Chennai v Rajasthan, game 49
Saturday, 24 May 2008 13:56
(summary only)
They don't come much more exciting than this. A superb game which saw Rajasthan choosing to bat first and setting a huge target of 211.
However, this was truly a batters' pitch so the target, although high, was easier to chase than it looks on paper. Chennai played a ballsy innings and always looked capable of reaching the target...
It went down to the last few balls but Chennai couldn't quite make it; Rajasthan took the game by 10 runs. This was a tense chase for Chennai as, without a win from this game, they are still not guaranteed a place in the semi-finals. The pressure is mounting.
