Chennai. Chennai Super Kings scored a challenging score of 192 runs for five wickets in 20 overs in the IPL match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday. After losing the toss and coming to bat first, for Chennai, Sanju Samson scored 48, Dewald Brevis 41, Ayush Mhatre 38, Sarfaraz Khan 23 and Shivam Dubey scored 13 not out.

Samson hit four fours and three sixes in 32 balls, Mhatre hit six fours and two sixes in 17 balls, Brewis hit four fours and two sixes in 29 balls, Sarfaraz hit one four and two sixes in 18 balls and Shivam hit one four in 12 balls. Kolkata has done well by bowling well in the death overs and restricting Chennai to less than 200. Kolkata’s spinners, especially Sunil Narine, were very good, they stopped the run flow in the middle overs.

The pacers, especially Kartik Tyagi, bowled well in the death overs as the batsmen were finding it difficult to play big shots. Karthik also took the wickets of Samson and Brevis. Brewis and Sarfaraz made a fifty-run partnership, but had trouble hitting boundaries. Earlier, Samson and Ayush gave a great start to Chennai, but the team faltered in the middle. It is difficult to hit a shot on the pitch because the ball is gripping the surface.
