What a start for CSK! At one stage they were out of the contest. Dwayne Bravo played positively and kept his side in the hunt. Later, injured Kedar Jadhav gave the finishing touch as he smashed Mustafizur for a six and a four.  

07 Apr, 23:48 (IST)

Four! That's it! Chennai Super Kings win by one wicket! Kedar Jadhav smashes Mustafizur Rahman for a four. The field was up, they were looking to stop the single, but Jadhav hits it in the gap to win it for CSK.

07 Apr, 23:46 (IST)

SIX!!! What a shot by Kedar Jadhav, Remember he is injured and can't run. After three dots balls he hits a six. CSK need one run off two balls.

07 Apr, 23:44 (IST)

Kedar Jadhav, who retired hurt earlier, is back on the field, and CSK need runs from him!!! 

07 Apr, 23:43 (IST)

OUT! This is pure drama! Dwayne Bravo did all the hard work, smashed Jasprit Bumrah for 20 runs. But he perishes on the last ball. Should have went for the six, but instead goes for the big shot. He is caught by Rohit at cover. CSK need seven runs from last over. Dwayne Bravo c Rohit b Bumrah 68(30) 

07 Apr, 23:36 (IST)

Excellent batting this by Dwayne Bravo. He is not giving it up. Mitchell McClenaghan concedes 20 runs and that brings the equation down to 27 off 12 balls.

07 Apr, 23:24 (IST)

Chennai Super Kings now need 51 more runs to win from four overs now. Dwayne Bravo is batting on 28 off 16 balls. He holds key for CSK. However, it won't be easy to take his side to win from here.

07 Apr, 23:20 (IST)

OUT! Harbhajan Singh perishes as well. Mitchell McClenaghan bangs it short, Harbhajan was looking to hit it over the third man, but ends up hitting it straight towards the fielder.  Harbhajan c Bumrah b McClenaghan 8(5) 

07 Apr, 23:10 (IST)

OUT! Wicket number three for Mayank Markande. Deepak Chahar comes down the track. Misread the googly, the ball goes between his pad and bat. Ishan Kishan does the rest! D Chahar st Ishan Kishan b Markande 0(1)

07 Apr, 23:06 (IST)

Kedar Jadhav has pulled a hamstring and thus is off the field. 

07 Apr, 23:01 (IST)

OUT! CSK have now lost half the side. Ravindra Jadeja is the latest victim. He gets toe-end of the bat and Suryakumar Yadav takes the catch near mid-off. Jadeja c Suryakumar Yadav b Mustafizur 12(13)

07 Apr, 22:57 (IST)

It is down to Kedar Jadhav and Ravindra Jadeja to bail CSK out of the trouble. CSK need 91 more runs to win from 49 balls and the required run-rate has gone over 11 runs per over.

07 Apr, 22:44 (IST)

OUT! CSK in all sorts of trouble. Mayank Markande has struck once again and this time he gets the big fish, MS Dhoni. Superb review this by MI. Dhoni failed to pick the googly and is hit on the back leg. Umpire gives it not out, MI opt for DRS and it was three reds!  Dhoni lbw b Markande 5(5)

07 Apr, 22:39 (IST)

OUT! Dream start this for Mayank Markande. He traps Ambati Rayudu in front of the wickets on his third delivery. Rayudu thinks about going for DRS but decides against it and rightly so. Rayudu lbw b Markande 22(19)

07 Apr, 22:29 (IST)

OUT! Suresh Raina hits it straight to mid-on. He was looking to hit it over the fielder, but fails. With Raina's end comes an end to Powerplay as well. Raina c Krunal Pandya b Hardik Pandya 4(6)

07 Apr, 22:15 (IST)

OUT! Big wicket this for Mumbai Indians. Shane Watson started to look dangerous, but he perishes. Cleverly bowled by Pandya, bowled it slow. Watson plays across, but early and the ball goes high in the air and the fielder near long-leg takes the catch. Watson c Lewis b Hardik Pandya 16(14)

07 Apr, 22:02 (IST)

Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu are the CSK openers. Mitchell McClenaghan started proceedings for MI. Good first over by CSK, seven off it.

07 Apr, 21:40 (IST)

Once again Dwayne Bravo bowls a super over. He is difficult to score off, concedes just five runs in the last over. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya has hurt himself at the non-strikers end. MI medical staff is taking him off the field. Hope it is not serious.

07 Apr, 21:30 (IST)

Super bowling this by Dwayne Bravo. This is what he is known for Mixing his slower balls nicely and he concedes just three runs in the 18th over.  Krunal Pandya struggled against him and that resulted in dot balls.
