Chennai: The Chennai Super Kings huffed and puffed their way to 165 for four in 20 overs against a highly efficient Mumbai Indians in their Indian Premier League match here Tuesday.
Batting first on winning the toss, none of the Super Kings batsmen, including Murali Vijay, a centurion in the previous game here, were able to raise a gallop with the Mumbai bowlers keeping it tight, backed by precise field placements.
Opener Matthew Hayden top scored with 35, but was never able to dominate while the rest got good starts only to depart at regular intervals.
Towards close, Subramaniam Badrinath came up with some innovative shots to score 31 not out and provided some respectability to the total.
For Mumbai, off-spinner Harbhajan Singh was the pick of the bowlers with a two-wicket haul, but it was seamer Kieron Pollard whose two wickets in one over applied brakes on the Super Kings, who went without a single boundary for five overs.
