Chennai Superkings vs Mumbai Indians (6th April 2010)

Result: Chennai Super Kings won by 24 runs

Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat first and scored 165/4 in 20 overs with contributions from each batsman. Mumbai Indians started the run chase well but Tendulkar retired hurt due to extreme heat and cramp. Middle order failed to perform and some brilliant fielding restricted them in 141 runs.

Raina was the Man of the Match for his cameo, Vijay got the Kamaal catch of the match award and
Bhajji got the maximum sixes award.
