After four defeats in four attempts in 2019, Chennai Super Kings managed to start their 2020 season by turning the tables on their fiercest adversaries and defending champion Mumbai Indians.
Hardworking fifties from Ambati Rayudu and Faf du Plessis, and some sloppy fielding from MI, helped CSK overcome MI’s just about par total of 162/9 with four balls to spare.
Mumbai Indians 162/9 in 20 overs (Saurabh Tiwary 42; Lungi Ngidi 3-38, Deepak Chahar 2-32) beat Chennai Super Kings 166/5 in 19.2 overs (Ambati Rayudu 71, Faf du Plessis 58*; James Pattinson 1-27) by 5 wickets
