Now that is what the crowds have been waiting to see!

Chennai’s batting looks distinctly below par in the absence of Hayden and Hussey. Fleming is not proving a suitable replacement. That said, Dhoni steadied the ship and the tail wagged nicely to give an almost respectable 144. So the Chargers give chase, and a swift 54 from Gilchrist gets them off to a good start. The Super Kings bowlers fight back, tying the batsmen down, and Hyderabad needs 18 off the last three overs. Scott Styris wisely takes a single. And here’s Afridi, who has faced one legitimate ball, and run a bye off a wide. He spends one ball taking a careful look at Joginder Sharma’s bowling, and then proceeds to whack 20 runs off the next four balls. Game over, the Boom Boom way.
