Lungi Ngidi is the Man of the Match for his 4/10 the most economical figures of this season’s IPL.
Mohit Sharma to bowl the final over but he’ll get to send in just one delivery as Dhoni pulls the first ball over backward square leg for a SIX to seal the win. What a victory for CSK as they beat KXIP by 5 wickets.
Tye to bowl his final over. He sends down a shorter knuckle ball to begin with and Raina absolutely crunches it, sending the ball flat over deep midwicket for a SIX. Raina then brings up his FIFTY by launching the 3rd ball over long on for another SIX. He isn’t done yet as he gets under the 4th ball slashing it past deep backward point for a FOUR. Raina follows this up by pulling the next ball to fine leg for back-to-back FOURs. Scores are level now as 22 runs come off that over.
Mohit is back into the attack. Raina gets a leading edge on the 2nd ball sending it high towards third man, Rajpoot comes charging in but the ball lands just short in front of him, he does well to prevent it from running to the boundary. Raina swings at the 5th delivery but he doesn’t get enough on it as he sends the ball towards deep midwicket, but he’s lucky once again as it lands just short of the man who was running in. Dhoni then shows him how it’s done as he swivels and sends the last ball to deep square leg for FOUR.
CSK now need 23 runs from 12 balls to win.
Ashwin to bowl out and once again he gets a wicket off the very first ball of his over. Chahar looks the send the first delivery out across the boundary but only gets a top edge to the ball taking it high into the night sky. Mohit Sharma keeps his composure and takes the catch at cover. CSK won’t mind the wicket though as Chahar has done his bit in the middle and the wicket gives MS Dhoni an opportunity to walk out to the crease. 6 runs and a wicket come off the over.
Axar continues. Chahar once again makes room by moving in his crease and launches the 2nd ball over long off for a SIX. 12 runs off the over.
CSK need 40 runs off 24 balls to win.
Ashwin to continue. Chahar gets the over off to a blazing start with back-to-back SIXES. He moves across the stumps and then sits low as he sends the first ball flying over deep square leg for the first SIX. He then follows this up by reaching out and sending the next ball sailing over long off and into the stands. He isn’t done yet though as he cuts the 5th ball past the man at point for a FOUR.
CSK go past the 100-run mark and this means that KXIP now have no chance of making it into the playoffs. Rajasthan Royals will qualify in the fourth and final playoff berth. KXIP are now playing for pride here.
Axar back into the attack. Chahar lifts the 4th ball towards deep midwicket and Mohit Sharma does well with a full length dive to save the boundary. Just 6 runs off the over.
CSK need 73 runs off 36 balls to win.
Ashwin continues. He starts well giving away just 2 runs off the first 5 balls. Raina punches the last ball to point as they pick up another single. Just 3 runs off that over.
