Mumbai Indians won by 26 runs and seal a spot in the final...

Lendl Simmons continued his sublime run-scoring form in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 as the West Indian cracked a pacy half-century to help Mumbai Indians amass 187/6 after they elected to bat first against Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai. The fine start helped Mumbai put up a big score and add more pressure on CSK. It eventually helped them win by 26 runs and seal a spot in the final.

Simmons found an able partner in Parthiv Patel and the opening pair, after a fairly cautious start, gave their side a strong base for blitzy finish. The West Indian looked in the mood from the beginning as he smacked Ravichandran Ashwin, Ashish Nehra and Ravindra Jadeja for sixes in quick succession.

Simmons, who notched up his fifth half-century of the competition, struck five sixes and three fours in his 51-ball innings. Along with Parthiv Patel (35), Simmons provided a solid opening stand of 90 runs at nearly 9 runs an over

Opting to bat first, MI were again given a sound start by the right-left combine of Simmons and Patel who first raised 48 by the end of six-over Powerplay. CSK used off-spinner R Ashwin to open the bowling with left arm seam bowler Ashish Nehra and had things under control in the first four overs.

However, Simmons carted Ashwin in his third over, beyond the straight field and then over the mid-wicket region for two sixes. Simmons, who has been in fine form from the time he came in as replacement for the injured Aaron Finch, then struck a third six - onto the sight screen - off Nehra in the last over of play. And when Ravindra Jadeja came to bowl the 8th over, the West Indian smacked him over long on for another six to keep the run-rate hovering around the eight-run mark.

Simmons completed his 5th half-century of the season off 38 balls studded with three fours and four sixes, in the tenth over at the end of which MI had advanced to 86 for no loss with Simmons on 51 and Patel on 32. It was upto Mumbai Indians' middle-order from there on.
