Kochi thrashes Chennai in rain hit match


Kochi Tuskers have beaten defensive champions Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets in a rain shortened match.

A solid all-round presentation by Kochi Tuskers Kerala helped the Indian Premier League debutants happily beat defending champions Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets with two overs to extra in an IPL match here on Monday.

This was their second win four matches after defeat last year's runners-up Mumbai Indians in the last match.

After reliable sprinkle for an hour curtailed the match to 17-overs-side affair, KTK bowlers limited CSK to 131 for four. 

Chasing 135 to win courtesy Duckworth-Lewis rain rule, Brendon McCullum (47, 33 balls, 4x4, 3x6), Parthiv Patel (34, 26 balls, 4x4, 1x6) batted in a high-handed fashion to set up the win.
