Well! Kudos to ourselves when we said the Chennai Super Kings is an ordinary team! Of course, Chennaiites are unlucky to have gotten a rather mediocre team and now the fact is substantiated by the Chennai Super Kings losing out to Kings XI Punjab. The Kings XI Punjab did not look any closer to victory for more than three quarter of the entire match.
The Chennai Super Kings may have gotten an age old Matthew Hayden, clean striking and spearheading Dhoni, a wily off spinner Muttaih Muralitharan, but at times they cannot break free when they really have to. In today's match, it was Muttiah Muralitharan who downsized the Kings XI Punjab to a meager total of 136 for the loss of 7 wickets with his magical spell of 3 wickets for 16 runs.Chennai Super Kings vs Kings XI Punjab - Kings XI Punjab won the match against Chennai Super Kings
A nail-biting finish and beyond! This match was like life after death. The Chennai Super Kings had let the match go down to the wire! The Chennai Super Kings lost the match from 65 for no loss. Wickets falling in quick succession led to the downfall of the Chennai Super Kings. The Chennai Super Kings were left stranded at 136 for 8 losing the wicket of Ravichandran Ashwin at the last ball of the 20 overs.
The Chennai Super Over
The tie breaker was announced with a Super Over. Three of the batsmen from both the teams get to play six balls. Both teams can lose a wicket. The Chennai Super Kings took Matthew Hayden, Albie Morkel and Suresh Raina. The Kings XI Punjab chose Mahela Jayawardene, Yuvraj Singh and Irfan Pathan. The bowler they chose was Juan Theron.
Albie Morkel played a single and gave the strike to Mongoose bat Hayden who was bowled out the very first ball he faced. Then, Suresh Raina went on to score a six to post a Super Over total of nine runs. Then, awaiting their turn, the Kings XI Punjab came up with Mahela Jayawardene to open who scored a six off Muttiah Muralidaran's very first delivery. Repeating the loft, Mahela Jayawardene was caught in the deep (Long on).

Then came the fiery Yuvraj Singh who was out of form until today and was involved in a controversy recently with Aanchal Kumar where he was found in a party with the model. Yuvraj Singh missed one (delivery off Muralitharan) and then reverse swept (another delivery from Muralitharan) to score a four! The Kings XI Punjab scored the Super Over target of 10 runs set by the Chennai Super Kings to win the match!
