Chennai Super Kings are back in the game and how. MS Dhoni has kept his side in the hunt. Andrew Tye gives away 19 runs. CSK now need 17 from the last over.
OUT! Andrew Tye strikes. Ravindra Jadeja was looking to big and rightly so. But fails to make the proper connection and the ball goes high up in the air. Ravi Ashwin near mid-off settles underneath it to complete the catch. R Jadeja c Ashwin b Andrew Tye 19(13)
Good over this for Chennai Super Kings. Mohit Sharma concedes 19 runs and CSK now need 36 more runs to win from two overs. This is getting interesting now.
OUT! Sensational stuff from Ravi Ashwin. Ambati Rayudu hits the ball towards Ashwin who is at extra-cover and was looking to steal a single. MS Dhoni was not interested and sent Rayudu back. Ashwin has a direct shy at stumps and he hits them! Rayudu run out (Ashwin) 49(35)
OUT! Super review that by Ravi Ashwin. He was convinced that Sam Billings is trapped in front of the wickets. He asks for DRS straightaway. Billings misses the straight one. Billings lbw b Ashwin 9(8)
OUT! Andrew Tye strikes in his first over. Murali Vijay has to go. Slower one from Tye, Vijay was looking to clear the infield but fails to do so. He is caught near mid-off. Barinder Sran once again takes the catch. Vijay c Barinder b Andrew Tye 12(10)
OUT! Shane Watson goes early. Big wicket this for KXIP. Cleverly done by Mohit Sharma. Bowls a slower one, Watson was early onto the shot and he gets the top-edge. Barinder Sran takes an easy catch at short fine-leg. Watson c Barinder b Mohit Sharma 11(9)
Excellent bowling by Bravo. He not only picks a wicket, but gives away just four runs in the last over. KXIP will be disappointed to not have crossed the 200-run mark. At one stage, they looked all set for around 220.
Last two overs of Kings XI Punjab innings coming up. Can they cross the 200-run mark? Karun Nair is batting on 24 off 13 balls and giving him company is skipper Ravi Ashwin.
OUT! KXIP have lost another wicket here. Three in quick time now. Cross-seamed short ball from Shardul Thakur and Yuvraj Singh was looking to pull it. He gets the edge and MS Dhoni takes the catch. Yuvraj c Dhoni b SN Thakur 20(13)
OUT! Back to back first ball duck for Aaron Finch. Imran Tahir traps his leg before wicket on the first ball. Finch opts for DRS, but all in vain. Finch lbw b Tahir 0(1)
