket of the innings, a brilliant spell from him yet again. This is full and wide, slinging away, Tristan Stubbs tries to get under it and lift it over the cover fence but mistimes it completely. The ball goes high and just over the cover region. Jadeja comes racing in from the point region and takes it with both hands.

19.3: Matheesha Pathirana to Jofra Archer, Good stop! Full and at the stumps, Jofra Archer drives it straight back and the bowler sticks out his foot to make the stop. The batters scamper across for a single.

19.2: Matheesha Pathirana to Jofra Archer, Full again at 150 clicks, Jofra Archer looks to drive at it but gets an inside edge down to fine leg. They race back for the second as well.

Jofra Archer walks out to bat now.

19.1: Matheesha Pathirana to Arshad Khan, OUT! CAUGHT! Ruturaj Gaikwad manages to hold on and Arshad Khan has to walk back. Matheesha Pathirana bowls this one full and wide and gets it in the blockhole. Khan hangs deep in his crease and tries to drive it over the cover region. Khan ends up slicing it wide of the man at sweeper where Gaikwad moves to his left and hangs on to the catch.

Who will bowl the last over? It will be Matheesha Pathirana (3-0-10-1).

18.6: Tushar Deshpande to Tristan Stubbs, Full again and at the stumps, Tristan Stubbs drills this one to the right of the man at long off. Ruturaj Gaikwad there speeds to his right and manages to cut off the boundary. Two taken.

18.5: Tushar Deshpande to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Tristan Stubbs almost cleans up Arshad Khan at the other end! Full and straight, Stubbs stays back and thumps it straight back and the ball rockets into the fence.

18.4: Tushar Deshpande to Arshad Khan, Put down! Shivam Dube spills an easy chance here. Slower one, back of a length and outside off. Arshad Khan backs away and thumps it flat toward long off. Dube comes in a bit but doesn't quite get to it and ends up spilling it. They get a single.

18.3: Tushar Deshpande to Tim David, OUT! CAUGHT! Tim David fails to make an impact and Mumbai struggling to get to 150 here. Tushar Deshpande keeps the length full but brings the ball closer to the off pole and bowls it at over 140 clicks as well. David shuffles slightly across the stumps and looks to whack it right back over the bowler's head. David mistimes it high and toward long off where Ruturaj Gaikwad comes in and takes a safe catch.

Arshad Khan comes out to the middle now.
