#5 Punjab’s spinners apply the stranglehold
When you are chasing a huge total of 198, you need to go after the bowlers throughout the 20 overs. Punjab’s spinners made sure that did not happen as they did not give CSK’s batsmen too many loose deliveries.
Ashwin was magnificent with his leggies and pulled the rabbit out of the hat by opting for DRS when the umpire had indicated runs off Sam Billings’s bat. His brave move ensured that Billings had to go back to the hut.
His spell of 32/1 from 4 overs ensured that Chennai’s chase never got going in the middle overs. Mujeeb Ur Rahman was also frugal with the ball, conceding just 18 runs off 3 overs. The duo gave just 50 runs off their combined 7 overs.
