IPL 2020, CSK vs MI as it happened: Mumbai Indians hand 10-wicket hammering to Chennai Super Kings

MUMBAI INDIANS WIN BY 10 WICKETS
The first time CSK have lost an IPL match by this margin. Quinton de Kock remains not-out on 46 off 37, Ishan Kishan is unbeaten on 68 off 37. MI were simply unstoppable in Sharjah tonight.

After 12 overs, MI are 112/0 (QdK 42, Kishan 68)
A quiet over but the match is almost done. Deepak Chahar finishes with figures of 0/34 from his four overs. MI need 3 off 48.

After 11 overs, MI are 108/0 (QdK 40, Kishan 66)
This has been an astonishing match – for the way CSK collapsed and for the way MI have played. Truly a passing of the baton. A dropped catch by Gaikwad only adds to CSK’s misery. Everything that could have gone wrong... has.

After 10 overs, MI are 98/0 (QdK 32, Kishan 64)
Decent over by Tahir until the last ball which was promptly dispatched by Kishan straight down the ground for a six. CSK’s batting effort was poor and MI are showing them how it is done.

After 9 overs, MI are 89/0 (QdK 30, Kishan 57)
A reverse hit six for Kishan to his fifty off 29 balls. And then the next ball was slog swept into the stands. Jadeja still bowling length balls and still disappearing into the stands. MI need 26 off 66 balls to seal the win.

After 8 overs, MI are 73/0 (QdK 28, Kishan 44)
Kishan has just not taken his foot off the accelerator here. Another six in the Tahir over and another big over. MI are just looking to crush CSK here.

After 7 overs, MI are 64/0 (QdK 27, Kishan 37)
Four and six! There’s no stopping the MI openers at the moment. Shardul Thakur joins the attack and is taken to the cleaners by Quinton de Kock. Time for a strategic timeout. Mumbai Indians need 51 off 78.

What a sensational spell this was from Trent Boult:

After 6 overs, MI are 52/0 (QdK 16, Kishan 36)
Imran Tahir comes on to bowl his first over this season and concedes just five runs. That’s the end of the powerplay. MI are cruising!

After 5 overs, MI are 47/0 (QdK 13, Kishan 34)
BIG over for Mumbai Indians! Stunning ball-striking from Ishan Kishan! The left-hander smashes two square on the off side for fours before thumping the last one over the square-leg fence for a flat six. Deepak Chahar has figures of 0/30 from his three overs so far.

After 4 overs, MI are 30/0 (QdK 12, Kishan 18)
It’s all going Mumbai Indians’s way! Ishan Kishan picks up two more fours. The first one in this over by Josh Hazlewood goes straight through Ruturaj Gaikwad at point, and the second one is a top-edge that flies over the slip cordon.

After 3 overs, MI are 22/0 (QdK 12, Kishan 10)
Lucky boundary for Quinton de Kock! The left-hander swings hard and the top-edge flies over short-third for four. Would have been a wicket had there been a fielder in the deep. Five runs come from Deepak Chahar’s second over.

After 2 overs, MI are 17/0 (QdK 8, Kishan 9)
Cracking square-cuts from Ishan Kishan to pick up two fours. Josh Hazlewood bangs it in and pays the price. Nine runs from that over.

After 1 over, MI are 8/0 (QdK 8, Kishan 0)
Two fours in the first over for Quinton de Kock! First a thick edge to the third man fence, then a beautiful straight drive past Deepak Chahar. MI are up and running!

9.31 pm: Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock are opening the batting. The target for MI is 115 runs. Deepak Chahar has the new ball. Can CSK make a match of this? We’re ready for the chase in Sharjah!

CSK FINISH WITH 114/9
They were 43/7 at one stage and have done well to get to this total. Sam Curran with a brilliant, gutsy knock of 52 from 47. Trent Boult with superb figures of 4/18 from his four overs. Curran hit a couple of fours in the last over but Boult knocked-back his stumps with a sizzling yorker off the final ball.

After 19 overs, CSK are 101/8 (Curran 40, Tahir 12)
Chennai have done well to cross the 100-run mark having been 43/7 at one stage. Fine upper-cut for four by Tahir as Bumrah finishes with figures of 2/25 from his four overs.

After 18 overs, CSK are 93/8 (Curran 37, Tahir 7)
Superb shot from Sam Curran! The left-hander moves swiftly and scoops one for four. Nathan Coulter-Nile finishes with figures of 1/25 from his four overs.

After 17 overs, CSK are 82/8 (Curran 30, Tahir 7)
Shot! Krunal pitches it short and Tahir pierces the gap between backward point and short-third to pick up four. Good over for Chennai, nine runs from it.

After 16 overs, CSK are 73/8 (Curran 28, Tahir 0)
Jasprit Bumrah returns to the attack and concedes two runs in his third over. Sam Curran is refusing singles and shielding Imrah Tahir. Might as well do that look for some boundaries.

After 14.5 overs, CSK are 71/8 – Shardul is gone!
OUT! And the eighth-wicket partnership is broken after 28 runs. Nathan Coulter-Nile gets the wicket as Shardul Thakur departs for 11 off 20. The right-hander attempted an upper-cut but the ball looped straight to backward point.

After 14 overs, CSK are 67/7 (Curran 26, Shardul 8)
It’s all calm at the moment after the stormy start. Krunal Pandya concedes four runs in his second over.

After 13 overs, CSK are 63/7 (Curran 24, Shardul 6)
Rahul Chahar finishes with fine figures of 2/22 from his four overs. Time for a strategic timeout.

After 12 overs, CSK are 60/7 (Curran 22, Shardul 5)
Skipper Kieron Pollard joins the attack and slips in a quiet over. CSK will be hoping they can touch 100.

After 11 overs, CSK are 56/7 (Curran 20, Shardul 3)
Just the four runs concedes by Rahul Chahar in his third over. The leg-spinner has been superb tonight.

After 10 overs, CSK are 52/7 (Curran 17, Shardul 2)
Shot! Coulter-Nile pitches it short and Curran pulls it for six. He’s a good man to have in such a situation. The left-hander has plenty of overs to make a mark. Of course, he needs company at the other end.

After 8.5 overs, CSK are 43/7 – Chahar is gone!
OUT! CSK have lost their seventh wicket! Rahul Chahar has removed his brother Deepak Chahar. Good stumping by Quinton de Kock. Mayhem in Sharjah! Time for a strategic timeout.

Watch Bumrah’s two wickets in his first over:

After 8 overs, CSK are 32/6 (Curran 2, D Chahar 0)
Nathan Coukter-Nile joins the attack and concedes two runs in his first over. Phew! What a match this has turned out to be!

After 6.4 overs, CSK are 30/6 – Dhoni is gone!
SIX & OUT! Rahul Chahar has got the big wicket of MS Dhoni! This is an absolute nightmare for CSK. Dhoni hit a six and attempted another one but edged it to the keeper. Fine work from skipper Pollard too so far. Deepak Chahar is the new man at the crease.

After 6 overs, CSK are 24/5 (Dhoni 10, Curran 1)
The end of another successful over for Mumbai Indians. Trent Boult changed his end and struck again. Sam Curran has joined MS Dhoni at the crease now. Can this pair guide CSK to a somewhat respectable total?

After 5.2 overs, CSK are 21/5 – Jadeja is gone!
OUT! CSK have lost five wickets in the powerplay for the first time in the history of the IPL! Trent Boult gets his third as Ravindra Jadeja hits it straight to mid-wicket. What. Is. Happening?!

After 5 overs, CSK are 21/4 (Dhoni 9, Jadeja 7)
Interesting move from Pollard as he removes Boult and brings Krunal into the attack. The left-arm spinner does well to bowl five straight dot balls to Dhoni to finish the over.

After 4 overs, CSK are 18/4 (Dhoni 9, Jadeja 6)
Much-needed runs for Chennai as Dhoni gets two fours before Jadeja pick up one too. Bumrah attacking with two slips in that over for Dhoni. This is a huge test for the CSK captain. Will the great man deliver?

After 2.5 overs, CSK are 3/4 – Faf is gone!
OUT! Fourth wicket for Mumbai Indians! This is turning into a nightmare for CSK. Trent Boult gets his second as the in-form Faf du Plessis plays a poor, poor shot to edge it to the keeper.

After 1.5 overs, CSK are 3/3 – Rayudu and Jagadeesan are gone!
TWO WICKETS IN TWO BALLS FOR BUMRAH! What is happening here?! First the bouncer was too quick for Ambati Rayudu and he gloved it to the keeper. Then Jagadeesan edged it to second slip. Sensational bowling from Boom Boom! Dhoni is the new man in, CSK are in huge trouble.

After 0.5 over, CSK are 0/1 – Ruturaj is gone!
OUT! CSK are off to a terrible start as Trent Boult has dismissed Ruturaj Gaikwad LBW for a duck. The umpire said not-out but MI took DRS and it showed three reds. Ambati Rayudu is the new man at the crease.

7.30 pm: We’re ready for live action in Sharjah! Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis are opening the batting for CSK. Trent Boult has the new ball in hand for MI. Here we go!
