Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have posted 170/5 in their 20 overs against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. CSK were sent to bat first by KXIP captain Ravichandran Ashwin, who won the toss. KXIP started well, with Sam Curran (3/35) getting Shane Watson's wicket early on. Faf du Plessis (96) and Suresh Raina (53) put on a 120-run partnership before Sam Curran removed Raina against the run of play. Faf du Plessis shifted gears after reaching his fifty and at one point of time it looked as if he would take his team's total near the 200-mark. However, it was Curran who had the last laugh against the South African too, getting the ball to deflect off his pads into the stumps. CSK's ambitions of going for the final push received a jolt with Curran's late strike, and it was further jolted by two wickets by Mohammed Shami (2/17 ) in the last over. If CSK lose their last league match, they might be pushed down to second if Mumbai Indians (MI) win later in the day against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). KXIP, who have plummeted down to the last spot after a disappointing showing in the later half of the season, have an impossible task to qualify for the playoffs but will be playing for pride.

    Last ball is a yorker. Dhoni fails to get it away. CSK end at 170. Du Plessis' charge had promised so much more. Shami with a great final over.
    Can KXIP chase this down? 
  • 17:36 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Shami gets another wicket! Bowls Kedar Jadhav out for a golden duck. Flurry of wickets falling at the end.
  • 17:36 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Three balls left. Dhoni failing to find the boundaries too. 175 the total they will be targeting now maybe.

    Rayudu has joined Dhoni in the middle. Shami bowling the last over.
  • 17:29 (IST)May 05, 2019
    What a ball! Toe cruncher! Well, almost. Almost due to poor footwork by Faf du Plessis. Has to depart for 96. Sam Curran with his third wicket. 
  • 17:28 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Cracking shot. Reverberates throughout the stadium. Du Plessis the man again. Moves on to 96.
  • 17:26 (IST)May 05, 2019
  • 17:25 (IST)May 05, 2019
    CSK 154/2. Dhoni taking his time against Ashwin. Shami and Curran to bowl the last two overs presumably.
  • 17:24 (IST)May 05, 2019

    Sam Curran bearing the brunt of the assault now.
  • 17:16 (IST)May 05, 2019
    This partnership has been a perfect one. Raina was scoring faster early on in the partnership, now Du Plessis has taken the major responsibility on himself. Could 200 be on the cards? At the rate these two are going, not an impossibility.
  • 17:13 (IST)May 05, 2019
    4,4,6. Andrew Tye is getting smashed all around.

  • 17:12 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Five overs to go. How much more can these two set batsmen add to this total?
  • 17:09 (IST)May 05, 2019
  • 17:08 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Du Plessis goes big down the ground again. Maximum! Murugan Ashwin being taken apart. 18 runs off that over. CSK 124/1 after 15 overs. We head into the last break of the innings. 
  • 17:07 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Again slammed down the ground. KXIP bowlers not finding much joy. Especially not Murugan Ashwin.
  • 17:07 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Despite the spread out nature of the field, Raina finds the gap in the wide mid on outfield! Both batsmen have reached their fifties now.
  • 17:03 (IST)May 05, 2019
    R Ashwin being successful in keeping a check on the batsmen as of now. Raina will have other plans about his over though. CSK 106/1 after 14 overs
  • 16:59 (IST)May 05, 2019

  • 16:52 (IST)May 05, 2019
  • 16:51 (IST)May 05, 2019

  • 16:44 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Du Plessis hits Tye above the cover fielder. Fielders stayed rooted. No use running after that.
  • 16:42 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Andrew Tye into the attack for the first time today. Hasn't had the best of seasons this year. Economy above 10 and only 3 wickets to his name.
  • 16:38 (IST)May 05, 2019
    Raina dances down the track again to Harpreet. Smashed above wide mid on for a maximum. CSK 67/1 after the first 9 overs. Time for the first break of the day.
  • 16:36 (IST)May 05, 2019
