Chennai Super Kings go from 7 for 3 to victory courtesy Ruturaj Gaikwad

Chennai Super Kings 156 for 6 (Gaikwad 88*, Milne 2-21) beat Mumbai Indians 136 for 8 (Tiwary 50*, D Chahar 2-19) by 20 runs

The match between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians is often dubbed as the El Clásico of the IPL and once again it lived up to its billing.

Batting first, Chennai were 24 for 4 at the end of the powerplay, with Ambati Rayudu additionally having retired hurt. But Ruturaj Gaikwad struck an unbeaten 88 off 58 balls, laced with nine fours and four sixes, to lift Super Kings to 156 for 6.

With Ravindra Jadeja (26 off 33), Gaikwad added 81 off 64 balls for the fifth wicket. That set the platform for some late-overs hitting, which Gaikwad and Bravo (23 off 8) did with aplomb, Super Kings taking 58 off the last four overs.

Mumbai were without Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya, but it was still not a daunting target. Super Kings' seamers, led by Deepak Chahar, kept striking at regular intervals though and had Mumbai 58 for 4 in the tenth over.

Saurabh Tiwary and stand-in captain Kieron Pollard showed fight but once Josh Hazlewood trapped Pollard lbw, with Mumbai still needing 70 from 41, the contest was all but over. In the end, Mumbai could muster only 136 for 8 despite Tiwary (50* off 40) staying till the end.
