Kings XI Punjab made Chennai Super Kings really sweat in a spirited chase towards a Duckworth-Lewis revised target of 187, but when it mattered most tactical nuance won it for Chennai. Simon Katich had set the tone for Punjab's bravado and Yuvraj Singh and Mahela Jayawardene batted superbly in the face of adversity, adding 90 in just 8.5 overs under lights. Then, with 30 left to defend off 12 balls, MS Dhoni took pace off the ball by calling on Suresh Raina's part-time off-spin, and that six-run over provide definitive.
Chennai's big total was set up by Matthew Hayden's belligerent 89, either side of an hour-and-half's rain delay, and Dhoni's sparky 56 from 27 balls. Up against the strongest batting line-up in the tournament, they were pummeled into submission for the second match running
