Before the start of the game, the skipper of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma termed the clash against Chennai Super Kings ElClassico of the Indian Premier League, and one has to say, it panned out in exact same way. Rohit Sharma registered a half-century after 16 long innings, but it came at a time when team needed the most. His 67 along with Evin Lewis' 32 helped Mumbai Indians to post 155 runs on the board.
In response, the hosts lost a few wickets at the start, and never really recovered post that. Lasith Malinga showed his class once again and picked four crucial wickets to help Mumbai Indians win by 46 runs at Chepauk Stadium. The two teams have virtually made it to the playoffs now. The road for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rajasthan Royals, and Kolkata Knight Riders becomes more tough. SCORECARD
