IPL 5: Morkel magic seals CSK a thriller


Chennai: After a series of substandard matches, the fifth season of the IPL burst to life with a high-octane humdinger between the giants of the South, Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was the most unbelievable of Twenty20 matches in which Chennai, chasing 206 to win, were left to score 42 off the final 12 balls. Albie Morkel looted 28 of those in six deliveries from a hapless Virat Kohli, and in the final over Dwayne Bravo top-edged a no-ball for four and slashed a one-handed six over third man before Ravindra Jadeja edged the last ball to third man to seal an unforgettable win. Seemingly out of the contest after MS Dhoni fell on the last ball of the 18th over, Chennai pulled off an outrageous victory that could prove a massive turning point in their quixotic 2012 campaign.
