The first ball was bowled at the pads and Hussey flicks that for three runs at deep midwicket.

Chennai Super Kings lost the top spot in the points table to Mumbai Indians who comprehensively defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad where Pollard single-handedly won them the game. The only concern for Chennai should be the form of their skipper who has been out of form in the last few matches. In case if Chennai win today, they will seal their berth, yet once again for the play-offs. Delhi Daredevils on the other hand have disappointed their fans yet once again and they can now be the party spoilers for a few of the other teams who are eyeing the play-offs. David Warner has been the only batsmen who has scored a couple of half-centuries in IPL 6 else most of the players have been disappointing and even Morne Morkel, the highest-wicket taker in IPL 5 has struggled to deliver for his team.
