Match 12: CSK vs RR
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) continued their winning streak by defeating the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 45 runs at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Monday. This defeat puts Rajasthan at the seventh position in the IPL points table followed only by the Punjab Kings.
The Rajasthan Royals won the toss and put CSK to ball on what seemed to be a turning track. However, Faf du Plessis and Moeen Ali gave the Super Kings the start they needed with their contributions of 33 of 17 deliveries and 26 of 20 deliveries respectively. Bursts of runs provided by Ambati Rayudu and D.J. Bravo took CSK to a competitive target of 188 at the end of the first innings. Chetan Sakariya’s 3/36 and Chris Morris’ 2/33 spells are definitely praise-worthy.
In response, the Royals got off to a great start, thanks to Jos Buttler’s attack. His terrific form was brought to a halt by Ravindra Jadeja who dismissed him 1 run short of his half-century with an absolute gem of a delivery. The Royals kept losing wickets to the CSK spinners with Moeen Ali being the pick of the bowlers. His bowling figures were 3/7 in 3 overs. Late flourishes from Jaydev Unadkat and Rahul Tewatia brought the Royal to a respectable total of 143 for 9 at the end of 20 overs.
Moeen Ali bagged the player of the match due to this outstanding performance with the bat and the ball.
