Super Kings set Mumbai 169-run target in IPL final
April 26th, 2010 - 12:03 am ICT by IANSMumbai, April 25 (IANS) Suresh Raina smashed an unbeaten 57 as Chennai Super Kings scored 168 for five against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League final at the D.Y. Patil Stadium at Navi Mumbai Sunday.
Raina rode on his luck as he was dropped twice in his 35-ball innings that included three fours and three sixes.
Super Kings got off to a slow start after electing to bat with Murali Vijay (26) and Matthew Hayden (17) sharing a 44-run opening stand in as many balls.
Raina and Subramaniam Badrinath (14) added 19 runs before the latter was dismissed by Dilahara Fernando (2-23).
Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (22 off 15 balls) then added 72 runs for the fourth wicket. Dhoni struck two fours and one six but was caught by Fernando after mishitting a full toss from Zaheer Khan.
Raina then used the long handle in the end with the final five overs fetching Super Kings 60 runs.
