	Match Scorecard
Man of the Match: L Malinga	Chepauk, Chennai (24 September 2011)

Vijay fell for just 8 but Raina gave Mussey good support as CSK reached 60/1 after 9 with 48% COW. Rainsa fell in next over and Badri’s struggle negated Mussey’s brilliant batting. When Badri finally fell for 15 CSK was 112/3 after 16 with 46% COW. Mussey and MSD launched a late rally as CSK ended with 158/4 after 20 with 47% COW. After a bright star MI slumped from 49/1 to 85/6 with 43% COW before Pollard and Bhajji gave them some hope. Pollard’s wicket meant it was all over but a madcap cameo by Malinga turned the match on its head as MI scraped through with 1 ball to spare.
