Chahar to Shaw, OUT, Prithvi pulls, but misses, and he's struck on the thigh. It looks high, the umpire's call is not out, but they ask for a review. He's not the tallest, though, and the ball wasn't climbing too much. But it's three reds, and the decision is over-turned! Excellent review there
PP Shaw lbw b Chahar 5 (6b 1x4 0x6) SR: 83.33
END OF OVER:3 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | DC: 25/1 | RR: 8.33

Harbhajan Singh to Dhawan, OUT, Dhoni juggles, but holds it at the second attempt! Dhawan tried to manufacture a glide to third man, but the ball just bounced a little more than he expected. The bounce also took Dhoni by surprise, but he manages to cling on to a juggling effort
S Dhawan c Dhoni b Harbhajan Singh 18 (14b 3x4 0x6) SR: 128.57
END OF OVER:6 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | DC: 41/2 | RR: 6.83

W
Jadeja to Munro, OUT, swept straight into his lap! Munro wants to slog sweep this into the stands, but he can't get the distance in the shot, and Bravo barely has to move at deep square leg

Imran Tahir to Iyer, OUT, big swing across the line, and a big miscue. Looked like the googly out of the hand, quite a bit of flight on it, and Iyer went for the front-foot hoick over square leg. It was the googly, but it didn't turn as much as expected, just bounced a little extra, and the top-edge swirls high in the air before Raina settles under it at backward point
SS Iyer c Raina b Imran Tahir 13 (18b 1x4 0x6) SR: 72.22
Delhi Capitals 77/4 * (11.5/20 ov)

Bravo to Patel, OUT, short, angling across the left-hander, getting up to about shoulder height, and Axar leans back for the ramp. Unfortunately for him, third man is back on the boundary, and all he does is hit it straight down his throat
AR Patel c Imran Tahir b Bravo 3 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Harbhajan Singh to Rutherford, OUT, gone. Length ball wide of off stump and Rutherford aims over the covers again, not full enough for it and it grips and turns. Slices off the outside half of the bat into short third man's hands
SE Rutherford c Watson b Harbhajan Singh 10 (12b 0x4 1x6) SR: 83.33
END OF OVER:16 | 9 Runs 1 Wkt | DC: 102/6 | RR: 6.37

Harbhajan Singh 4-0-31-2
DJ Bravo 3-0-16-1
What an over from Bravo, just two singles and a wide off it. He's not been consistently at his best this season, but that over was six really hard-to-hit balls, strung together so it wasn't easy for the batsman to predict what he'd bowl and line him up. Here's Deepak Chahar to bowl the 19th. Over the wicket to Pant.
DJ Bravo is the best "death bowler"inna de werl.
Dis yasso ah big man ting Paul.

Chahar to Pant, OUT, got him. Sticks to that line outside off, bowling the cutter into the pitch and making Pant fetch it against the angle. Goes for the big one this time, and can't get it far enough to the left of long-on

Jadeja to Boult, OUT, similar line and length, but this time it's slower and slightly shorter. Boult swings too early, a little across it, and misses, and loses his leg stump

In reply to ray
Paul with a catch...du Plessis out for a half-century.
Wow, that's an expensive Keemo!
In reply to Drapsey
putting it mildly
In reply to ray almost.
In reply to natty_foreverI think Rabada too was missed badly and to a lesser degree Lamichane.

Boult to du Plessis, OUT, short on leg stump, and there's the breakthrough. Was a little cramped for room while looking to pull this, and he can't quite get the power on it to clear the boundary. Keemo Paul catches it diving to his right at deep square leg
F du Plessis c Paul b Boult 50 (52m 39b 7x4 1x6) SR: 128.20

Mishra to Watson, OUT, down the track comes Watson, and this time he's found the fielder. Mishra straightened his line, bowled it at middle and leg to cramp Watson slightly, and his lofted inside-out drive doesn't carry as far as he wanted
SR Watson c Boult b Mishra 50 (63m 32b 3x4 4x6) SR: 156.25

Patel to Raina, OUT, bowled him. There's already been one thick inside-edge in this over, and now he drags one onto his stumps. This was perhaps a touch too close to cut, and he goes at it with an angled bat and chops it on
SK Raina b Patel 11 (22m 13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 84.61
END OF OVER:16 | 8 Runs 1 Wkt | CSK: 127/3 (21 runs required from 24 balls, RR: 7.93, RRR: 5.25)

Sharma to Dhoni, OUT, short outside off, and Dhoni's pulled it straight to the man on the boundary! Keemo Paul hardly had to move there, at deep square leg. CSK will have to wait just a little longer
MS Dhoni c Paul b Sharma 9 (14m 9b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
Dwayne Bravo's on strike now.

Sharma to Bravo, 4 leg byes, there it is, CSK are through to their eighth IPL final. Another bouncer, angling into the left ribcage. Steps across and fends at it, gets just enough on it to beat Pant throwing himself to his left behind the wicket
Prolly vs Bravo again in an IPL final
