Rahul Chahar to Ambati Rayudu
SIX! A stunning way to bring up the half century and this could prove to be the decisive knock. Poor bowling though from Rahul Chahar. Drops it short again, down the leg side. Rayudu shuffles a bit and lifts it all the way over deep backward square leg for a biggie.

Rahul Chahar to Ravindra Jadeja
Around off, Jadeja with a gentle push towards extra cover and they go for the single. Mayank Agarwal has a shy at the bowler's end but Rahul Chahar is unable to collect the throw. The batters get an overthrow as well.

Rahul Chahar to Ravindra Jadeja
NOT OUT! This is floated up from Rahul Chahar around leg stump. Ravindra Jadeja looks to sweep it away but misses. The ball comes off the pads and goes towards backward point. There is an appeal from the bowler but the umpire shakes his head and it looks to have pitched outside the leg stump. Mayank Agarwal does go for the review. There's no bat involved and Ball Tracking confirms that the ball is indeed pitching well outside the leg stump. Just the leg bye then.

Sandeep Sharma to Ravindra Jadeja
Swing and a miss! Back of a length, outside off, Jadeja bends his back knee and tries to slog it across the line but misses.

Sandeep Sharma to Ravindra Jadeja
Superb stop by Shikhar Dhawan! Top effort. Identical to the last delivery, this time Jadeja shuffles across and wheels his bat firmly at it. The ball speeds off the inner edge and Shikhar Dhawan dives at backward square leg to save a certain boundary. Just a single.

Sandeep Sharma to Ambati Rayudu
SIX! Up and over the wide long on fence! Rayudu is the man for Chennai! Sharma serves a friendly full toss around leg, Ambati Rayudu clears his front leg and dispatches it into the stands.

Sandeep Sharma to Ambati Rayudu
SIX! This is abysmal bowling from Sandeep Sharma. Again he bowls a full toss down the leg side, easy pickings for Ambati Rayudu. He just turns inside the crease, picks it up off his pads and dumps it behind square leg. 57 needed off 26 balls.

Sandeep Sharma to Ambati Rayudu
SIX! A hat-trick of biggies and Chennai have roared back into this game! Sandeep switches to over the wicket but bowls it short and around off. Ambati Rayudu steps back to make room and slashes it over backward point for a maximum. 51 needed off 25 balls and Mayank Agarwal is asking his bowler to take his time.

Sandeep Sharma to Ambati Rayudu
FOUR! What an over for Chennai! Back of a length, around middle, Rayudu takes a step down the track and powers his pull shot over mid-wicket for a boundary. 23 from the over and this could be the turning point of this chase!

Arshdeep Singh shows good control and maturity. Fires it full and across the right-hander, outside off, Rayudu swishes and misses.

Arshdeep Singh to Ambati Rayudu
Really good bowling. Arshdeep is operating as per his field. A low full toss outside off, Ambati opens the face of his bat and guides it down to deep backward point for one. Can Arshdeep Singh close the over well?
16.6

Arshdeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja
Delivers it full and around middle, Jadeja strokes it down the ground and the long off fielder mops it up. They take a couple. Fantastic over by Arshdeep, just 6 runs off it. 41 needed off 18 balls.

Kagiso Rabada to Ambati Rayudu
Play and a miss! Clever deception from Kagiso Rabada. He takes the pace off this short delivery, around off, Ambati Rayudu is deceived and misses the ball.

Kagiso Rabada to Ambati Rayudu
OUT! STUMPS SHATTERED! Kagiso Rabada removes the danger man. The South African speedster brings all his experience into play. Bowled a slower bumper and follows it up with a toe-crushing yorker around leg at 137.3 kph. Ambati Rayudu tries to whip it across the line but misses. It smashes his pads and deflects onto the stumps. End of a wonderful knock from Rayudu but it's a big blow at this stage for Chennai. 35 needed off 13 balls.

Kagiso Rabada to MS Dhoni
Spicy bowling! Kagiso Rabada has his tail up. Digs it in short, around off at 136.4 kph, MS Dhoni drops his wrists and allows it through. A couple of great overs from Punjab here and they have gained the upper hand.

Arshdeep Singh to MS Dhoni
Just short! A wide yorker outside off, MS throws his bat at it and his bottom hand comes off the handle. It flies behind backward point and Rabada perhaps lost it in the lights. He lets it bounce in front of him and then collects the ball. A single is taken.

Rishi Dhawan to MS Dhoni
OUT! DHONI HOLES OUT! Rishi Dhawan has hit the jackpot with a very poor delivery. Full and down the leg side, Dhoni tries to smash it over square leg but it takes the bottom of the bat and flies to deep mid-wicket. Jonny Bairstow takes the catch and he is the most unpopular man at the Wankhede currently. This game is done and dusted now.

Rishi Dhawan to Ravindra Jadeja
PUNJAB WIN BY 11 RUNS! Rishi delivers it very full and around off, Jadeja drives it all along the ground to long off for a run. That's it, what an over under pressure from Rishi Dhawan.
