Match 8 of the Oppo CLT20 2014 will feature the hugely popular Chennai Super Kings pitted against the Dolphins, winners of the Ram Slam T20 Challenge in South Africa. Both teams lost their respective opening fixtures and will be keen to get in the mix.
The Dolphins almost had their match against the Perth Scorchers in the kitty, before Mitchell Marsh’s twin blows snatched it away from their clutches right at the finish line.
The tale of Chennai Super Kings’ opening match was pretty match a case of an opportunity let slip. In the opening game of the season, CSK posted 157 runs on the board and had the IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders reeling at 51 for 5. One more wicket at that point and it could well have been CSK’s match pretty quickly. That wasn’t to be as Andre Russell and Ryan ten Doeschate collaborated and stitched together an 80-run partnership that turned the match on its head. In the final analysis, KKR emerged run-away victors, winning with an over to spare.
