Samson, Hosein star as Chennai hammer Mumbai by 103 runs in IPL
Opener Sanju Samson struck his second IPL century of the season to set up a thumping 103-run win for Chennai Super Kings in a battle of heavyweights against Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
Put in to bat first, five-time champions Chennai rode on Samson's unbeaten 101 off 54 balls to post 207-6 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.
Chennai's West Indies spinner Akeal Hosein then returned impressive figures of 4-17 to bundle out Mumbai, who have also won the IPL five times, for 104 in 19 overs.
The colossal winning margin boosted Chennai's net run-rate and took them to fifth spot in the 10-team table. Mumbai slipped to eighth with five defeats from seven outings.
Chennai started their innings briskly, courtesy of skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad's 14-ball 22 before he fell to Afghanistan spinner A.M. Ghazanfar in the third over.
Samson then teed off with three fours and one six off Mumbai skipper Hardik Pandya but kept losing partners at the other end, including Dewald Brevis for 21.
Undeterred, the 31-year-old took on the opposition attack, hitting 10 fours and six maximums across his well-crafted knock.
Mumbai bowlers struck regular blows as Ghazanfar and left-arm quick Ashwani Kumar took two wickets each before Samson's final assault took Chennai past 200.
Samson reached his fifth hundred in the T20 tournament with a four on the final ball of the innings and raised his bat to acknowledge the applause from the fans and the dugout.
In reply, Mumbai lost three wickets, including South African Quinton de Kock for seven, in the first three overs and slipped to 11-3.
Impact substitute Hosein, a left-arm spinner, took two of the three.
Suryakumar Yadav, who made 35, and Tilak Varma attempted to rebuild in a partnership of 73 but the asking rate kept rising with some tidy bowling by Chennai.
The wily Hosein returned to break the stand as he got Varma to drag a delivery onto his stumps and out for 37.
Wickets kept tumbling as Noor Ahmad struck on successive balls to send back Pandya, for one, and Sherfane Rutherford for a duck, before Shardul Thakur avoided the hat-trick.
Hosein dismissed Suryakumar for his fourth and, with that, the batting fizzled out.
