Johannesburg: An all-round performance by Moises Henriques helped Sydney Sixers beat Chennai Super Kings by 14 runs in their Champions League T20 match in Johannesburg.
Henriques struck twice in one over to dismiss Suresh Raina and skipper MS Dhoni in quick succession to dent Super Kings' hopes of winning their opening CLT20 match.
Chasing a 186-run target, Raina (57) led the Super Kings chase in superb fashion with 8 boundaries and 2 sixes after they lost early wickets in the match.
Earlier, Subramaniam Badrinath (6) fell victim to Henriques as he failed to read a slower delivery and nicking it to keeper Brad Haddin in the process.
Raina tried to hold things together by scoring a quick fire 28-ball half century right after the Sixers gained respite by dismissing the dangerous duo of Faf du Plessis and Michael Hussey in quick succession.
Du Plessis (43) and Hussey (16) recovered when they put up a swift 61-run partnership for the second wicket after the early loss of Murali Vijay.
Vijay (1) was comprehensively bowled by Mitchell Starc and he never looked comfortable as his weakness was exploited to the fullest when Starc dismissed the opener in fabulous fashion.
Earlier, Henriques fought back for the Sydney Sixers to help them set a colossal 186-run target for Super Kings.
Henriques (49*) put up a splendid 75-run partnership along with Steven Smith for the fifth wicket, which played elementary in the Sixers setting the mammoth target.
Henriques dominated the Chennai bowlers with his swashbuckling knock that included 5 boundaries and 3 sixes and came at a time when it was needed the most.
Before that, Sixers were joggled in the middle overs when a double strike by Ravichandran Ashwin helped the Super Kings gain a little momentum.
Ashwin first dismissed the Sixers skipper Brad Haddin (20), who was sent back after Ben Hilfenhaus took a brilliant catch, and then struck to get the better of a bemused Nic Maddinson's stumps.
Previously, Australian star Shane Watson fell short of scoring a half century as he was run out in the Champions League T20 match against Chennai at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.
Watson (46) carried his superb form from the ICC World T20 as he played a gem of an innings with 4 boundaries and 2 sixes to blast the Chennai bowling attack.
His partnership with fellow opener Michael Lumb was broken when Ravindra Jadeja struck with his very first ball of the match to dismiss the southpaw.
Lumb (18) was completely deceived by Jadeja's swinger and was caught plumb in front of the wicket right after he and Watson put up an impressive 50-run partnership to get Sydney Sixers off to a decent start.
Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to bowl against Sydney Sixers.
