Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik then took the team score past the 50 run mark. Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten on 39 off 30 balls and a cameo of 25 in 11 balls by Harbhajan Singh helped Mumbai post 139/5 in 20 overs.

The third over saw a complete batting collapse as Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina and ubramaniam Badrinath got out leaving CSK struggling at 9/3. CSK needed a partnership to continue their winning streak but superb bowling by Mumbai never allowed them to have it. Only three CSK batsmen, M Hussey, MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja scored double digit runs with Hussey being the top scorer with 22. CSK were all out for 79 and thus lost the match by 60 runs.
