Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians

Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat

Mumbai Indians: Quinton de Kock(wk), Rohit Sharma(capt.), Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Jayant Yadav, Rahul Chahar, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga


Chennai Super Kings: Shane Watson, Murali Vijay, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni(capt&wk), Ambati Rayudu, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Harbhajan Singh, Deepak Chahar, Imran Tahir

Suresh Raina: I think both the teams look confident when it comes to the playoffs. It's about doing the process right and enjoy each and every other. The support staff gives us freedom. MS din't play our last game here against Mumbai.


Shiva Jayaraman: CSK are usually at a big advantage at the Chepauk when they win the toss. MS Dhoni's win-loss record when he calls it right at Chepauk is 22-5. However, Mumbai Indians have been their bogey team: the last time CSK lost under Dhoni after winning the toss here was against them, in 2015.

Chahar to du Plessis, OUT, strikes immediately! Just on a length outside off, and he looks to cut this but gets it straight to point, and it wasn't the most difficult of catches for the man stationed there. Just needed to stay low and pick up the first wicket of this innings

J Yadav to Raina, OUT, length ball, and he goes for a hoick across the line, and this ballooons in the air, and is an easy return catch for Yadav

Chahar to Vijay, OUT, ...and Chahar has Vijay stumped! Turn, turn turn. Tossed-up legbreak, starts on leg stump and screams away outside off. Vijay closes his face and aims it clip it away to the leg side. He can't touch it. Ripping turn for Chahar, it leaves Vijay overbalanced. De Kock takes the bails off. A run-a-ball 26 from Vijay - Badrinath-esque innings on a tough track

PPS: "Any dew tonight ? " --- There weren't too many towels out when Mumbai were bowling, but the way the ball skidded on later on appeared to suggest there is some

Chahar to Sharma, OUT, length ball, straightens into him, and strikes him in front of the wickets as he shapes to flick. Given out! Will they review this? Yes he does? Hits him quite high, but remember it's been given out. No edge on it, and pitches in line, and just stays with umpire's call! What a breakthrough...getting rid of the captain and a man who could have neutralised the threat of Chennai's spinners better than most others!

Harbhajan Singh to de Kock, OUT, length, and he moves away to make room for himself and go inside out, but he has scooped this straight to wide long off! The little bit of turn that takes it away from him, and he might have looked to go straighter than where it wound up. Faf du Plessis barely needed to move!

Imran Tahir to Ishan Kishan, OUT, skidder from Tahir, takes out the off stump. Tahir doesn't quite run like he often does, fairly subdued celebration. Kishan aims to pull it away to the leg side, but Tahir's quick for him

Imran Tahir to KH Pandya, OUT, Tahir appeals for caught and bowled. Umpire Llong calls for a review. The soft signal is out. Oh, Krunal is walking. Dipping full-toss on off, Krunal toe-ends it right back to Tahir. Krunal is off the field even before the TV umpire rules him out. Just like that, two in two for Tahir
