May 11, 2018 21:32

CSK 142-3 (17 ovs) vs Rajasthan | Scorecard

Leg-spinner Sodhi comes back. Three singles from the first three balls before Dhoni nudges the fourth ball to fine leg for a couple.

Dhoni sweeps the next fine and almost gets a four but is denied by an excellent effort from Archer on the boundary.

Raina perishes off the last ball of the over as he top edges the sweep and is caught by Stuart Binny after a good innings of 52 from 35 balls.

Stokes bowls a good over under the circumstances as Sam Billings drills the fourth ball through the covers for a four coupled with two singles to get six from the over.

Sodhi ends his spell with a good over. He starts with three dot balls to Billings, who then sneaks in a leg bye and Dhoni picks one from the last ball.

CSK have slowed down considerably, scoring just 37 runs from the last five overs, while losing two wickets.

Left-arm pacer Unadkat comes back. Two singles from the first two balls before Dhoni takes a couple of steps down and clips it on the leg side for two runs.

Another single before Billings flicks the last ball wide of the long-on for two runs to get seven from the over.

Rajasthan have managed to dry up the boundaries with both Dhoni and Billings not given anything to work with.

Archer does well to vary his pace and length as he concedes just eight from his third over.

CSK have struggled in the last few overs to reach 142 for three in 17 overs, with Dhoni on 18 from 15 balls and Billings on 10 from 13 balls.

They have managed just 23 runs from the last four overs.
