Rajasthan Royals beat Chennai by 10 runs


Albie Morkel (71) and Parthiv Patel's (54) half centuries went waste as Chennai Super Kings lost the plot towards the close to suffer a 10-run defeat at the hands of Rajasthan Royals in their crucial Indian Premier League match on Saturday.After Graeme Smith (91) and Kamran Akmal (53) had led the Royals to a huge total of 211 for five, the Super Kings replied by the taking the visiting bowlers by the scruff of their neck with one down Suresh Raina doing most of the scoring.Super Kings were cruising at 157 for three at the end of 15 overs but failed to get 55 from the last five overs with seven wickets in hand to make their semi-final hopes uncertain.With 14 points from 13 matches, the MS Dhoni side will have to win their last match against Deccan Chargers on May 27 in Hyderabad to make the grade.
