Dolphins 188 | Overs 20

C Alexander 16(7)

Mohit to bowl the final over of the match. Starts well, it’s a dot ball. Oh nice slower ball, but Alexander has thrown his bat at this and gets FOUR!  Slower ball and this time it’s SIX! And he gets a single now. Just two balls to go in the match. It’s a dot ball there. So final delivery of the game. And he’s BOWLED HIM! Mohit ends up with four wickets!

OUT! A Phehlukwayo 22(17) b Mohit


Dolphins 177/9 | Overs 19

A Phehlukwayo 22(15), C Alexander 5(3)

Bravo continues. He has been sublime tonight. Dot ball to start with. And another dot ball. Dolphins need 74 to win off 10 balls. Oh he’s bashed that away, SIX more! Phehlikwayo hits it again, and one more run. Two balls to go now. And another dot to Alexander. Slower ball, and the batsmen finish with a single.


Dolphins 169/9 | Overs 18

A Phehlukwayo 15(11), C Alexander 4(1)

Mohit comes into the attack. Starts with a good ball. It’s a dot. Another slower ball, another dot. Just one more. And yet another dot. OH HE’S BOWLED HIM! Craig Alexander comes in. And he’s off the mark with FOUR more!

OUT! K Abbott 5(4) b Mohit

Dwayne Bravo continues. One to start with. And another single. OH this is SIX… no it isn’t! BRENDON MCCULLUM YOU BEAUTY! Saved a certain six, he jumped, took the catch one-handed, saw he was falling way over the ropes, and thew it back into play. Phenomenal fielding!


Dolphins 147/7 | Overs 15

A Phehlukwayo 6(3), R Frylinck 2(2)

Phehlukwayo comes in now. And Zondo departs! Nehra strikes with his first ball! Robbie Frylinck comes in. And one feels that the Dolphins are deflated by now. They gave CSK some real heartburn while it lasted, but surely it’s over now. Of course, cricket is a funny game. Phehlukwayo gets FOUR through point! It’s not over till it’s over. Eight runs off that over.

OUT! K Zondo 9(8) c b Nehra

Darryn Smit comes in now. Just one to Zondo. And another dot ball. Lots of drama off this last ball! Lobbed in the air off the bat (or was it pad?) but fell short of Dhoni, who threw off his glove and threw down the stumps. Smit doesn’t bother the scorers!

Frylinck comes back on now. Nicely played by Jadeja down the ground, he gets two for that. Oh lovely shot, delicately played down third man for FOUR. Short, wide, and FOUR more runs through point! Jadeja playing a little gem. And he flicks this for two more to square leg. Short ball, but Jadeja doesn’t time it too well, so he gets just one off that pull. Last ball now. Ashwin on strike.

Here comes Kyle Abbott. And Bravo thrashes this through cover for FOUR off the first ball! “Typical Caribbean flair” some might say. Wide ball. Oops, it’s a no-ball as well! That will count first, so it’s going to be a free hit now. As if they needed one. Oh great yorker, just one for Bravo. Well bowled, another yorker. Oh dear, he’s gone and over-stepped again.

And a single off the last ball.


CSK 89/1 | Overs 7

B McCullum 47(25), S Raina 24(14)

Raina on strike now. Short ball, and Raina pulls this one in typical fashion for SIX over square leg! That’s the 77th six of CLT20 2014. One more tucked off his pads. Another one. Last ball now.

And he sweeps again, gets it to the same man and gets one more. Well bowled, one more for Baz. No boundaries off the over so far. Raina gets an inside edge for just one more. This will be the first over sane a boundary. And it is, just five off it with a single off the last ball.


CSK 65/1 | Overs 5

Short ball and WHAT A SHOT! Baz pulls that with disdain for SIX more! Wide ball. Nice yorker, just one. Short ball, Raina pulls, gets an outside edge and gets FOUR. Life for a bowler is a sad thing right now. And a dot ball to end.


CSK 46/1 | Overs 4

B McCullum 25(14), S Raina 11(7)

And now Suresh Raina gets in on the action! SIX off the very first ball Robbie Frylinck bowls! He has now conceded three sixes off the last three balls he has bowled this tournament (remember Mitchell Marsh?)! And now a single. Baz steps out and cuts it away for FOUR more! Misfield from Cameron Delport at point allows that to slip away. Short ball, pulled away and FOUR more runs for Baz! CSK off to a real flier here today! Well bowled, just one. Last ball of the over now. And a dot to end with.


CSK 30/1 | Overs 3

B McCullum 16(11), S Raina 4(3)

Craig Alexander comes on to bowl now. And that’s a tremendous shot! McCullum smacks him through cover for FOUR! Oh slashed hard away through point for FOUR more! This is the same ground where Baz hit that epic 158 in the very first match of IPL history. How CSK would love a replay of that effort! Nicely played again, but it is intercepted by Raina’s bat so it’s a dot ball. OH WHAT A WHOPPER! Baz is on fire here! SIX down the ground! 4, 4, 0, 6 so far off this over. LBW appeal, but it would have missed leg stump. The batsmen cross over for one leg bye. And another leg bye there.


CSK 14/1 | Overs 2

B McCullum 2(6), S Raina 4(3)

Here comes Kyle Abbott now. Oh nicely bowled, McCullum takes one. Another single for McCullum, and it’s a leg bye. Oh lovely shot from Raina, that’s flicked away for FOUR down fine leg. And a dot ball to end with.


CSK 9/1 | Overs 1

B McCullum 2(2), S Raina 0(0)

Keshav Maharaj starts proceedings. And Dwayne Smith takes a single. McCullum off the mark with one as well. SIX! Big shot by Smith! Right out of the middle. Oh he goes for it again AND HE’S TAKEN by Zondo! Raina is the new man in but Bazz is on strike. And he gets one.

Time for the toss now. Morne van Wyk wins the toss and the Dolphins will bowl first. Neither team has any changes in the playing XI.


Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live blog of the match No 8 between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Dolphins at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Monday. I am Shiamak Unwalla, and I will be bringing you the over-by-over updates of the match.

According to PTI, after a jittery start, Chennai Super Kings will look for a turnaround to get their campaign back on track when they take on South African team Nashua Dolphins in a Group A match of the Champions League T20.Chennai had lost their opening encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders with Andre Russell and Ryan ten Doeschate smashing half centuries for the winners.

The two-time IPL champions’ top four batsmen — Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum, Suresh Raina and Faf Du Plessiss — failed to make an impression, and they would hope for a better outing. For any side to register a win, it is necessary for the openers to give a good start, and Smith and McCullum are well aware of it.

They would like to make amends by giving a platform for the explosive Raina and the dogged Du Plessis, to score freely, something they could not do against the Knight Riders after Chennai were struggling at 49 for two in 6.4 overs.

Squads:

Chennai Super Kings: MS Dhoni (c&wk), Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishwar Pandey, Ashish Nehra, Mithun Manhas, Pawan Negi Mohit Sharma, John Hastings, Samuel Badree.

Dolphins: Morne van Wyk (c), Cameron Delport, Cody Chetty, Vaughn van Jaarsveld, Khayelihle Zondo, Daryn Smit (wk), Andile Phehlukwayo, Robert Frylinck, Keshav Maharaj, Kyle Abbott, Craig Alexander.
