James Neesham to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Just beats the fielder for a boundary. Outside off on a good length, du Plessis stands tall and punches this through the covers. It is to the right of the sweeper cover fielder, Ravi Bishnoi. Ravi runs in that direction, puts in the dive but it sneaks under him and touches the ropes.

154 to win for Chennai then. We are all set for the chase to start. Punjab's players are in a meeting near the ropes, with their skipper, KL Rahul, lending the final words of wisdom. Chennai's openers are Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis. For Punjab, James Neesham will start off with the ball. Here we go then...

A good bowling performance from Chennai, They did not start off well but dominated the middle phase and had they been given a chance to restrict Punjab under 160 at the start of the game, they would have taken it. But where they were at halfway mark of the innings, they would feel they may have given away 20 runs more. 6 bowlers were used by Dhoni with the spin duo of Tahir and Jadeja giving away just 41 from their combined 7 overs and picking up one wicket a piece. Ngidi, though expensive in his last two overs, was the pick of the bowlers, picking up 3. Thakur was good in his 4. All-in-all, a satisfactory performance from the Chennai bowlers.
