IPL 2018 Final, CSK vs SRH Live Score: Chennai Super Kings beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets

S Kaul to S Watson, Just short of the fielder! A full toss on off, Watson lifts it over covers and Rashid rushes forward from sweeper cover. He puts in a dive but it falls just short of him. A couple taken. Superb effort by the Afghan, did well to have his body behind so that the ball didn't race away. 50-run stand comes up!

S Kaul to S Watson, SIX! High and handsome! Seems Kaul is a marked man. They are going after him. His slower one is easily picked by Watson who has smoked this one over long on. The crowd is going Chennai, Chennai!

S Kaul to S Raina, On the pads, it's flicked to deep square leg for a run.

S Kaul to S Watson, Full and angling into the batsman, Watson just chips it down the ground and the long on fielder runs across to his left to stop the ball. A run taken.

Strategic break! Just 8 overs into the chase and we have seen most of the things. Great spell of swing bowling, misfields, cracking shots and a wicket. Chennai would like to feel that they are off to a good start and the current pair is looking quite settled. 123 needed off 72 balls, out of which 18 balls will be bowled by Rashid Khan. How much impact they will have on this final will probably decide the future of this game...

R Khan to S Watson, Turning back into the batsman from around off, Watson pushes it towards covers and takes a single. 5 from Rashid's first over.

R Khan to S Raina, Played to the mid-wicket region by the batsman. They pick up a single.

R Khan to S Watson, A wrong 'un probably, full and on middle, Watson walks forward but fails to flick. They appeal as the batsmen cross. Nothing from the umpire, he just signals for the leg bye. Would have missed the leg stump, I feel.

R Khan to S Raina, Quicker and fuller on the pads, Raina tickles it behind square leg and pinches a single. Watson was really pushed there as the throw came in quickly to the keeper.

R Khan to S Watson, Gets on the front foot to a full ball outside off and strokes it to long off for a single.

R Khan to S Watson, Flatter and shorter outside off, hit back to the bowler.

Here comes the Afghan, Rashid Khan! A slip is in place.

S Kaul to S Raina, FOUR! Sliding down the leg side, on a good length, Raina picks it up and pulls it fine down the leg side for a boundary. 16 off the over, they have suddenly upped the ante straight after the field restriction was relaxed.

S Kaul to S Raina, Straighter in line, played on the leg side but straight to the fielder at mid-wicket.

S Kaul to S Raina, FOUR! Nicely done! Short and angling down the leg side, Raina stands back and deflects it neatly down to fine leg for a boundary. That was a real gift by Kaul.

S Kaul to S Watson, Aerial but safe! Fortune favours the brave, they say. Watson throws his bat at a length ball wide outside off and gets a top edge. It flies over the infield at cover-point and falls safely as the sweeper fielder charges in. A run taken.

S Kaul to S Watson, SIX! What a shot! Great pick up by the Aussie. It's on his pads and he just flicks it nonchalantly over backward square leg for a biggie. Effortless. Minimum effort, maximum result.

S Kaul to S Raina, Full and on middle, forced down to long on for a run.

Siddarth Kaul is into the attack now.
