Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2018

Mumbai Indians have made a shaky start to their IPL 2018 campaign, but showed on Saturday what they are capable of as they outgunned Chennai Super Kings in every department to record an eight-wicket win. It all started with the second over of the match bowled by Jasprit Bumrah. He was quick, aggressive and into the rib cage of Ambati Rayudu, who looked uncomfortable. Bumrah conceded just two runs in that over. Then on whenever Chennai threatened to pull away, they were pulled back by Mumbai. Ambati Rayudu (46) and Suresh Raina (75 no – 47b, 6x4, 4x6), who scored his 32nd IPL fifty, raised 71 for the second wicket but Mumbai bowled a few pressure overs that culminated in Rayudu falling to spinner Krunal Pandya. Having restricted CSK to 169/5, Suryakumar Yadav (44) and Evin Lewis’s opening stand of 69 provided a perfect platform before skipper Rohit Sharma took over (56no – 33b, 6x4, 2x6) to seal victory, Mumbai reaching 170/2 with two balls to spare.
