SUPER OVER 1:

KXIP batting: KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran walked into the middle to bat and Rohit Sharma handed the ball to his most-trusted lieutenant Jasprit Bumrah.

Ball 1: 1 Run - A low full toss on off from Bumrah and Rahul hit it straight to extra cover in the circle. KXIP - 1/0.

Ball 2: Wicket! Nicholas Pooran tried to hit the high full toss delivery from Bumrah and Anukul Roy took a brilliant catch running backwards over off-side. Pooran has his second duck in yet another super-over. KXIP - 1/1. Deepak Hooda came into the middle for KXIP.

Ball 3: 1 Run - Bumrah bowled another full-paced low full toss on Rahul's pad, the batsman plays it fine but the ball can't get past fine-leg and all he could get was take a single. KXIP - 2/1.

Ball 4: 1 Run: Bumrah bowled another pad-lined full toss to Deepak Hooda and the batsman mistimed it but the batsmen could only pick a single as KL Rahul wanted the strike. KXIP - 3/1.

Ball 5: 2 Runs: Bumrah continued showing why he's considered the best in the business, especially in the death overs as he conceded a couple to Rahul. Bumrah continued bowling one pacy yorker after another. KXIP - 5/1.

Ball 6: Wicket! Rahul tried an innovative shot on the final delivery to get a boundary off the reverse sweep, but Bumrah trapped him in front of the stumps. KXIP - 5/2. All out. MI needed six runs to win the super over.

MI batting: Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock came into the middle to score those 6 runs for their side and Mohammed Shami was asked to bowl.

Ball 2: 1 Run: Shami conceded just another single, this time to Rohit with a full-paced, full-length, on off but the batsman's chip shot produced him a single. MI - 2/0; 4 needed from 4 balls.

Ball 3: 1 Run: A wide yorker from Shami to QDK. The batsman directed the ball towards deep point and earned a single. MI - 3/0; 3 needed from 3 balls.

Ball 4: Dot Ball: Brilliant yorker from Shami as he bowls a well-directed delivery to Rohit's foot. Rohit could only guide it to the backward point but fails to rotate the strike. MI - 3/0; 3 needed from 2 balls.

Ball 5: 1 Run: Rohit tried to shuffle across and ramp it over the keeper and they pocket a quick one before Shami can clean up. Meanwhile, Rahul decides to review as well, the result turns in Rohit's favour. MI - 4/0; 2 needed from the final ball.

Ball 6: Run Out! Quinton de Kock tried to squeeze a double and take his team home but the fielder gathered the ball in time and threw it towards wicketkeeper's end. KL Rahul collected the ball and dislodged the bails before the batsman could make it to the crease. Replays confirmed he's out and it's a tie again. The match will witness another SUPER OVER. MI - 5/1.
