The 12th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) saw the Mumbai Indians (MI) take on the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday, April 8.

MS Dhoni won the toss for CSK and opted to bowl first while naming four changes to the playing XI. MI were also without their ace speedster Jofra Archer due to injury.

Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan guided MI to a rapid start in the powerplay. However, everything went haywire for the hosts once the spinners came into the attack. Ravindra Jadeja and Mitchell Santner bowled tight spells to disintegrate the MI batting unit.

Small contributions from batters and a cameo by Hrithik Shokeen took MI to a respectable total of 157/8 in their 20 overs.

CSK also received an early blow after Devon Conway departed for a duck. However, the rest of the run chase was as comfortable as it gets. Ajinkya Rahane laid out the platform by an explosive innings while Ruturaj Gaikwad played the anchor role and stood tall till the end.

The visitors wrapped up the chase with 11 balls to spare and secured their second consecutive win.
