Sunrisers won the toss and elected to bat first.
SRH openers out in the middle. CSK fielders in position and we are all set to begin.
CSK XI: DR Smith, B McCullum, S Raina, F du Plessis, MS Dhoni, R Jadeja, M Manhas, R Ashwin, B Hilfenhaus, I Pandey, M Sharma
SRH XI: A Finch, S Dhawan, D Warner, L Rahul, V Rao, D Sammy, K Sharma, I Sharma, D Steyn, A Mishra, B Kumar
Almost in tandem! Two fours from Smith and McCullum -- one over mid-wicket and one through the covers and CSK need less than 100 runs to win this one
Good over from Mishra -- just six off it. Some pressure needs to be put on this lineup if SRH have any hope of winning.
SIX! Smith wants to end this quickly. Stands and smacks one over the fence!
And another one! Six more as Smith clears square-leg with sublime ease. Ishant Sharma is not liking this.
Four! Now McCullum has a right go -- same square-leg area, different bowler -- Amit Mishra.
10 overs gone - midway to their run-chase, CSK are 75-0.
Bowled! McCullum b KV Sharma 40 (33b, 3x4, 2x6): That was quick, turned and completely bamboozled McCullum. CSK 85-1
Fifty Smith brings up his with a single. That one's off 37 balls. #CSK cruising on 94-1 in 12 overs.
SIX! He's not stopping at 50 is he? Massive hit over mid-wicket now...
And Raina gets in on the act! That was a classy SIX over long-on. Any way CSK are gonna lose this one? 110-1 now.
Wicket! Raina c Venugopal Rao b I Sharma 14 (10b, 1x4, 1x6) Got a bit too impatient, hits it straight to the fielder. Unneeded, that.
SIX! Smith's onslaught continues - this one's a powerful slog-sweep over the on side.
Oh by the way, Dhoni is here to bat...
Wicket! Smith c Warner b Kumar 66 (46b, 4x4, 5x6) Fine innings comes to an end as Warner takes a running catch at long-off. That's the only misjudged shot Smith's hit today.
Wicket! du Plessis c Rahul b Kumar 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6) Mini collapse! Edged and taken by the keeper. CSK 127-4.
Two wickets in that over have made CSK slightly nervous...
