19.6: Dwayne Bravo to Lockie Ferguson, CHENNAI WIN BY 27 RUNS! Dwayne Bravo bowls a near-yorker around off, Ferguson digs it out to the leg side and crosses. Whistle Podu for Chennai! MS Dhoni smiles and the dugout erupts. Yet another feather in Dhoni's cap, this is his fourth title and he has achieved it in his 300th T20 match as captain. Take a bow, legend!

0

0
18.4: Shardul Thakur to Lockie Ferguson, WIDE! Another one outside off, Ferguson does not play at that. Another wide. Just delaying the inevitable.

6

19.6: Shivam Mavi to Faf du Plessis, OUT! TAKEN! A wicket on the final ball of the innings. Faf du Plessis was looking to end the innings on a high but he loses his wicket. He will not care though as he has done what was needed from him. A length delivery, on middle, Faf du Plessis hits this one hard towards long on. Looks like it will fly over the ropes, but the shot does not have enough wings to do so. Venkatesh Iyer holds onto this in the deep. CHENNAI END ON 192/3!

2
19.5: Shivam Mavi to Faf du Plessis, Eoin Morgan misfields! That should have just been a run, but the skipper misfields and allows them to come back for the second. Short of a length, around off, Faf looks to hit it down the ground but miscues it towards mid off. Morgan runs across, slides, tries to collect the ball but lets it off his grasp. One more taken. Two, in the end.

1
19.4: Shivam Mavi to Moeen Ali, In the arc around off, Moeen muscles this down towards long off for one. Can Mavi keep his nerve in these last 2 deliveries?

1
19.3: Shivam Mavi to Faf du Plessis, Well bowled by Mavi! A good first half of the over from him, just 4 off it. A slower, back-of-a-length delivery, around middle, pulled awkwardly to deep square leg for one.

2
19.2: Shivam Mavi to Faf du Plessis, Another full toss, around middle and leg, at 140 clicks, Faf du Plessis clips this to the right of deep square leg for a couple of runs.

6
18.5: Varun Chakravarthy to Moeen Ali, SIX! Ali continues to score boundaries for fun! Flatter this time, around off, Moeen Ali stands his ground and just smokes this one over the bowler for a biggie.

1
18.4: Varun Chakravarthy to Faf du Plessis, Tossed up, on middle, Faf du Plessis makes room and looks to play the inside-out shot over covers, but gets an inside edge, on his pads. The ball deflects to the off side for one.

1
18.3: Varun Chakravarthy to Moeen Ali, EDGY! Flatter, outside off, Moeen Ali dances down and swings hard at this. The ball catches the outside edge and finds Sunil Narine on the bounce, at short third man. Only a run.

4
18.2: Varun Chakravarthy to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Ali finds the gap! The 50-run stand comes up between these two as well! Slightly shorter, around middle and leg, Moeen Ali stands back and whacks this one between deep mid-wicket and long on. Boundary.

17.6: Lockie Ferguson to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! What an over this has been for Chennai, 19 off it! 200 is well within the grasp! Fuller on middle, Faf du Plessis whips this one wonderfully and bags a one-bounce boundary at deep mid-wicket. An outing to forget for Lockie Ferguson as he concedes 56 in his quota of 4 overs.

6
17.5: Lockie Ferguson to Faf du Plessis, SIX! Oh, wow! He is just so good! Lockie Ferguson goes for the slower option, too wide, in the slot too, Faf du Plessis anticipates this well, as he gets low and hammers this one over the extra cover fence.

0
17.5: Lockie Ferguson to Faf du Plessis, WIDE. Slower one now, on a length but sliding down the leg side, Faf du Plessis moves away from the delivery and leaves it.

1
17.4: Lockie Ferguson to Moeen Ali, On middle, heaved towards mid-wicket by Moeen for one.

4
17.3: Lockie Ferguson to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Top shot! In the arc around off, on a length, Moeen Ali stands tall and smacks this over covers. Takes a bounce and goes past the rope.

2
17.2: Lockie Ferguson to Moeen Ali, Superb effort from Kamlesh Nagarkoti (sub)! He might not be playing, but he does well here. On a length, on the pads, Moeen Ali flicks this towards fine leg. Kamlesh Nagarkoti, in the deep, runs to his left, dives, and pushes the ball away. Saves a couple of runs for his side.

1
17.1: Lockie Ferguson to Faf du Plessis, Morgan misfields! Outside off, length, the Saffa hits this towards Eoin at extra cover, who rushes forward and fumbles, letting the batters cross ends.
