22:58 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: Good over!
Just six runs came off Josh Hazlewood’s third over. Chennai Super Kings need 90 runs in 18 balls. This game is already over. Just the formality remains. But RCB should focus on the net run rate. The better they bowl, the better their NRR will be.
CSK 107/7 (17)
-
22:54 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: Dhoni at crease!
Liam Livingstone claimed the wicket of R Ashwin in the over. MS Dhoni came in next and the crowd gave a huge cheer to the India and CSK legend. Chennai Super Kings need 96 runs in 24 balls.
CSK 101/7 (16)

CSK vs RCB Live: FOUR!
A reverse sweep from Ravichandran Ashwin for a four on the bowling of Krunal Pandya. 10 runs came off the over. Chennai Super Kings need 99 runs in 30 balls. Has this match already slipped out of CSK’s grip? Well, the asking rate of nearly 20 suggests that.
CSK 98/6 (15)
-
22:45 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: Defensive approach from RCB!
7 runs in the over and it is almost game over for CSK. R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are not looking to score big and one will have to wonder why MS Dhoni did not come out to bat early. With 109 runs needed in 36 balls, this is looking very unlikely for the hosts.
CSK 88/6 (14)
-
22:38 (IST)

Another wicket and it is Yash Dayal once again! Dube went for the big shot but the ball hit his bottom edge and crashed into the stumps. Two wickets in the over and it is almost game, set and match for RCB. MS Dhoni still remains in the dugout but is it too little too late?

22:34 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: Rachin Ravindra departs!
Yash Dayal strikes for RCB and it is the massive wicket of Rachin Ravindra. The ball went from his inside-edge to his pads before crashing into the stumps as CSK’s hopes of winning the matches are slowly going away. A huge wicket in this situation and Ravindra Jadeja is the new batter.
CSK 76/5 (12.3)
-
22:29 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: Keeping the batters quiet
This is sensational bowling from Suyash Sharma. The youngster has hardly given any opportunities to the batter to attack him and CSK are really struggling to score quickly with the run rate growing rapidly. Both Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dube have failed to score big constantly and this can be game over for the hosts if they cannot accelarate quickly.
CSK 75/4 (11.5)
-
22:25 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: Getting tough for CSK!
This run chase is getting tougher with every over for Chennai Super Kings. Shivam Dube tried to go for the big shot on couple of occasions but just one boundary off Yash Dayal. With the required run rate creeping slowly, it will need a herculean effort from one or two of the CSK batters if they want to win this match.
CSK 73/4 (11)
-
22:20 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: End of 10 overs!

-
21:55 (IST)
CSK vs RCB Live: OUT!
Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets the much-deserved wicket of Deepak Hooda. And that was a brilliant review from RCB that provides them the wicket. Hooda got faintest of edges and Bhuvi was not that confident. Wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma and Virat Kohli were really confident about it. Kohli even signalled ‘T’ before RCB captain Rajat Patidar was convinced to go upstairs. Replays revealed an edge there. Hooda departed for 4 off 9 balls.
CSK 26/3 (4.4)
