Finally Chennai Super Kings have made it to the qualifying match as Dhoni fired just at the right moment to take his team to a superb win against Mumbai Indians.
Chennai Super Kings who had an average season so far were lucky enough to have qualify for this match but now they can not leave things to luck as they need to perform well against Delhi Daredevils to qualify for the finals.
