IPL 2022 Match 59: Mumbai Indians knock out Chennai Super Kings with a dominating win

 The five time-Champions Mumbai Indians knocked out Chennai Super Kings in a one-sided affair played at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday.

Mumbai Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to field. Due to a power shortage, the DRS was not available for 1.4 overs. It was an ideal start for MI as Daniel Sams got rid of Devon Conway on a ball that missed the leg stumps. Sams then produced the magic Moeen Ali with a good catch by Shokeen. Jasprit Bumrah trapped Robin Uthappa to leave CSK in big trouble at 5 for 3. Sams then got rid of CSK opener Ruturaj Gaikwad putting them under immense pressure. Riley Meredith showed his skills by getting rid Rayudu to leave CSK in dire straits. At the end of the first six overs, CSK looked in massive trouble at 32 for 5. At the end of the first timeout, CSK scored 35 for 5.

Meredith got rid of Shivam Dube cheaply to put more misery on CSK. MS Dhoni showed some promise-keeping the scoreboard ticking with lovely shots. Karthikeya got wickets of Dwayne Bravo and Simarjeet Singh in quick succession to leave CSK struggling big time. Bravo and Dhoni added 39 runs for the 7th wicket. With the wicket of Simarjeet, the second timeout was taken at 80 for 8.

MS Dhoni took most of the strike before trying to take a single Ishan Kishan produced a superb direct hit to run out Mukesh Chaudhary to bowl out CSK for a modest total of 97.

Chasing 98 runs to win, Ishan Kishan went cheaply again with a lovely delivery by Mukesh Chaudhary. Rohit Sharma looked in decent touch putting the bad deliveries away for boundaries. Simarjeet Singh got the wicket of Rohit caught by Dhoni to leave MI in trouble. Mukesh Chaudhary got the wickets of Sams and then debutant Tristan Stubbs off successive deliveries. It could have been another wicket for CSK as the umpire gave out but on review, it was overturned to not out as it hit the pad. At the end of the first six overs, MI scored 36 for 4.

Shokeen and Tilak Verma looked composed keeping the scoreboard ticking making life tough for CSK bowlers. At the end of the first timeout, MI made 55 for 4.

Moeen Ali dismissed Shokeen to break the partnership of 48 runs. Tim David and Tilak Verma completed the job for MI winning it by 5 wickets with 31 balls to spare.

Mumbai Indians 103 for 5 in 14.5 overs (Tilak Verma 34*, Mukesh Chaudhary 3/23) beat Chennai Super Kings 97 in 16 overs ( MS Dhoni 36*, Daniel Sams 3/16, Kumar Kartikeya 2/22) by 5 wickets.

For his figures of 3 for 16 in 4 overs, Daniel Sams was named the man of the match award. With this loss, CSK has been knocked out of the tournament.
