Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein shone with a four-wicket haul as Mumbai Indians were bowled out for 104 while chasing 208, resulting in Chennai Super Kings securing a commanding 103-run win at Wankhede Stadium. Earlier, Sanju Samson’s unbeaten century propelled CSK to 207/6 despite losing wickets. Mumbai’s chase faced early setbacks with quick wickets falling to Hosein and Choudhary.
Hosein’s relentless bowling further troubled Mumbai, claiming crucial wickets including the dismissal of in-form Naman Dhir. Despite a shaky start, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma tried to stabilize the innings, but Mumbai struggled to score initially. Hosein’s pivotal wickets disrupted Mumbai’s momentum, leading to a collapse in their batting lineup.
Captain Hardik Pandya’s early dismissal and subsequent wickets falling quickly dashed Mumbai’s hopes of a comeback. Hosein’s exceptional spell of 4/17, supported by Noor Ahmad’s key contributions, sealed CSK’s dominant victory. Chennai’s strong batting display, led by Samson’s century and contributions from Gaikwad and others, set the foundation for their comprehensive win.
