CSK 147-4 (18 ovs) vs Mumbai 162-9

Ravindra Jadeja comes in ahead of Mahendra Singh Dhoni with CSK needing more than 10 per over from the last four overs.

Pattinson comes back into the attack. The first ball is down the leg side as Jadeja glances it fine for a four before he swings at the next, just for a single.

Du Plessis then pulls the short ball for two runs before he miscues the lofted shot over the off-side but it falls safely between three fielders.

Jadeja then hits a wide delivery past point for a four as they still keep in touch with the asking rate. He keeps strike with one from the last ball with CSK needing 29 from 3 overs for victory.

Left-arm spinner Krunal is back into the attack. He strikes first ball with the wicket of Jadeja, who is trapped leg before wicket for 10.

Interesting as Sam Curran now comes out ahead of Dhoni. The left-hander goes off the mark with a single and du Plessis picks one off the next.

The move to promote Curran pays off as Curran swings a full toss from Krunal over midwicket for a six. He then crashes the next over the covers for a four before picking one off the last ball.

The match is firmly in CSK's grasp with 16 needed from 2 overs for victory.
