A poor delivery by Arshad and Dube pulls it over fine leg for a six!

2 runs needed!

A full delivery by Madhwal and outside off. Conway fails to connect and it hits him and then defelcts to the wicketkeeper's left. MI review and Hawk-Eye shows three reds!

Conway lbw b Madhwal 44 (42)

Goyal sends it flat, to the stumps. Dube pulls it to midwicket for a single.

CSK: 119/3 (14), Target: 140

CSK need 21 from 36 balls.

A short delivery by Goyal, and Dube pulls it over midwicket for a dominant six! SMASHING!

First, Rayudu launches Stubbs over wide long-on for a massive six! Then he cuts him straight to short third for a catch!

Rayudu c Goyal b Stubbs 12 (11)

A full delivery by Chawla, outside off. Rayudu gets hit on the left hand and goes for a single.

CSK need 52 from 54 balls now.

Rahane's inside edge is beaten, MI go up in appeal and the umpire gives it. Rahane takes the review with about 2 seconds left on the clock and ball tracking shows the impact was on off and it would have hit middle stump.

Rahane lbw b Chawla 21 (17), CSK 81/2 in 9 overs

Rahane is on three off four, Conway on 18 off 17. That wicket of Gaikwad has definitely slowed things down to a large extent but CSK don't need to go slap-bang. They need just 85 to win off 84 balls.

Chawla strikes first ball! Ruturaj top edges a big pull shot, the ball baloons up and comes down for an easy catch for Ishan Kishan.

Gaikwad c Ishan Kishan b Chawla 30 (16), CSK 46/1 in 4.1 overs

The powerplay was a disaster for MI while batting and the same is the case as it turns out while they are bowling. Archer goes short and wide, Conway hits it into the ground and the ball races away to the boundary.

20 runs have come off the third over. Gaikwad is on 29 off 14. The fifth ball is sent beuatifully right past the bowler with a straight drive by Gaikwad. Then Ruturaj pulls Arshad fine for a six off the last.

The second and third balls of the third over from Arshad Khan have been smoked by Ruturaj Gaikwad. First he pulls over midwicket for the first maximum of the innings, then Ruturaj sends Arshad behind point.

Green bowling the first over and he ends it with a leg stump half volley. Gaikwad clips that away with ease over midwicket. He ends the over on 8 off seven, having faced one extra ball due to the no ball.

“Surface looks good. Initially it was a bit slow, but as it went by, it was getting better. Just bowl attacking lengths, and be aggressive in your mindset,” he said. 

Pathirana gave away just five runs and took two wickets in that last over. A stop and start innings to say the least from MI. Their top three contributed just 13 runs but Nehal Wadhera's partnership with Suryakumar Yadav and Tristan Stubbs is what has got them to where they are. Stubbs fell for a 21-ball 20, far from the kind of strike rate he is known for. Let's see what they do in trying to defend this score.

What a death-over bowler this man is turning out to be and the second of those is a brilliant catch from Jadeja. This last over won't bring too many riches for Mumbai. 

David fell to Deshpande off the third ball of the 19th and so it is down to Arshad Khan and Stubbs to do whatever they can to get MI close to 150. Stubbs is on 20 off as many and off strike.

Wadhera moves across, Pathirana sees it and sends in a searing yorker right on middle stump. It finds the target and that is the end of Wadhera's innings.

Wadhera b Pathirana 64 (51), MI 123/5 in 17.3 Overs

Jadeja has conceded in 16 runs in the 17th over. Two fours to end it and Wadhera moves to 64 off 50.

He has got there 44 balls but he is now getting a real move on now. MI are 108/4 in 16.1 overs and can get to around 160 if they do wel from here.

Stubbs does the reverse sweep off the third ball of that over and it just about beats Dhoni. Couple of much needed boundaries for MI here.

Never too late to hit your first six, eh? This one has come off the first ball of the 16th and taken MI to a score of 98/4. Theekshana sends in a carrom ball at length on middle, Wadher smashes it over the bowler's head.

Wadhera on 39 off as many, Tristan Stubbs on 5 off 7. Tim David Still waiting in the dugout and so it is time for these two to start whacking them. Stubbs especially is known for his big hitting, has a strike rate of 164.76 in his short T20I career for South Africa.

Jadeja sends this careening in at 102kph, Suryakumar is beaten by pace by a spinner. SKY looking to slash hard at this shortish ball on middle and off. It zips through and hits the stumps.

Suryakumar Yadav b Jadeja 26 (22), MI 69/4 in 10.3 overs
