Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube
Vaibhav Arora goes for the wide yorker but the ball goes just beyond the tramline. Shivam Dube lets it be. Ajinkya Rahane asks the keeper and sends it upstairs in the hope of overturning the wide call. A tiny portion of the ball is within the guideline. The decision is overturned. DOT!

Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube
Wide! Arora sticks to the wide yorker ploy from around the wicket, Shivam Dube reaches out and throws his hands at the delivery but misses. KKR go for the review again. This time, no part of the ball is within the tramline. It will stay as a wide.

Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube
SIX! In the arc and thumped into the stands! Vaibhav Arora shifts from his wide yorker plan. Serves it closer to the off stump. On a length, Shivam Dube whacks it over wide long on for a biggie.

Vaibhav Arora to Shivam Dube
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A ray of hope for KKR! Rinku Singh holds onto a pressure catch. This was there to be hit, in the slot, around off, Shivam Dube winds up to go over long off and ends up getting more height than distance on it. Rinku at long off settles under the skier and completes a safe catch while tumbling backwards. Dube falls for 45 (40) with CSK still needing 10 runs.

Vaibhav Arora to Noor Ahmad
Arora is not happy with the effort in the deep! Vaibhav goes full and straight, at the stumps, Noor Ahmad gets his bat down to jam it out. Squeezes it out off an inside edge to the right of deep square leg where Ramandeep Singh swoops in and gets to the ball. The throw is a loopy one and even though the keeper, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, collects and whips the bails, Noor is in with a dive at the batting end. Two runs taken.
18.6
W
Vaibhav Arora to Noor Ahmad
OUT! TAKEN! Noor Ahmad had to go for a big hit, with it being the final ball! KKR are still pretty much in it. On a back of a length, on middle, Noor Ahmad hangs back and flat bats it. Does not get any sort of elevation and hits it flat and straight to long on where Rinku Singh does the rest. CSK need 8 from the final over.

Harshit Rana to Ravichandran Ashwin
Good length, angled into the pads, Ashwin fails to flick it away and gets it off the pads to short fine leg. They do get the leg bye though.

Harshit Rana to Urvil Patel
SIX! That is a top, top shot! Hard-length delivery, pitching on off and darting back in. Urvil Patel stays back and rises back up before clobbering it just wide of long on for a biggie. Fourth six already for Patel.

Harshit Rana to Urvil Patel
OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, what a sharp catch and Urvil Patel cannot believe it! Harshit Rana bowls this one quick and in the channel outside off, pitches it on that in-between length. The ball isn't short or wide enough but Patel just throws his hands at it. The ball takes the outside edge and flies flat to the left of short third where Varun Chakaravarthy snaffles it to his left in a jiffy. Rana is delighted as Patel's fiery cameo has to end for 31 off just 11 balls. CSK 3 down now for just 37!

Moeen Ali to Urvil Patel
SIX! Moeen enticing the youngster and Urvil Patel is showing no mercy to the veteran. Flighted ball, around middle, Patel holds his shape and swings it away in front of deep mid-wicket for yet another biggie.

Quicker one, on a length, turning in sharply towards the pads. Patel miscues the pull but gets it over square leg for a single.

Moeen Ali to Devon Conway
OUT! TIMBER! Moeen Ali does get a wicket after all the bashing! Around the wicket to the left-hander, tossing it up and getting it to drift as well. Lovely seam position as this is floated up on middle, slightly fuller as well. Devon Conway is drawn forward but gets beaten in the flight and the ball drifts in to crash into the leg stump. Conway too departs for a two-ball duck and CSK are now 25/2!

Moeen Ali to Ravichandran Ashwin
An early review lost by CSK! Nicely tossed up, on a length and turning in sharply as well. Ravichandran Ashwin takes a step in towards the off side but the ball beats him on the inside edge and goes down leg. No wide called but Ashwin reviews it. The third umpire checks the replays and feels that if Ashwin hadn't moved, the ball would have hit his body. NO WIDE!

STRATEGIC BREAK! It’s been an action-packed first 8 overs of CSK’s chase. The visitors have gone hard with the bat but have paid the price, losing wickets at regular intervals. With the required rate still under control, they now need a steady partnership to anchor the innings. At the same time, they can’t allow KKR’s spinners to dictate terms in the middle phase. A crucial passage of play awaits.

Wide not given and Shivam Dube has taken the review. Flat line on UltraEdge and the on-field call has been overturned to a wide.

Strategic Break! Right then, 40 needed off 30 balls and 9 out of 10 times, you would bet your money on the batting side. However, CSK are 6 down and KKR will know that one more wicket before it's too late and this game could end up being a very close one. Can MSD use all of his experience to take his side home? Or will KKR's bowlers manage to pinch a couple of crucial points for their side? Let's find out... With that said, Andre Russell comes in to bowl his first over of the game.
0
Vaibhav Arora to bowl the crucial penultimate over. Remember, he went for 30 in his previous over. Can he redeem himself?

Noor Ahmad is in next.

Anshul Kamboj is the new man in. However, it will be MS Dhoni on strike. Andre Russell to bowl the final over, 8 needed for CSK to win. Here we go...

Right then, yet another fascinating contest in the 2025 IPL comes to an enthralling end. With just a handful of games remaining in the league stage, we will start to see a couple of more teams bow out and a couple of them seal a top-four berth. Next up, it is another crunch clash between two teams that are in the top 5 currently, as Punjab Kings welcome Delhi Capitals at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. That game will be played on Thursday, 8 May at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can tune in a lot sooner to our build-up. Cheers!

Vaibhav Arora to Ayush Mhatre
Good line and length to begin with! On a hard length and around off, no swing on offer, Ayush Mhatre stands tall and punches it nicely down towards cover.

Vaibhav Arora to Ayush Mhatre
OUT! CAUGHT! A nothing shot from Ayush Mhatre and Vaibhav Arora strikes in the first over of the chase. Vaibhav pulls the length back slightly and angles it back in from outside off. Mhatre stays leg side of the ball but doesn't move his feet as he tries to smash it over the off side. Ends up mistiming it badly and lobbing it straight to Harshit Rana at cover-point and he makes no mistake. Mhatre out for a two-ball duck.
