Earlier, it was Mumbai Indians who won the toss and elected to bat first. The decision was fruitful as they got the wicket of F du Plessis in the very first over. M Vijay and S. Raina then got into a solid partnership and it looked they will help CSK post a decent target. But J Franklin got the wicket of M Vijay. This brought Dwayne Bravo on the crease and together with Raina he took the score to 75 when Ojha got the priced wicket of Suresh Raina. This wicket triggered the fall of wickets and one after another a solid looking batting lineup fell like heap of cards. CSk were all out for 112 in 19.5 overs.
