Chennai Super Kings’ captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat. Matthew Hayden (89 runs off 58 balls), Dhoni (56 off 27 balls) and Suresh Raina (32 off 20 balls) smashed apart the Kings XI Punjab bowlers as they scored 185/3 in 18 overs of the rain curtailed match. Kings XI Punjab batsmen also came out very good and the match looked evenly poised with Yuvraj Singh (58 off 36 balls), Simon Katich (50 off 25 balls) and Mahela Jayawardena (44 off 25 balls) hitting flurry of fours and sixes. But the target was too much for the Punjab batsmen and they could only score 174 in their 18 overs. Matthew Hayden was awarded the Man of the Match for his terrific innings.

Chennai Super Kings thrashed the Deccan Chargers in the 29th match of IPL T20 season 2. Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat. Most of the Chennai batsmen cleared the boundary ropes easily and Chennai Super Kings reached 178/3 in 20 overs with prominent contributions from Matthew Hayden (43 off 26 balls), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (58 off 37 balls), Suresh Raina (32 off 19 balls) and Murali Vijay (31 off 33 balls). Deccan Chargers kept losing on wickets when they came to bat and even a cameo by Dwayne Smith (49 off 23 balls) could not save them from defeat. The Deccan Chargers were bundled out for only 100 runs in 14.4 overs. Shadab Jakati was the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets for 22 runs while Muttiah Muralidaran and Albie Morkel bagged 2 wickets each. Dhoni was awarded the Man of the Match for his brilliant knock.
