CSK - Chennai Super Kings’ Super Chase of 203

5th match (N), Indian Premier League at Chennai, Apr 10, 2018

Chennai Super Kings 205 for 5 (Billings 56, Watson 42) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 202 for 6 (Russell 88*) by five wickets)

A messy start greeted Chennai Super Kings back to the MA Chidambaram Stadium: protests and a delayed toss due to the late arrival of match officials. The end was even more distracted, as Super Kings hunted down 17 off the final over, bowled by Vinay Kumar, to edge a high-scoring page-turner and keep the IPL's trend of successful chases this season alive.

Chasing 203 after Andre Russell cleaned 88 off 36 balls, the highest score by a No. 7 batsman or lower in the IPL, Super Kings' hunt subsided and streamed until the final over. Super Kings were given an authoritative, rapid start by Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu, whose 75-run opening standoff 35 balls brought the voice of a passive home crowd back. Then MS Dhoni's 25 off 28 pushed Knight Riders ahead once more as the required rate climbed.

Ultimately, the innings that gave Super Kings a chance came from Sam Billings. His strength is against pace, so he bided his time against Knight Riders' spinners, using his feet and putting twos into large gaps. Off the seamers, he pulled, drove and scooped his way to a 23-ball 56, his fastest T20 half-century, but holed out in the second to last over.

Then the final over. Vinay's first ball, a full toss on leg stump that was questionably deemed a no-ball for height, was swung away over fine leg for six by Dwayne Bravo. Off the penultimate delivery, Ravindra Jadeja thumped a six over long-on to complete another stunning come-from-behind win for Super Kings.

Given their personnel and the roles assigned, Knight Riders have set their template for the season: attack from the outset and don't let wickets get in the way too much. The trend is already discernible.

The approach of attempting to score boundaries despite losing wickets is fraught with risk, but it has worked for Knight Riders twice in two games.
