DURBAN, Oct 22: Chennai Super Kings produced a clinical all-round show as they scored a comfortable four-wicket victory over Yorkshire to sign off their Champions League Twenty20 campaign with a win here on Monday.

Opting to field, Chennai restricted Yorkshire to 140-6 on the back of impressive bowling from pacers Albie Morkel (2-12) and Doug Bollinger (2-16) and then romped home with six balls to spare in the inconsequential Group ‘B’ match at Kingsmead.

Badrinath top-scored with a 38-ball 47, which he made with the help of four boundaries while Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who played under Suresh Raina’s captaincy in the match, made 31 from 23 balls. Raina himself contributed 31 from 30 balls.

Chennai, the 2010 champions, ended third in Group ‘B’ with eight points behind Sydney Sixers and Highveld Lions, the two teams who made it to the semi-finals.

Wriddiman Saha, who kept wickets in the match as Dhoni also decided not to wear the wicketkeeper’s gloves, hit the winning run — a single — as Chennai reached 141-6 in the last ball of the 19th over.

Chasing 141 for a win, Chennai did not have the best of starts as they lost opener Faf du Plessis (1) in the second over of the bowling of Steven Patterson.

Raina and Badrinath settled down quickly and shared a 48-run stand for the third-wicket from 6.9 overs to take Chennai closer to the target.

Dhoni came in when his side were 74-3 in the 12th over and he was watchful for a while before easing himself off with a six off Adil Rashid in the 15th over.

Chennai needed 33 runs to win from the last five overs.

Badrinath departed in the 17th over and Ravindra Jadeja did not last long as he was out for five in the next over, leaving Dhoni and Morkel to finish the job.

Summarised scores:

YORKSHIRE 140-6 in 20 overs (G.S. Ballance 58, D.A. Miller 28, A.W. Gale 23; J.A. Morkel 2-12, D.E. Bollinger 2-16); CHENNAI SUPER KINGS 141-6 in 19 overs (S. Badrinath 47, S.K. Raina 31, M.S. Dhoni 31; S.A. Patterson 2-22, I. Wardlaw 2-23, O.J. Hannon-Dalby 2-23).—Agencies
