5.2 AB de Villiers goes for a first-ball duck. It was pretty fully, not a yorker but really full, and AB played all over it. 46/2
S Dhawan	c Kapugedera b Morkel	59	46	6	2	128.26

Chennai Super Kings innings (target: 188 runs from 20 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
S Vidyut	c Dhawan b Sangwan	40	23	6	1	173.91
6.1 Bangs this one short and Vidyut goes for the pull but the bat-handle rotates a touch in his hands and he couldn't find the proper timing. Caught at deep midwicket 62/1
SP Fleming	c de Villiers b Mohammad Asif	44	28	7	0	157.14
9.3 Caught at short covers. Full pitched, outside off stump, driven hard and low where AB pouches it. Good brisk innings but he should have carried on. An elegant innings by Mr Elegance himself 97/2
MS Dhoni*†	c de Villiers b Mahesh	33	33	3	0	100.00
18.1 What a stunning catch from AB. Dhoni had drilled a fullish delivery towards long-on and it was dipping rapidly on AB who was rushing forward. He dived forward to get his palms under the ball. Allan Border would understand Dhoni's feelings. He was out to a similar catch by Jadeja in the 1992 World Cup. 166/5
SK Raina	c Tiwary b Sangwan	1	2	0	0	50.00

JA Morkel	run out (Sehwag)	30	15	2	3	200.00
14.1 from McGrath, on the McGrath length, outside off stump, mistimes a pull past McGrath and sets for a run but Sehwag comes across from midwicket and has a direct hit. Big blow for the Kings but what a throw from Viru 138/4
