A fine finish for Chennai and Michael Hussey is elated. 33-run win for Chennai, an emphatic start to the tournament. Punjab did their bit early on but James Hopes' dismissal started a decline. Sangakkara fought hard but eventually it was Hussey's sensational innings that won the day.

Thanks for joining us. Don't go away anywhere because the Rajasthan Royals have decided to bat first in their clash against the Delhi Daredevils. Switch screens and follow that game live.

From me Siddhartha Vaidyanathan, good night and good luck.

Joginder Sharma to Katich, 1 run, dug out towards the off side for a single, good yorker

Joginder Sharma to Katich, SIX, in the slot and that's smouldered over midwicket for a big six, Katich plonks his foot forward and swings hard, fine shot but a case of too little, too late

Joginder Sharma to Katich, 1 run, full and outside off, carved away towards deep point for a single

43 off 6 balls. Take your pick. Gary Sobers, Ravi Shastri, Herschelle Gibbs, Yuvraj Singh ... not possible. Joginder with the final over ... who else

Muralidaran to Pathan, no run, pushed back to the bowler, fine over at this point, Murali is quite a champion

Muralidaran to Katich, 1 bye, that's a mis-stumping from Dhoni, down the ground and beaten in the flight, that should have been a regulation stumping, but Dhoni misses that, he won't mind it too much given the match situation

Irfan Pathan comes in

17.4

Muralidaran to Sangakkara, OUT, he's holed out, desperate times look for desperate measures, Sangakkara down the ground and tries to loft him over long-on but can only find the fielder, Murali gets Sanga (now that's a rare entry in the scorebook). This match is headed in only one direction. Down south towards the Bay of Bengal.

Gony to Sangakkara, 1 run, good ball again, full and outside off, quick too, Sangakkara tries to stand and deliver but can only get an inside edge to the leg side

Gony to Sangakkara, FOUR, Finall Sangakkara gets the shot he's been looking for, walks across the stumps and shovels it over fine leg for a four, he's been looking for that shot for a while now.

It's interesting how Dhoni has placed faith in Gony at this stage. Like he's done with Joginder, Yusuf Pathan and Praveen Kumar in the past

16.3

Gony to Katich, 1 run, low full toss, this is fine bowling, scooped away to square leg for a single

Gony to Sangakkara, 1 run, yorker length and straight, driven down the ground to long-on, the game's slipping away now, fireworks needed and now
16.1

Gony to Katich, 1 leg bye, too far down leg side, Katich moves across and tries to get the area over fine leg, struck on the pads

65 needed in 24. Even two a ball isn't enough. Gony returns. What a moment to come back on in your first Twenty20 match. And he's a local lad who's playing for Chennai.
