What a solid last over by Morris! Only four runs there! And we thought yorkers were out of fashion! Knight Riders stayed competitive in the tall chase, but with that sort of total, there are hardly any margins of error. Bisla smashed a career-best 92, but wasn't able to repeat what he did here last year. The defending champions' flight is not taking off this season and they are running out of runway very quickly. Thanks for all your comments and feedback.. Time to tune in to the next match.. Ciao ciao.
Venkat: "Good win for CSK, and a brilliant last over from Morris. But I hope they will not ignore the issues theys till have with their death bowling. That was absolute trash from Nannes and some ordinary stuff from Bravo."
Siva: "Kallis made 19 runs from 20 balls, that costs match to KKR now, it make sense it the target is around 140 to 150, but he is just not good enough for these high scoring contests."
preity: "The way Hussey is performing, I'm sure Australia is missing him a lot ... he is a better batsman than almost everybody in Aussie squad"
Sasi: "CSK has made this a habit. When batting second, take the match to last over and win it. When bowling second, take the match to last over and win it. Need to have a strong heart if you are a CSK fan. "
