Ruturaj Gaikwad c Shivam Mavi b Sunil Narine 32 27 3 1 118.52

8.1

Sunil Narine to Ruturaj Gaikwad, OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket after the break. How often have we seen this? A lot of times and that is what has happened here. Gaikwad decides to take Narine on straightaway after the Time-Out and perishes. Narine dishes a floated ball on off, possibly a carrom ball, Gaikwad steps out and looks to smack it out of the park but slices it off the outer half to long off. Shivam Mavi is waiting in the deep and he makes no mistake. A big wicket for Kolkata and Sunil Narine is delighted.

Faf du Plessis c Venkatesh Iyer b Shivam Mavi 86 59 7 3 145.76

19.6

Shivam Mavi to Faf du Plessis, OUT! TAKEN! A wicket on the final ball of the innings. Faf du Plessis was looking to end the innings on a high but he loses his wicket. He will not care though as he has done what was needed from him. A length delivery, on middle, Faf du Plessis hits this one hard towards long on. Looks like it will fly over the ropes, but the shot does not have enough wings to do so. Venkatesh Iyer holds onto this in the deep. CHENNAI END ON 192/3!

Robin Uthappa lbw b Sunil Narine 31 15 0 3 206.67

13.3

Sunil Narine to Robin Uthappa, OUT! LBW! Sunil Narine gets the much-needed breakthrough for Kolkata and Chennai lose their second. The review does not save Robin and he has to walk back. Narine serves this slightly fuller, around off and spinning in a bit, Uthappa strides forward and looks to employ the reverse-sweep but he misses and gets pinged on the front pad. An appeal and the umpire does not take long to raise his finger. Robin Uthappa goes for the review this time. It does him no good as there is no bat on the UltraEdge and the Ball Tracker shows three reds. Not the end that Robin would have wanted to his innings, but he will be pretty pleased nonetheless as he has provided the push in the middle phase for the Men in Yellow.

Shubman Gill lbw b Deepak Chahar 51 43 6 0 118.6

13.2

Deepak Chahar to Shubman Gill, OUT! LBW! Gill goes and Chennai continue to pick up wickets. The final is swinging their way now. This was plumb and there was no hesitation from the umpire. Chahar bowls a low full toss around off, Gill shuffles across the stumps and looks to paddle but misses it completely. It hits him low on the pads. Chahar and Chennai appeal and the umpire has no hesitation in raising his finger. Shubman Gill knows that he is a goner and doesn't even bother to take the DRS. Kolkata are staring down the barrel.

Venkatesh Iyer c Ravindra Jadeja b Shardul Thakur 50 32 5 3 156.25

10.4

Shardul Thakur to Venkatesh Iyer, OUT! TAKEN! No spider cam in the way this time! A really good catch by Ravindra Jadeja in the deep and the first wicket stand has finally been broken. A great knock of 50 from Venkatesh Iyer but his stay has come to an end. Around off, on a length this time, Venkatesh Iyer looks to slam this one down the ground, but he mistimes it high in the air towards deep cover. The ball is swirling in the air and Ravindra Jadeja does very well to keep his eyes on the ball and pouches this with his strong fingers underneath it. 102 needed in 56 balls.

Nitish Rana c Faf du Plessis b Shardul Thakur 0 1 0 0 0

10.6

Shardul Thakur to Nitish Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! What an over this has been by Thakur! He gets 2 wickets and the momentum has shifted! A golden duck for the southpaw, Rana and he trudges back disappointed. The scrambled seam this time, on a length, around off, Nitish Rana only chips this one towards mid off, where Faf du Plessis gets forward slightly and gulps this down. 100 more needed in 54 balls.

Sunil Narine c Ravindra Jadeja b Josh Hazlewood 2 2 0 0 100

11.3

Josh Hazlewood to Sunil Narine, OUT! TAKEN! No fireworks from Sunil Narine this time around! There is no way Ravindra Jadeja is going to drop these! You are not going to find safer hands, than Jadeja's. In no time, Kolkata have lost three wickets and Chennai are making inroads. A touch shorter, around middle and leg, Sunil Narine backs away to the leg side and powers this one towards deep mid-wicket. Ravindra Jadeja is stationed there and he takes it, backtracks, but stops before the rope. 96 needed in 51 balls.

Eoin Morgan (C) c Deepak Chahar b Josh Hazlewood 4 8 0 0 50

16.3

Josh Hazlewood to Eoin Morgan, OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliance in the field from Deepak Chahar and that should be it for Kolkata! What an effort from Deepak Chahar though! Simply terrific! Short ball on the pads, Morgan pulls it to deep square leg. Chahar comes across, jumps and catches it. He sees himself going over and throws the ball back up. He goes over the rope, comes back in and completes the catch. The third umpire takes a look at it and is happy with the effort. So, Kolkata lose their 8th wicket.

Dinesh Karthik (W) c Ambati Rayudu b Ravindra Jadeja 9 7 0 1 128.57

14.5

Ravindra Jadeja to Dinesh Karthik, OUT! CAUGHT! Jadeja gets a wicket off a rank long-hop! Dinesh Karthik will be disappointed that he could not put it away and Chennai are on top in this final. Jadeja dishes a short ball on the pads, Karthik looks to pull but mistimes it. Ambati Rayudu does not have to move an inch at deep square leg and he takes an easy catch. 74 needed in 31 balls.

Shakib Al Hasan lbw b Ravindra Jadeja 0 1 0 0 0

14.6

Ravindra Jadeja to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! LBW! You just cannot keep Ravindra Jadeja out of the game! Chennai are all over Kolkata at the moment and we can see some glum faces among the Kolkata fans. Jadeja bowls a quicker ball on middle, Shakib Al Hasan looks to flick but misses and gets rapped on the pads. An appeal is made and the finger has gone up. Plumb in front.

Rahul Tripathi c Moeen Ali b Shardul Thakur 2 3 0 0 66.67

15.4

Shardul Thakur to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! CAUGHT! Another wicket goes down and the dream for Kolkata is crumbling. Tripathi had no option but to go for the big shot and he perishes. Good-length ball on middle, Tripathi looks to go over long on but does not time it well at all. Moeen Ali has no problems in taking it in the deep.

Lockie Ferguson not out 18 11 1 1 163.64

Shivam Mavi c Deepak Chahar b Dwayne Bravo 20 13 1 2 153.85

19.5

Dwayne Bravo to Shivam Mavi, OUT! Wicket number 9 goes down! Fullish and outside off, slower in pace, Shivam Mavi mistimes his heave in the air and Deepak Chahar completes the catch safely at deep mid-wicket. Can Chennai pick the final wicket on the last ball?
