Leading the Chennai Super Kings attack from the front, Dhoni made 37, hammering four boundaries and a huge six, while Raina blasted five boundaries and two sixes to enable the vistors win the crucial match with four balls to spare. Raina, architect of today’s win won the Man of the Match Award as also the Maximum Sixers award. J A Morkel(12) remained unbeaten, hitting one four, facing 12 balls.
