Soon Kallis also got out leaving KKR at 36/2 in 4.4 overs. A twin strike in the 6th over totally shattered KKR innings and they were struggling at 38/4 in 5.2 overs. Robin Uthappa and Yusuf Pathan were the only hopes and the duo scored 47 and 41 respectively but after their wickets, it was all over for KKR and they eventually lost the match by 34 runs.

Though they lost Dwayne Smith early but Brendon McCullum and Suresh Raina then played with ease and took the score to 90 in 10.4 overs befoer Raina got out. This brought Dhoni to the crease and his cameo of 22 along with superb 56 off 40 by Brendon McCullum helped CSK post a total of 148/3 in 17 overs.
