IChennai Super Kings did not have any hiccups in their quest for a semi-final berth, beating Hyderabad Deccan Chargers by a solid seven-wicket margin. The will ended Mumbai Indians' faint hopes of making the knockout stage.Earlier, Hyderabad did not get the start they were looking for as they lost Herschelle Gibbs pretty early, and then skipper Adam Gilchrist fell, and their assault threatened to peter out undramatically. That will bring the net run-rate into play.

But they found a good pair in Venugopal Rao, who has come to his own as a batsman, and Ravi Teja, as they put up 76 runs with Hyderabad struggling at 57-3.

Venugopal Rao finished with a fine 46, while Teja scored 40.

But both fell in the 19th over, along with Arjun Yadav, and that surely dented their final total.

Earlier, Hyderabad captain Adam Gilchrist won the toss decided and, once again, decided to bat. Hyderabad were hamstrung by the absence of Rohit SharmaHyderabad, on the other hand, have precious little to play for apart from pride, and possibly the desire to post at least one win on their home turf. They have an abysmal home record and surely their franchisees too will be desperate fro some good news
