To get it back past 30, I would have taken it below 200 any day. Chasing it down we needed just 80 runs in 10 overs. From there it was just about building two partnerships. We scored just four runs in the next two overs,” CSK-10 captain Mark followed. Rituraj Gaikwad said after the match.“Chasing 12-13 at the death is going to be tough. It’s been three games in a row where the bowling unit has done really well. Even in the powerplay today I thought Abhishek played brilliantly. I think everyone did a good job with the ball. Anshul is really working on his bowling, especially at the death. Rarely do you find that bowler I tell the captain to do what I want him to do. for,” he said.CSK will now face Delhi Capitals on April 21, while CSK will face Mumbai Indians on April 23.
