So then, Chennai continue to dominate the IPL under the Twenty20 World Champion captain. They have won four out of four matches here and they are looking ever so dangerous. Bangalore were looking good but they lost their way once Taylor got out. Some silly running took toll on their nerves as well and they ended 13 runs short of the Chennai target. That is all we have for you for the moment. We will be back tomorrow with the match between Kolkata and Mumbai. Till then it is good bye and good night from all of us...
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the Man of the Match for his swashbuckling 65 off 30 balls which ensured that Chennai got to a challenging total.
Chennai Superkings win by 13 runs. They are still undefeated!!!
