Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 05 - 2014

MUMBAI — Dwayne Smith fired a brilliant half century while Mahendra Singh Dhoni blasted a 12-ball 22 to hand Chennai Super Kings a four-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League here Saturday.
Chasing 158 to win, Smith scored 57 off 51 balls including five boundaries and three sixes, while Raina hit 19 from 11 balls.
Faf du Plessis kept the chase under control as he scored 31 from 24 balls before Dhoni smashed a quick 22 to finish the job in style with three balls to spare.
Earlier, a half-century by Ambati Rayudu and some late flourish from Corey Anderson meant Mumbai Indians piled on 157 for six in 20 overs. Put in to bat, Lendl Simmons provided a good start scoring 38 from as many balls. Rayudu carried on the good work to score 59 from 43 deliveries including two sixes and four boundaries while skipper Rohit Sharma chipped in with a crucial 19.
Anderson provided a six-ball 18 not out including two sixes as Mumbai put on a strong total.
Brief scores: Mumbai Indians 157 for 6 in 20 overs (Lendl Simmons 38, Ambati Rayudu 59; Ravichandran Ashwin 3 for 30, Mohit Sharma 1 for 26) lost to Chennai Super Kings 160 for 6 in 19.3 overs (Dwayne Smith 57, Faf du Plessis 31; Lasith Malinga 2 for 15, Praveen Kumar 2 for 31) by 4 wickets.
Hyderabad clinches rain-hit tie against Delhi
On a frustrating evening with four rain stoppages, sensational death bowling and a cameo from Naman Ojha set up an eight-wicket win (Duckworth-Lewis method) for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla. This was the fourth consecutive loss for Daredevils on their home ground in this IPL.
Sunrisers gave away just 22 in the last five overs, restricting Daredevils to 143 for 7, before their own chase was shortened first to 117 off 15 overs, then 97 of 12 overs and finally 43 off five.
Daredevils nearly clawed back into the game, as Rahul Shukla dismissed Aaron Finch with Sunrisers still needing 18 off 10 but Naman Ojha and David Warner ensured there were no further hiccups. Warner put away a full toss and Ojha followed it up with a slog over deep midwicket that brought the equation to six off the last over. Ojha's six off Laxmi Shukla took Sunrisers home with four balls to spare.
Brief scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad 44 for 2 (Ojha 13 not out) beat Delhi Daredevils 143 for 7 (Karthik 39, Steyn 2-20) by eight wickets (D/L method). — Agencies
