Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals were both losing a lot of matches in IPL 2. But Chennai Super Kings had a very good batting and bowling lineup and it was expected that they will start winning matches once again.

Shane Warne won the toss and put Chennai Super Kings to bat. With the help of a brilliant innings of 98 runs off 55 balls by Suresh Raina, Chennai Super Kings scored 164/5 in their 20 overs.
