IPL 2024: Middle-order Batting After Fizz's Four-fer Helps CSK Beat RCB By Six Wickets
Indian Premier League: Defending champions Chennai Super Kings made a winning start in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 in their den as they rode on a superb four-fer by Mustafizur Rahman and cameos by their middle-order to beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 6 wickets with eight balls remaining in the opening match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Friday.
Mustafizur, who is called Fizz by his friends, destroyed RCB's innings with 4-29 and helped them restrict RCB to 173/6 despite a superb rearguard partnership of 95 between Anuj Rawat (48) and Dinesh Karthik (38 not out). In reply, Chennai made a poor start and lost a couple of wickets in the middle before cameos by Ajinkya Rahane (27), Daryll Mitchell (22), Shivam Dube (34 not out) and Ravindra Jadeja (25 not out) as CSK reached 176/4 in 18.4 overs, winning the match with a bit of fuel in the tank.
This was CSK's eighth successive win over RCB at the Chepauk Stadium with RCB's last win over CSK at this venue coming over a decade back.
