Pathirana's four-wicket haul helped CSK defeat MI by 20 runs

MS Dhoni's last-over mayhem overshadowed Rohit Sharma's 8th T20 century as CSK defeated MI by 20 runs at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday in the IPL 2024. This was CSK's first away win of the season, thanks to Matheesa Pathirana's excellent four-wicket haul. Mumbai will be upset with the defeat, having been in a strong position both with the bat and earlier with the ball.

Mathisa Pathirana had a quick impact in the eighth over, removing Ishan Kishan and then Suryakumar Yadav, which were critical breakthroughs after Rohit and Kishan had formed a strong partnership. But Pathirana's impact went beyond that, as he returned later to demolish MI's great hitters, Tim David and Romario Shepherd, denying them important boundaries in the last overs. Earlier, MS Dhoni's stunning cameo, together with an inspiring fifties from Shivam Dube and Ruturaj Gaikwad, powered CSK to a dominant total of 206 for four.
