Both play in the IPL so we had a fight going, says wicketkeeper

Though Highveld Lions’ victory over Yorkshire in the first match on Saturday ensured both Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings were out of the CLT20.

The Indian outfits played for pride in the day’s second encounter and were desperate to win, said MI wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik.
