IPL 2018: 5 thrilling clashes between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings

#1 IPL 2012, Mumbai

Smith played one of the best cameos in IPL history to take away two points

The Wankhede witnessed one of the true exhibits where a side managed to capture the win after defying all odds in 2012.

The match saw Chennai Super Kings notch up 173 in their 20 overs. 3 wickets apiece from RP Singh and Lasith Malinga proved to be the only respite for the Mumbai Indians bowling department.

The chase did not begin on the perfect note for the home side, after losing makeshift opener James Frankin, for just 1. However, things looked positive for Mumbai after rebuilding the innings through a magnificent 126 run stand for the second wicket between Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma. The roller-coaster of a game took yet another twist after the sudden dismissals.

The final equation meant Mumbai needed 14 off 3 balls to win the encounter. What happened next is truly a moment for the ages, after Dwayne Smith managed to whip Ben Hilfenhaus straight down the ground, three times in a row to take Mumbai home, in the greatest fixture between the two sides.

Result: Mumbai Indians beat Chennai Super Kings by 2 wickets
