He then misses the glance and gets just a leg bye to short fine leg as Steyn gives nothing away.

Steyn drops short as Dhoni pulls it over midwicket for a six to race to his fifty from 35 balls.

He takes a single from the fifth ball before Bravo clips the last ball over midwicket for two runs.

Saini to bowl the 19th over. Dhoni slaps the first ball to sweeper cover but interestingly turns down the single which would have brought back Bravo on strike.

He then pulls the next ball to long-on and again doesn't take the single.

Saini then oversteps and also bowls a short wide delivery which Dhoni slashes over thirdman for a six.

He lofts the next ball over the bowler's head for two runs before he turns down the single yet again but takes the run to long-off off the fifth ball.

Bravo has a big swing off the last ball as he gets the edge and is caught by Parthiv as he is dismissed for five.

Umesh to bowl the final over. He starts with a short ball which Dhoni pulls over square leg for a four. The next ball is again short and this time Dhoni pulls it over midwicket for a huge six, sending the ball out of the ground.

Umesh pitches it up as Dhoni slams it straight down the ground for another six, beating the leap from AB on the long-off fence.

He swipes the fourth ball on the leg side and takes two runs to make it eight needed from two balls for victory.

Umesh gifts a full toss which Dhoni swipes over midwicket for the third six of the over... 2 needed from the last ball for victory

Umesh beats Dhoni with the slower ball as he fails to get bat on ball and Parthiv gets the all important direct hit to run out Thakur.

RCB edge past CSK by one run in a thrilling finish off the last ball of the match.
