| 1.2 : 1.2: K Pandya to du Plessis, FOUR! Up and just over short third man. Flighted and full, way wide outside off, du Plessis gets down on one knee before reaching out for this one. He throws his willow at it and it flies off the outside edge and just clears Bumrah inside the ring. It then races away to the fence. The replay shows that Bumrah got his fingertips on the ball. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: R Chahar to du Plessis, OUT! Wicket number 11 for Rahul Chahar this season. His brilliance continues. What a start for Mumbai! They have got the prized scalp of Faf du Plessis. Chahar delivers it a touch flat and full wide outside off, du Plessis tries to slap it through the line but it spins away with some extra bounce and flies straight into the hands of backward point. Anmolpreet Singh (sub) crouches and takes the catch easily. Du Plessis is disappointed as he walks back. |
| 3.1: J Yadav to S Raina, FOUR! All timing! Yadav strays on the pads of the batsman and Raina easily lofts it by rotating his wrists. It flies over square leg and finds the fence. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: J Yadav to S Raina, OUT! Caught and bowled! Raina, the man in-form, departs as well. Chennai have both their in-form batsmen back in the dugout. Massive setback. Mumbai are roaring at the moment. A terrific move by Rohit Sharma to bowl an offie with the left-hander on strike. He serves an off spinning delivery, lands it full and on middle and gets it to spin away a shade. Raina kneels to slog sweep it across the line but gets a big top edge. Yadav calls for it, runs back a bit and then take |
| 4.2 : 4.2: J Bumrah to S Watson, FOUR! Eased away! This one is drifting down the leg side and Watson works it with good timing behind square leg. The short fine leg fielder gives the chase but the ball wins the race. Last time these two sides met, Watson flicked a similar shot straight into the hands of short fine leg. But that didn't stop the Australian from going after this one. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: J Bumrah to S Watson, FOUR! Bang! Short in length and on middle, Watson stays back to get on top of the bounce and pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a boundary. There was a sweeper on the leg side but he has no chance of cutting it off. 10 from the over, the best one so far for Chennai. |
| 5.1 : 5.1: K Pandya to M Vijay, FOUR! Off the edge and understandably, Krunal is not happy. Full and outside off, Vijay looks to flick but the ball turns away, takes the leading edge and beats Jasprit Bumrah from short third man. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: K Pandya to M Vijay, FOUR! Boundaries are coming now for Chennai. A tossed up ball landing full on middle, Vijay goes down on one knee and slog sweeps it over backward square leg. It nearly carries all the way. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: K Pandya to S Watson, OUT! Watson departs and this is a massive, massive moment in the match. This is as much a wicket for the fielder as it is for the bowler. Short and around off, Watto rocks back and looks to pull, aiming to clear mid on. But he is not quite able to get enough off the bat. Jayant Yadav senses there is a chance at mid on, runs back, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a spectacular catch. Throws the ball up in the air in celebration. Mumbai are pumped up and they are all |
| 6.6: R Chahar to M Vijay, FOUR! Poor fielding in the deep by Kieron Pollard and he is disgusted with himself. Too full in length and outside off, Vijay goes hard at it and drills it over covers. Pollard runs across to his left to stop the ball but fails to do so cleanly as it ends up touching the rope. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: L Malinga to A Rayudu, FOUR! Once again the Free Hit has gone for a boundary. Raina put it away earlier wristily and Rayudu has done exactly the same. Malinga strays on the pads and Ambati deflects it neatly down to fine leg. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: R Chahar to M Vijay, OUT! Wow, a delightful delivery from Rahul Chahar! Murali Vijay is stumped out and the brief 33-run resistance is broken. The leggie gives his delivery plenty of flight and lands it around leg. Seeing the line, Murali walks forward to play the flick shot but it turns viciously after that to beat the outside edge of his bat. Quinton de Kock does the rest and Rahul continues to impress. Despite of a wicket falling, there is a huge cheer from the crowd, reason? Well, of c |
| 13.2 : 13.2: J Yadav to MS Dhoni, SIX! This is the way to tackle spin on a turning pitch. Use your feet. MS Dhoni wears his skates to shimmy down the track, doesn't allow the ball to spin too much and launches it over the bowler's head for a biggie. The long on fielder stands there and watches it sail over. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: J Yadav to A Rayudu, SIX! Is this the Dhoni effect on Rayudu? 15 from the over, easily the biggest of the innings so far. Tossed up, around middle and off, Rayudu jumps down the track and swings it massively over mid-wicket! |
| 14.3 : 14.3: H Pandya to A Rayudu, FOUR! Up and over! With mid off up, Hardik bowls a length ball. Rayudu is more than happy to thump it over mid off. One bounce and into the ropes. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: J Bumrah to A Rayudu, FOUR! Rayudu moves across his stumps and Bumrah bowls it short. The Chennai batter pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary. 100 UP FOR CHENNAI! |
| 18.3 : 18.3: L Malinga to MS Dhoni, SIX! Malinga misses, Dhoni doesn't! That is a towering one. What a way to bring up the 50-run stand. Just inches short of a yorker and that is enough for the skipper. This is around middle and off and Dhoni smashes this over long on. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: L Malinga to MS Dhoni, SIX MORE! Malinga misses his yorker again, goes full again, gets smashed again! This is around off, Dhoni gets underneath it nicely and hammers it over long on. Much straighter than the previous one. |
| 1.2 : 1.2: K Pandya to du Plessis, FOUR! Up and just over short third man. Flighted and full, way wide outside off, du Plessis gets down on one knee before reaching out for this one. He throws his willow at it and it flies off the outside edge and just clears Bumrah inside the ring. It then races away to the fence. The replay shows that Bumrah got his fingertips on the ball. |

| 0.1 : 0.1: D Chahar to R Sharma, FOUR! This is how you begin your chase! A perfectly timed back foot punch from the bat of skipper Rohit Sharma. Back of a length delivery outside off, Sharma gets off the mark with a thumping shot through the line. Right in the gap at covers and away she runs to the fence. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: D Chahar to R Sharma, OUT! It's hitting the top of the leg stump and Rohit Sharma has to depart. He averages around 14 in the playoffs and bags yet another low score. Perfect delivery by Chahar after conceding a boundary first ball. He hits a length ball around leg and gets it to straighten from there. Sharma is caught inside the crease trying to work it on the leg side. He misses the ball completely and is hit flush on the back pad. The appeal is made and the finger goes up. Rohit takes th |
| 0.6 : 0.6: D Chahar to S Yadav, UPPISH... SAFE... FOUR! Risky way to get off the mark, SKY! Chahar delivers a shortish length ball outside off, Yadav camps back to slap it square of the wicket on the off side but it takes the outside edge and flies wide of first slip and a diving short third man fielder for a boundary. End of an eventful first over by Chahar. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: H Singh to de Kock, FOUR! Well played! Although it was a shade risky. Shortish and on off, skidding back in, de Kock camps back and plays a late cut shot. It goes very closely past first slip and runs away to the fence at third man. |
| 2.4: D Chahar to de Kock, FOUR! Lovely use of the wrists. Chahar bowls according to his field but it's the sheer class of this batsman. Quinton fetches a length ball from outside off and turns it behind square leg for a boundary. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: H Singh to de Kock, OUT! A wicket well planned by Harbhajan Singh! Brilliant field setting from MS Dhoni. So good when the plan works out superbly. Bhajji has his arms up in celebration. Even before the ball is delivered, de Kock premeditates his movement by moving back. Harbhajan watches it and then delivers a flighted full ball in the line of the stumps. Quinton thinks he has outfoxed the bowler there as he gets enough room to play his favoured inside-out shot. But what the South African |
| 4.2: D Chahar to S Yadav, FOUR! Easily done. Chahar errs in his line and delivers a length ball down the leg side, Suryakumar picks it up off his pads and tickles it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: D Chahar to S Yadav, DROPPED BY VIJAY! FOUR! A good attempt though. Should have been taken after he got his hands to it. Back of a length delivery outside off, Suryakumar stays back to power it over the infield on the leg side but fails to get enough elevation. It goes flying to the right of mid on where Vijay stretches his hands out but it bursts through and races behind for a boundary. Chahar is not amused. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: H Singh to I Kishan, EDGY FOUR! Flighted off spinner landing full on off Kishan steps out for a big shot but it turns away to take a fat outside edge. Watson flies to his left at first slip but it goes wide of him and speeds behind. Bravo gives the chase in the deep, tries to flick it in but misses and it makes connection with the rope. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: H Singh to I Kishan, SIX! Boom! Kishan has sent this one packing over mid-wicket. Lovely extension of his arms as he kneels down to play that shot. He goes against the spin but nails it handsomely. 22 from the last two overs and Mumbai have managed to score 44 in the Powerplay, 12 more than Chennai at this stage. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: D Bravo to S Yadav, FOUR! FANTASTIC! Such good timing. A length ball, outside off, Surya drives this on the up, through the covers. Deepak Chahar dives to his left from mid off but in vain. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: I Tahir to S Yadav, FOUR! Easy pickings! A full toss on middle, Suryakumar accepts the gift gleefully and whips it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: I Tahir to S Yadav, FOUR! Wow, every batsman is mastering this shot now where you swing the bat more like a helicopter. Tahir is very full with his length and it's right in the half for the batsman yet again. SKY shows his skill and bludgeons it through wide mid on. Vijay tries his best by running across to his right from long on, slides but the ball goes past him. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: R Jadeja to S Yadav, FOUR! Smartly played! Quicker and flatter one, a touch shorter too, SKY stays back and plays it really late to get it away from first slip. Nice timing and it screams away to the fence at third man. 40 more needed. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: I Tahir to S Yadav, FOUR! 7th League fifty for Suryakumar Yadav. Floated leg spinner outside off, Yadav strides forward and then opens the face of the bat late to play it wide of backward point. A boundary results and Yadav reaches his half century. Well batted young man. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: I Tahir to I Kishan, OUT! Bowled 'em! A wicket against the run of play and Tahir is up and running in celebration. A skidder from Tahir at 95.6 kph, Kishan walks down the track and tries to pull it after that but it goes right through him and pegs the off stump back. The 80-run stand has been broken but that has put Mumbai in the driver's seat. Only 31 more needed off 37 balls. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: I Tahir to K Pandya, OUT! It is a clean catch and Tahir indeed has two in two. A full ball outside off, Krunal looked to hit it back but while doing so, the bat hit the ground and the ball lobbed off the bottom of the bat back to the bowler. Tahir collected and ran towards the umpire in an appeal who chatted with his colleague and then signalled towards the third umpire. Replays confirm that Krunal can continue walking as he had already started his trot once the umpires referred it upstair |
| 14.1 : 14.1: R Jadeja to S Yadav, DROPPED! Almost a team hat-trick for Chennai! Jadeja delivers a flatter delivery on off, Yadav leans forward to defend but it takes the outside edge and hurries behind to first slip. Watson sticks his left hand out but it brushes his fingers and speeds behind for a FOUR! |
| 15.4 : 15.4: I Tahir to H Pandya, FOUR! Exceptionally played! Floated delivery, landing full around leg, Pandya doesn't go hard at it and plays a controlled paddle sweep fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: D Chahar to S Yadav, FOUR! Cleverly done! SKY is a master of this shot. He just loves playing fancy shots behind the wickets. Back of a length ball angling into him, Yadav gets across the stumps and spoons it over the keeper for a boundary. |
| 0.1 : 0.1: D Chahar to R Sharma, FOUR! This is how you begin your chase! A perfectly timed back foot punch from the bat of skipper Rohit Sharma. Back of a length delivery outside off, Sharma gets off the mark with a thumping shot through the line. Right in the gap at covers and away she runs to the fence. |
