| 5.3 : 5.3: Navdeep Saini to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Uses the room there and fetches another boundary. Gaikwad is catching up with Faf now. This is a back of a length ball, around off, Ruturaj Gaikwad moves to the leg side and then crashes this one through point. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Navdeep Saini to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Oh, my word! That was glorious! Made it look so easy but playing a cover drive is never easy. This is a good length ball, outside off, Ruturaj Gaikwad leans into the stroke and pushes this one with finesse through covers. Chennai are at 51/0 at the end of the Powerplay! |
| 6.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Ruturaj Gaikwad, SIX! That was struck powerfully and has gone quite a distance. It was a good over so far, but Ruturaj spoils the over for Chahal. The spinner tosses this one up and lands it around off and middle, Ruturaj Gaikwad gets on his knees and powers this one over long on. 9 off the over. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Harshal Patel to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Sundar is the culprit and he lets the ball through. Should have done better here. A length ball, width offered outside off, Faf du Plessis lifts this one over the point region and Washington Sundar races across to his left. He tumbles and half stops the ball, but the ball trickles through to the ropes. |
| 9.1 : 9.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! CAUGHT! Bangalore really needed a wicket and it is Chahal who provides the breakthrough for Kohli's boys! Is not having the best season so far but he does what was necessary here. This is bowled very nicely. It is slower through the air and he lands it around off and middle, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who has been timing his shots in a fine manner so far, gets on his knees and looks to slog sweep. Does not time it well and Kyle Jamieson has an easy take at |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Yuzvendra Chahal to Suresh Raina, SIX! WHAM! That is what happens when you do not take the chance to send Raina back to the shed! Loopy and around off, Suresh Raina skips down the track and sends the ball sailing over the long on fence. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Dan Christian to Suresh Raina, FOUR! Heaved away nicely by Raina! He has started off well here! Good length ball on middle, Raina heaves it to the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Washington Sundar to Suresh Raina, SIX! That went a long way in the air but enough to go over the fence! Loopy ball on middle, Raina dances down the track and lifts it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. |

| 13.4 : 13.4: Harshal Patel to Suresh Raina, OUT! CAUGHT AT DEEP MID-WICKET! Excellent bowling from Harshal Patel and the leading wicket-taker of the tournament has provided the important breakthrough! He continues to have a good tournament. Slower ball on middle, Raina looks to smack it over deep mid-wicket but has not timed it well. It goes towards deep mid-wicket where Padikkal takes the catch. End of the cameo from Raina. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Harshal Patel to Faf du Plessis, OUT! CAUGHT AT LONG ON! Harshal Patel strikes again! 50 and out for Faf du Plessis and Chennai are stuttering a little now. Good catch as well from Dan Christian! Short ball around off, Faf du Plessis hammers it to long on. Christian comes running across and takes a very good catch. Patel is on a Hat-Trick. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Washington Sundar to Ambati Rayudu, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Two mistakes in a row! This is just what Bangalore don't need after putting pressure on them in the last over. Tossed up on middle, Rayudu sweeps it to deep square leg where Padikkal misfields, allowing it to go to the fence. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Kyle Jamieson to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! A very smart shot by Jadeja. Sees that the man is up inside the circle and just beats the man at mid off. This is a slower full length ball around off, Ravindra Jadeja lofts this one over mid off and gets a boundary. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Kyle Jamieson to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Another poor delivery and Kyle is punished! A length ball, on the pads, Ravindra Jadeja just flicks this one past the man at short fine leg and the ball runs away to the ropes. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Kyle Jamieson to Ambati Rayudu, SIX! THAT WAS BIG! You will only find the ball at Marine Drive now! This is on a good length and around off, Ambati Rayudu puts on his dancing shoes and skips down the track. Bangs this one all the way over wide long on. 17 off the over. A big one for the Men in Yellow! |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Harshal Patel to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! TAKEN! Rayudu had been searching for the boundary but only manages to find the fielder there. Patel gets his third wicket of the game and he is having some fun out in the middle. A shortish slower ball on middle and leg, Ambati Rayudu moves inside and looks to pull this one. He does so, but only cleanly. The ball goes to the right of the deep square leg fielder, where Kyle Jamieson makes no mistake. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Mohammed Siraj to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Edgy but it will not matter for Chennai! They just want the boundaries at this stage. A short ball, around off, Ravindra Jadeja looks to pull but only manages a top edge. The ball flies over the keeper and into the ropes at third man. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Harshal Patel to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! Another one! Wonderful striking. 12 runs off the first 2 balls. A length ball, in the slot, around off, Jadeja spanks this one over the deep mid-wicket fence again. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Harshal Patel to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! Jadeja anticipated this one and got the desired result. Jadeja is too good a player to miss out on this. A slower off cutter around off, Ravindra Jadeja whacks this one over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Harshal Patel to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX AND NO BALL! This is turning out to be a massive over in the game! Patel bowls a waist high full toss outside off, Ravindra Jadeja connects well and sends the ball sailing over the deep mid-wicket fence yet again! Free Hit coming up... |
| 19.3: Harshal Patel to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! FOUR SIXES IN A ROW! Jadeja has decided to take matters into his own hands and he is doing it in style! A shortish length ball outside off, Ravindra Jadeja waits for it and then dumps this one over the deep mid-wicket fence. He is loving that area, by the looks of things. Also, gets his fifty here. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Harshal Patel to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! FIFTH ONE IN THE OVER! Jadeja is on fire here. Patel has been so good so far, but he has been handed a lesson by Jadeja! A full toss around off, Ravindra Jadeja smokes this one over the wide long on fence. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Harshal Patel to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! A boundary to end and Chennai collect 37 runs from the final over. No no, do not rub your eyes. You read it right. 37 RUNS FROM THE LAST OVER. This is a length ball, on middle and leg, Ravindra Jadeja whips this one ferociously through square leg and gets a boundary. CHENNAI FINISH ON 191/4! |

| 0.4 : 0.4: Deepak Chahar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Bang! Padikkal is in good form and he needs to play well here too. Full ball on off, Padikkal whacks it to the long off region for a boundary. |

| 2.2 : 2.2: Deepak Chahar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Bravo cannot get there! Good length ball on off, Padikkal dances down the track and powers it over mid off. Bravo chases after it but does not get there and it goes into the fence for a boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Deepak Chahar to Devdutt Padikkal, FOUR! Elegant batting from Padikkal! He has started off like a train. Short ball on the pads, Padikkal flays it past the short fine leg fielder for a boundary. 16 off this over. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Sam Curran to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kohli falls cheaply! Bangalore were off to a good start but Kohli goes. Chennai will be happy to see the back of Virat Kohli. Good length ball outside off, Kohli looks to cut but the ball bounces slightly more, which takes the outside edge of Kohli's bat and goes to Dhoni, who makes no mistake. |
| 4.1: Shardul Thakur to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Poor start to the over from Shardul Thakur! Good length ball on the pads, Sundar flicks it to the fine leg region for a boundary. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Shardul Thakur to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT AT SQUARE LEG! Padikkal's innings is over! He played very well while it lasted but he needed to continue. Short ball on the pads, Padikkal pulls but does not get the elevation on it. It goes straight to square leg where Raina takes the simplest of catches. 138 needed in 90 balls. |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Sam Curran to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Good start by Maxwell and he starts off with a boundary. This is fuller, outside off, slightly slower as Glenn Maxwell places this one through backward point. A boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Sam Curran to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Maxwell and he has started off in fine fashion! This is a length delivery, around off, Glenn Maxwell punches this one through cover-point and the ball runs away to the ropes. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Washington Sundar, OUT! TAKEN! Sundar's uncomfortable stay out in the middle comes to an end. He looked to be aggressive but he loses his wicket in the process. This is tossed up and he lands it around off, Washington Sundar skips down the track and slams this one towards the deep mid-wicket region. He gets the required elevation on this, but not the distance. Ruturaj Gaikwad settles under this one and takes the skier safely. 127 more needed in 82 balls. |
| 8.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! The timing on this one was perfection. This is dragged shorter and around off, Maxwell goes back in his crease and cracks this one past the man at covers, and into the ropes in the deep. |
| 8.5 : 8.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TIMBER! Maxwell goes back now and Chennai are doing really well to take wickets at regular intervals. Bangalore are on the back foot here as they lose another wicket. It is also the big wicket of Maxwell and he would have wanted to stay out there for as long as he could. Bowls a full and floated ball on middle and leg, Glenn Maxwell goes on his knees and looks to slog this one to the leg side but he misses as the ball skids through slightly. Goes ont |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Imran Tahir to AB de Villiers, OUT! RUN OUT! Jadeja can do nothing wrong as he makes another impact in the game. Flighted on off, de Villiers pushes this one to the cover region and takes off for the single. Ravindra Jadeja takes the ball and has a shy at the striker's end and guess what? He hits bull's eye. Replays roll in and Dan Christian is short here! |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Ravindra Jadeja to AB de Villiers, OUT! TIMBER! Jadeja is making a mockery of this game. It seems like it is Jadeja vs Bangalore here, and not Chennai. He did it with the bat, and now he is doing it with the ball and out on the field. This is slightly shorter and lands on leg, AB de Villiers makes room and looks to work this one to the off side. But he misses. The ball spins back in and rattles the furniture behind. The run chase has been completely turned on its head by Chennai. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Imran Tahir to Kyle Jamieson, EDGED AND FOUR! Floated ball on off, Jamieson looks to defend but it goes off the outside edge and it flies to the third man region for a boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Imran Tahir to Harshal Patel, OUT! TIMBER! Tahir is off running as he gets a wicket. Short and on middle, Patel swivels and looks to pull but misses but Tahir does not as the ball goes onto rattle the timber behind. |
| 13.1 : 13.1: Imran Tahir to Navdeep Saini, OUT! CAUGHT AT FIRST SLIP! Tahir gets another and it is a very good catch at first slip. It has been a complete bowling performance from Chennai. Flatter ball around off, Saini looks to punch it off the back foot but gets an outside which is taken by Raina at first slip. Very good catch. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Dwayne Bravo to Kyle Jamieson, SIX! This could have been another wicket but the sub fielder, Mitchell Santner stands on the ropes, as he took it and so it will be a biggie. A length ball, outside off, Kyle Jamieson slams this one to the long on region, where Santner hops and takes the catch, but lands on the boundary ropes. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Dwayne Bravo to Kyle Jamieson, OUT! RUN OUT! Jamieson goes back now and Bangalore are 9 wickets down. A length ball, around off, Kyle Jamieson looks to push this one through the off side, but the ball takes the inside edge and goes towards square leg, where Imran Tahir collects the ball. He takes aim as the batters wanted one and hits bull's eye at the striker's end. The third umpire confirms that this is out. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Dwayne Bravo to Mohammed Siraj, SIX! That came out of nowhere, for Siraj! A slower length ball on middle, this time, Mohammed Siraj connects bat with ball nicely and the ball sails all the way over the deep mid-wicket region. |
