Mustafizur Rahman was named Player of the Match.

A strong death-overs burst of 71/1 got them past 170, but Chennai's reply was controlled from the first over. The home side's powerplay of 62/1 was the platform the match turned on.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Powerplay run lines may warrant attention at Chepauk; CSK's 62/1 in the powerplay was well above the venue average of 43 runs, suggesting top-of-innings markets can be volatile here.
- Chepauk's chase success rate of 46% across 127 matches makes toss decisions commercially significant; sides batting first win slightly more often, which can influence pre-toss markets.
- In fixtures where both sides have strong spin options, individual wicket-taker markets may reflect the surface better than outright match result lines.
- Death-overs totals at Chepauk average 38 runs; when a match reaches the final phase with an asking rate already manageable, death-overs run markets can diverge from the venue norm, as CSK's 48/0 in this match illustrates.
