Earlier in the day, Kolkata won the toss and opted to field. They got of to a dream start as Umesh Yadav got them an early wicket of the dangerous Ruturaj Gaikwad. After that, wickets kept falling until Dhoni joined Ravindra Jadeja and got things back on track.

All the Kolkata bowlers did a good job to restrict Chennai to a paltry 131.

At the time of filing the copy, Kolkata needs 21 off 26 balls. They have Sam Billings and Sheyas Iyer in the middle and look good to win it.
