Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batted first at 226/6 in the whirlwind innings, although it looked like Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) might struggle to challenge in the chase at first. However, a sensational third wicket from captain Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell has now put the hosts in full hands. The duo slammed the ball into various parts of the ground before Maxwell finally made 76 for 36.
