Varun Chakravarthy to MS Dhoni
OUT! BOWLED! Chakravarthy got Dhoni bowled when these two met earlier as well, and now too. 'Chakra-worthy' it reads on the big board in the stadium. Quicker and flatter on middle and leg, Dhoni rocks back and looks to play this on the leg side. He anticipated a fuller length, tossed up ball but did not anticipate the quicker one. Dhoni misses and the ball crashes into the woodwork.

Varun Chakravarthy to Sam Curran

Varun Chakravarthy to Sam Curran
Chakravarthy misses a catch there! Could have had a 3-fer. Flatter ball around off, Curran comes down and hits it hard and uppishly towards Varun. The bowler fails to hold onto that.

Sunil Narine to Sam Curran
FOUR! Just over the short mid-wicket fielder! Flatter ball on off, Curran comes down the track and lifts this just over the stretched hands of the man at short mid-wicket. The wide long on and deep mid-wicket fielders give chase. But the ball bisects them to perfection and trickles into the boundary.

Lockie Ferguson to Ruturaj Gaikwad
Short and outside off, worked towards square leg for a quick run.

Lockie Ferguson to Ruturaj Gaikwad
A couple now. A poor throw from Kamlesh though. Short and outside off, Gaikwad backs away and strokes it through cover-point. Two taken.

Lockie Ferguson to Ruturaj Gaikwad
FOUR! Swept and swept really well. He is taking on Ferguson. Good length ball just outside off, Ruturaj gets down and nails the sweep over square leg. A boundary.

Lockie Ferguson to Ruturaj Gaikwad
WIDE! Pressure on Lockie. He tries to go wide. The length is brilliant but it is a bit too wide. Wided.

Pat Cummins to Sam Curran
Direct hit and Curran would've been walking back. A full ball on middle, Sam premediates and goes for the scoop but fails to get it right. The ball hits the toe end and rolls towards the leg side. He goes for the single. Cummins quickly gets to the ball and throws at the non-striker's end but misses.

W
Pat Cummins to Ruturaj Gaikwad
OUT! TIMBER! Cummins gets the massive wicket. Such a classy knock and it ends when the batsman is playing an unorthodox shot. Good length ball on middle, Gaikwad moves inside the crease and looks to paddle it over the keeper but misses. The castle behind gets a beating. End of another top knock from Gaikwad but he would be mighty disappointed not to take the team home. 33 runs needed in 16 balls.

Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja
Play and a miss! Fullish and outside off, Jadeja drives away from his body, only to get beaten.

Full and on middle, it is drilled down to long on for just one. Just 2 off the first 4 balls.
17.5
1
Pat Cummins to Sam Curran
Only a run. Full and around off, stroked for one through mid off by Curran. Chennai need a boundary on the last ball. Cummins would like to finish it well.

Pat Cummins to Ravindra Jadeja
Cummins finishes the over well. Just a single on the last ball. Full and outside off, Jadeja can only drive it towards long off for a single. Just 4 runs and the massive wicket of well-set Gaikwad off the over. 30 needed in last 2 overs.

Lockie Ferguson to Sam Curran
DOT! Curran tries to be little too cute but he is beaten by Ferguson's pace there. Moves to the off side and tries to scoop it over the keeper but misses.

Lockie Ferguson to Sam Curran
Only a run. Terrific stuff from Ferguson. Low full toss, Curran can only push it to deep point and go to the other end.

Lockie Ferguson to Ravindra Jadeja
FOUR! Useful boundary. Very important boundary. 150 is up. Ferguson misses the yorker and ends up giving a high full toss, that too on the pads of Jadeja. He helps it through short fine leg and finds the fence.
18.5

Lockie Ferguson to Ravindra Jadeja
NO BALL! The attempted yorker goes wrong, Lockie ends up bowling it above the hip. Jadeja pulls it, rather unconvincingly, towards deep square leg. The batters take two. Free Hit coming up then!

Lockie Ferguson to Ravindra Jadeja
SIX! Bang! Jadeja makes the full use of the Free Hit. A length ball, right in the slot, Jadeja swipes it over deep square leg for a biggie.

Lockie Ferguson to Ravindra Jadeja
EDGY FOUR! But Jadeja and Chennai will take it. What an over, what an over for Chennai! 20 runs off it and now the game is right in Chennai's court. Full and wide outside off, Jadeja throws the kitchen sink at it. He gets a thick outside edge and that flies over short third man and into the third man fence. Just 10 needed in 6 balls. Super Over anyone?

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Sam Curran
DOT! Terrific from Kamlesh. Shortish and around middle, Curran looks to pull but the ball takes the inner half and goes back to the bowler.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Ravindra Jadeja
SIX! Take that, says Jadeja. Scores level. Nagarkoti misses his mark, it is in the slot for Jadeja He pumps it way over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. Nerves on both the sides now. Dot or wicket for the tie and Super Over. A single or more for Chennai's win.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti to Ravindra Jadeja
SIX! BANG! Jadeja, you star. Back-to-back sixes to seal the deal. A length ball, yes, the pressure gets big on Kamlesh. He ends up bowling one in the slot for Jadeja. He smokes it over wide long on for a biggie. Chennai win by 6 wickets.
