Chasing the target of 148, Chennai Super Kings lost the first wicket in the very first over and this early wicket gave Mumbai Indians some confidence. But Hayden was in no mood to give away the victory to Mumbai Indians. He played really well though it was not his natural aggressive stroke play but still he damaged the hope of Mumbai Indians. Raina and Badrinath also contributed but it was Hayden’s heroics which gave Chennai Super Kings a easy victory. Dhoni also supported really well and both Dhoni and Hayden made sure no more wickets were lost and thus Chennai Super Kings won the match by 7 wickets.
