Player Of The Match
  • 19.6

    OUT! Run Out. Dwayne Bravo to Mohammed Siraj. Full toss, outside off stump on the back foot Slog, to mid on for 1 run, fielded by Rayudu, by Dhoni.

    RCB make a respectable 127-9 after it was looking very dire at one point. They have Tim Southee to thank after his quickfire 36 from 26 while Parthiv Patel played a lone hand at the top with 53. Chennai will have high hopes of chasing this down comfortably and moving into top spot.

  • 19.5

    Dwayne Bravo to Tim Southee. Length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, inside edge to short fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Ngidi.

  • 19.4

    Dwayne Bravo to Tim Southee. Yorker, outside off stump moves in front driving, to silly mid off for no runs, fielded by Bravo.

    Dwayne Bravo to Tim Southee. Off cutter length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, to deep backward square leg for 2 runs, fielded by Thakur.

  • 19.2

    Dwayne Bravo to Tim Southee. Off cutter yorker, outside off stump on the back foot driving, inside edge to short fine leg for no runs, by Ngidi. What a shambles. Siraj is laid in the middle of the wicket with no chance of getting back but Ngidi lobs the ball straight over the head of DJ Bravo. That should have been a simple run-out.

  • 19.1

  • 18.3

    FOUR! Shardul Thakur to Tim Southee. Half volley, outside off stump down the track Scoop, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs, dropped catch by Ngidi. How has that gone there? Attempted paddle which Southee has got dreadfully wrong, the ball loops off the edge and makes it's way to third man but Ngidi can't cling on to a tough catch.

  • 18.2

    SIX! Shardul Thakur to Tim Southee. Back of a length, outside off stump moves in front pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. Right in Tim Southee's arc. He loves it there and hammers the ball over the rope.

    Dwayne Bravo to Tim Southee. Off cutter length ball, off stump moves in front glancing, inside edge to short fine leg for 5 runs, shy attempt by Ngidi, overthrow by Ngidi. Bonus runs for RCB.

    OUT! Run Out. Lungi Ngidi to Umesh Yadav. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to mid off, direct hit by Willey. Not the way to start after a time-out.

    Comfortable win in the end for Chennai. They take the victory by six wickets and move into top spot while RCB remain four points behind the final playoff position. Bangalore never had enough runs on the board and it was always going to be tough task to defend. Ambati Rayudu carried on his purple patch with a brisk 32 while MS Dhoni does what he does best at the end with a quickfire 31, which included three maximums.
