First Qualifier match of IPL 2019 ends up as expected. Yes Mumbai Indians registered their spot at final after beating their rivals Chennai Super Kings for third time in this season. First innings itself reveals the result of this match. But remember its a CSK match, so they take match till 18th over to reveal the result. Luckily no one didnt get heart attack because of this match. Those weak hearted fans should thank Surya Kumar Yadav for playing a lifetime knock.
Dhoni won the toss 11th time in this season and equals his own record of winning more tosses in an IPL season. After winning toss at chepauk always he used to pick bowl first. But this time he decided to bat first. May be weather is a bit cloudy and having less chance for dew in the pitch. Kedhar Jadhav ruled out due to injury and Murali Vijay came in. Watson and Du plesis started the innings. First batting started as like the KKR innings in last match against the same MI. Faf gone as first wicket for CSK in 3rd over with 6 runs. Raina came to bat and left for 5 runs after scoring a boundary for CSK. By knowing about chepauk pitch Rohit added jayant as additional spinner in the XI. He picked raina for that. Then Watson lost his wicket again in powerplay. Rayudu and Vijay put a partnership of 33 runs. Murali Vijay played a much needed innings at middle and scored 26 runs from 26 balls. Dhoni came it and hit a six. Then Rayudu and Dhoni trying to increase the team score at death. As usual Dhoni hit two consecutive sixes at 19th over of the innings by Malinga. CSK were 122 at the end of 19th over. But Bumrah controlled Dhoni at 20th over by giving just 9 runs. Eventhough he missed Dhoni wicket by bowling a no ball. Atleast he didnt conced many runs to him. Super Kings finished with 131 runs with 4 wickets loss which is 20 runs less in this pitch. MI spinners did well by conceding 60 runs from 11 overs with 4 wickets. Rohit should thank Rahul Chahar, Jayant and Krunal trio.
132 is an easy target for Mumbai Indians with their current form. Rohit and Quinton started the chase. Rohit batting and walking itself revealed that he is not going to be in crease for a long. As expected he hit first ball to four and gone at second ball. Suryakumar came at no 3 trying not to lose his wicket. On the other side harbhajan putting pressure in quinton by stopped him from playing big shots. Quinton played a unwanted inside out and didnt get and turn with elevation. Results in Faf caught him at long. Then Ishan Kishan and Surya Kumar played some defend shots and rotating singles only. Murali missed a catch opportunity for Surya Kumar which is the main reason for their loss. Eventhough both rotating singles they reducing the required runrate too. After powerplay both played shots along with ground only. So Super Kings didnt get any chance after that. They traget CSK key bowler Imran Tahir. Surya Kumar played many cut shots at point between slip and point fielder. He scored his half century. Tahir give two twist at 14th over. He took Ishan and Krunal in two consecutive balls. In his next over first ball he got chance to take Suryakumar but this time watson missed the catch. Hardik and Surya Kumar chased the target at 19th over itself. Suryakumar remains not out with 71 runs from 54 balls with 10 boundaries. He played his lifetime best knock in this match.
Super Kings lost the match in team selection itself. They know watson is not in good form. He is not even bowling. He scored 44 and 96 runs once in this season. Except this he lost his wicket in powerplay itself in 12 matches in this season. Dhoni should pick Santner in XI for Watson. He is a good spinner at chepauk pitch and in better batting form than him. Faf and Vijay should open the innings. Both Murali and vijay not only missed the catch, they missed the match too.Super Kings have one more chance to enter finals.They have to play with the winner of Eliminator match between DC and SRH.
Mumbai enters final 5th time in IPL 2010, 2013, 2015, 2017 and now. An interesting fact is all the four times they played against Dhoni. 2010,2013 and 2015 against CSK under Dhoni captaincy. In 2017 they played against Rising Pune Super Giants.
