Chennai Super Kings had, to wait agonisingly, for the fourth ball of last over of their innings, to feel comfortable, for a victory after scoring mammoth one hundred and eighty five runs, in rain affected match in Centurion.

The match must have gratified all the spectators, who were voracious for a run feast and it reminded of clean merciless hitting of IPL 1st edition, where fours and sixes flooded the stadium and with the match going down the wire, with some good fight from Punjab Kings XI batsmen, only to discover twelve runs short of score.

Chennai Super Kings has got a superman in form of Matthew Hayden, who sounds to have, forgotten the law of averages, where he is replicating good starts incessantly, for his team and this time more deadly, than previous one, where he hammered Punjab Kings XI bowlers, for six huge sixes.

Suresh Raina, who went into middle, after the fall of Badrinath, for a duck, was in no mood to be a mere spectator, to Hayden’s innings, but he was ferocious and matched shot to shot with Hayden, but soon fell after the rain interruption, which resulted in reduction of overs to eighteen per team.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni came, to party for Chennai Super Kings in the end, where he managed, to leave the field, with a strike rate of over two hundred and his team score of one eighty five runs. Yuvraj Singh was unsettled, by their batting display, that he under bowled his premium bowler ,of Yusuf Abdullah and Matthew Hayden three huge sixes of Sreesanth ,at the death was one of the spectacle, of the match.

Punjab even after the loss of early wicket of Sohal, gave a solid reprisal to Super Kings, in form of Simon Katich, who played a brilliant innings up – front, to give a dream start, for Punjab and bringing his half – century in twenty four balls with four huge sixes.

Yuvraj Singh came, to the middle, after the fall of Karan Goel and Punjab’s hopes rested solely, on his lunatic willow and he dint disappoint any one, where he forged a great partnership with former Srilankan captain Mahela Jayawardene, who took special care of his Srilankan counterpart Muttiah Muralitharan.

They brought the ever climbing required rate down, where one stage they required mere forty three runs from four overs, but Dhoni brought on his golden Knight Suresh Raina, which proved, to be a decisive weapon , as he conceded mere eight runs from two over spell and handed the leaders tag in point table to his team.
