SIX! What a finish by MS Dhoni. With it, CSK win by five wickets. Disappointment for RCB. Dhoni finishes unbeaten on 70 off 34 balls.  

So, CSK now need 16 runs from the last over. Siraj bowled the penultimate over, he gave away 14 runs. Was smashed for a six by MS Dhoni, besides bowling three back to back wides.

OUT! Drama this! Umesh Yadav dropped Ambati Rayudu and now makes for it, but maybe little late, with a sensational direct at from backward point. That's end of a fine knock by Rayudu. Rayudu run out (U Yadav) 82(53)

This is getting close! RCB losing the plot? Well, only time will tell. Meanwhile, CSK need 45 more runs to win from 18 balls. Surprised that, Colin de Grandhomme has not bowled so far.

Umesh Yadav at extra-cover drops Ambati Rayudu! How costly will it prove? Meanwhile, CSK need 55 more runs to win from 24 balls. There is going to be a tight finish here.

CSK now need 80 more runs to win from36 balls. Ambati Rayudu has gone past his half-century. Fifty off 40 balls for him. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni has come out all guns blazing and is batting on 36 off 19 balls.

OUT! Chahal picks his second wicket, this time sends Ravindra Jadeja packing. Beats Jadeja and he is bowled! Chahal thumps the fist in the air. Jadeja b Chahal 3(5)

OUT! Yuzvendra Chahal strikes in his first over. Sam Billings is stumped. He comes down the track, misses the ball and QDK does the rest. Billings st de Kock b Chahal 9(7)

OUT! Big wicket this for RCB. Umesh Yadav removes Suresh Raina. He was looking to flick the ball, goes for the shot early and gets the leading edge which goes straight towards backward point. Raina c Mandeep b U Yadav 11(9)

One over of Powerplay remaining now and CSK will be looking to score maximum from that. Meanwhile, the visitors are scoring at rate of 10 runs per over and have reached fifty.  

Good batting this by Ambati Rayudu. He is in good form and that's very much evident. Sensed the opportunity to score against Washington Sundar and did it with perfection, smashed him for back to back sixes. 

OUT! Big wicket this upfront for RCB. Pawan Negi gets rid of Shane Watson, keeps it short as Watson goes for a pull. He ends up hitting it towards Siraj at mid-on. Watson c Siraj b Negi 7(4) 

There yo go, RCB cross that 200-run mark and it's Washington Sundar's 4-ball 13 that provided RCB the much-needed impetus towards the end. Bravo's eventful over had three wickets and 14 runs in it!

Do join us for CSK's chase.

Would you believe it, third wicket in the over for CSK. This one goes into Bravo's account now as Umesh Yadav looking for a big shot perishes. U Yadav c Billings b Dwayne Bravo 0(1) 

Back to back run-outs here. First MS Dhoni catches Colin de Grandhomme short of the crease and then Jadeja gets rid of Pawan Negi.

One over to go now. Thanks to Mandeep Singh's 17-ball 32, RCB are real close to that 200-run mark. The right-hander fell on the last ball of the this over. It is over to de Grandhomme now. Dwayne Bravo will bowl the last over and it won't be easy to score off him. 

Mandeep Singh and Colin de Grandhomme are the two new batsmen at the crease. They have quickly added 22 from 12 balls so far. RCB now eye the final onslaught. Can they cross the 200-run mark? 

OUT! Back to back wickets for Imran Tahir. He bowls a wrong 'un, Corey Anderson fails to pick it and edges it to the lone slip. Good captaincy by MSD to have a slip for Anderson. C Anderson c Harbhajan b Tahir 2(8)
