Right! Not a massive score on the board! However, the surface is a bit on the slower side and Chennai will have to bat really well to chase it down. Bangalore bowlers are performing as a unit and they will be eager to repeat their performance from the last game. Join us for the chase in a short while.
Mitchell Santner is caught for a chat. He says that it is nice to play. Adds that the guys did well to restrict Bangalore. Goes onto say they will try to win the last three games. Says that the pitch is a little slow and if they bat well, they can chase this down. Tells that he tried to vary his pace and tried to pitch it fuller. Says that they need to have a good start with the bat and play like how Kohli and AB de Villiers batted.
Chennai bowlers were tidy from the start. They didn't offer a lot of freebies and kept the run rate under check throughout the innings. Sam Curran was their pick of the bowlers as the Englishman took a 3-fer in his 3-over spell, giving away just 19 runs. The spinners too did their job for them. Deepak Chahar and Mitchell Santner too managed to scalp three wickets between them.
Earlier in the game, after winning the toss, Kohli opted to set a target for the opposition. Finch and Padikkal, the openers for Bangalore, started well as they added 31 between them but both fell quickly. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers got together and then calmly took singles and doubles and managed to find the occasional boundaries. However, in search of quick runs, de Villiers holed out, ending the 82-run stand. And towards the end, some good bowling from Chennai meant that even Kohli who got to a fine half ton couldn't give the final flourish to the total.
Fine bowling performance from Chennai! They have done really well to keep the star-studded Bangalore batting line-up to below 150. When Kohli and de Villiers were batting together, one would've felt that they might explode towards the end and take the bowlers apart but that never happened.

DRINKS! 4 overs left. World's two best batsmen. World's two well-set batsmen. We might be in for some terrific finish of this innings from Kohli and de Villiers. And, if that happens, Chennai might be looking at a bigger total than they would've thought after dismissing both the openers. They need one of their bowlers to remove at least one of these two. Let's see how this final phase pans out.
