CSK Starts IPL 2012 Campaign

The defending champions Chennai Super Kings started off their IPL 2012 (IPL 5) campaign with a loss to Mumbai Indians.

While India failed during their last 10 overs of batting, South Africa held their nerves during their last 10 overs to finish the match in their favour. India's loss could be attributed to two main reasons: India's poor performance in the batting powerplay and the overs that followed: India took the powerplay in the 39th over, when they were comfortably placed at 267 for 1.
