Chennai Super Kings' top order failed against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede. None of the top 6 batsmen in the Chennai Super Kings lineup scored more than 25 runs. They kept losing wickets on a consistent basis and never got into the chase. They were 84 for 6 at the end of the 13th over.

Ambati Rayudu showed promise with some sublime cover drives but fell to the leg-spinner Mayank Markande. Shane Watson was deceived by Hardik Pandya's knuckleball while Raina and MS Dhoni went cheaply. Kedar Jadhav left the field with an injured hamstring.
