So 189 is what Rajasthan need to get back-to-back wins. They will be happy with their efforts with the ball and now the onus will be on their batters to take their side over the line. Chennai would have liked a score close to 200 but they enter the break with momentum on their side and will hope they can carry this onto the second innings. Can the Chennai bowlers manage to defend this total or will Rajasthan scale this down? Join us for the chase to find out.
The young star with the ball for Rajasthan, Chetan Sakariya is down for a chat. Sakariya says it is holding up and at the start it was good for batting but it is a slow wicket. States batting is not difficult but the slower ones are difficult to bat against. Mentions there is dew. Ends by saying this is chasable and they have bowled well.
A very good bowling display from Rajasthan. Once again it was young Chetan Sakariya who was the star of the show. He finished with 3/36 from his 4, picking crucial wickets of Raina, Rayudu and Dhoni. Morris showed his worth with the ball as well, picking up 2 wickets. Parag and Unadkat were the only bowlers to go over 10 rpo.
After being put into bat, Chennai once again lost Gaikwad early. Faf du Plessis, Moeen, Raina, and Rayudu all got starts but were unable to take charge and carry on. Dhoni and Jadeja's slow innings did not help cause either as Chennai needed them to fire. Curran and Bravo's cameo though helped the 3-time champions get close to 190 but that still might prove to be 10-15 runs short.
A superb finish from Bravo to finish the innings. His brilliant cameo has taken Chennai to a very good total but Rajasthan will be happy with their overall effort in this belter of a pitch. Just 63 from the last 6 overs. It is a lot on any other surface but on a batting paradise like Wankhede with a lot of dew, this is a very good effort from Rajasthan.
