On the match front, CSK set a massive target of 226 for 6 after being asked to bat first. Devon Conway’s quickfire 83 off 45 deliveries helped him bag the Man of the Match award, with a 74-run partnership with Ajinkya Rahane (37 off 20 balls) for the second wicket and an 80-run partnership with Shivam Dube (27-ball 52). Tushar Deshpande’s 3-wicket haul and Matheesha Pathirana’s last over helped Chennai secure a win in the run-chase after RCB lost their momentum with the back-to-back wickets of Glenn Maxwell (76 off 36 balls) and skipper Faf du Plessis (62 off 33).
