LMP Simmons c Sharma b Ashwin 63 (41b) ==================================================================================== Over 10 || Score CSK are still searching for their first breakthrough as both the Trinidad openers – Lendl Simmons and Evin Lewis are looking in fine touch at the moment. They have now added 79 runs for the first wicket and Simmons smashed Jadeja for two sixes and a boundary in the tenth over of the innings.

Considering the kind of total they are chasing, this has been an excellent start so far. ==================================================================================== Chennai Super Kings innings: Over 20 || Score 118/ Considering their formidable batting line-up, 118 is a below par score for the Chennai Super Kings. They have been unbeaten in the tournament so far but this is CSK’s best chance to chase down the total and advance to the semis. But the Chennai bowlers for sure will put a fight.

Dwayne Bravo who hasn’t got many opportunities to bat in the tournament failed with the bat as he edged one to the keeper after playing just four balls. The next wicket to fall was of Ravindra Jadeja who was run-out. 21 runs have been scored in the last five overs but with Dhoni still at the crease, any score is possible.

M Vijay b Simmons 27 (24b) ==================================================================================== Over 5 || Score 25/1 Ravi Rampaul got his side to a great start as he dismissed in-form Michael Hussey off a delivery that breached the gap between the bad and the bad and uprooted the off-stump! Suresh Raina is the new man in. MEK Hussey b Rampaul 1 (2b) ==================================================================================== Toss: Trinidad & Tobago won the toss and Denesh Ramdin decided to bowl first. Chennai would be high on confidence after being unbeaten in the tournament and even though they are into the semis, complacency shouldn’t be on their minds as they take on Trinidad and Tobago in New Delhi. All the key players for CSK – MS Dhoni, Michael Hussey, Suresh Raina have proven their mettle once again in the tournament and they even Murali Vijay was amongst the runs in their previous match against Brisbane Heats where he scored 42 runs. It’s an extremely crucial match for Trinidad & Tobago as the fourth spot for semis is still up for grabs. They will seal their ticket if they win the match or if they lose it by less than five runs. Chennai will play the second semi-final against Mumbai Indians who defeated Perth Scorchers earlier in the day to advance into the semis.
