| 7:42 pmThat is it then from this game and the 999th game was truly a great one. Now, the focus shifts to the 1000th scheduled game of the Indian T20 League as Mumbai are going up against Rajasthan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. You can simply switch tabs and catch our coverage, Cheers! |
| 7:44 pmDevon Conway is picked for the Player of the Match award despite finishing on the losing side! The Chennai opener says that the pitch was a bit on the slower side and a score of 200 was really competitive. He is really disappointed to lose this match. Tells that he is trying to keep things simple with his batting and not complicate things. Shares that he works closely with Michael Hussey along with other experienced players in the camp. |
| 7:37 pmEarlier in the game, MS Dhoni won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first. This decision was well received as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway looked in fine form out in the middle. They added 86 runs for the first wicket and set the tone. Shivam Dube then came out swinging and got away a few big hits but it was Conway who played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 92 runs off 52 balls that gave Chennai the momentum. MS Dhoni dispatched the last couple of deliveries over the ropes and got Chennai to the 200-run mark. For Punjab, a couple of bowlers bowled well. Kagiso Rabada was one of them but he got hit for boundaries at the wrong time and the spinner Rahul Chahar did a decent job of curtailing the runs. Coming to the chase, it was topsy-turvy from start to finish but Punjab managed to make the blistering start with the bat count and crossed the line on the final delivery. |
| 7:35 pmChennai and their fans will be distraught with the result as it is certainly a tough pill to swallow. They had the runs on the board but didn't start well with the ball as their opening bowlers - Tushar Deshpande and Akash Singh remained ineffective. It was Ravindra Jadeja who changed the game in the middle overs by picking up wickets at regular intervals. Tushar Deshpande came back in the latter phases and did pick up wickets but went for runs as well. Matheesha Pathirana bowled a fine spell at the death but just came up short of defending 8 runs in the final over. |
| 7:30 pmWhat a game, and what a win for Punjab as they bolster their hopes of a playoff spot. Needing 201 to win, they started off in fine fashion with Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh going after the pacers in the Powerplay. The pair added on 50 runs in double-quick time before Dhawan got out. Punjab then lost a couple of wickets in quick succession before Liam Livingstone teed off. Livingstone though got out going after the pacers which left Sam Curran and Jitesh Sharma with quite some work to do. The pair tried their best and took the game deep before Sikandar Raza somehow managed to get the win off the final delivery, that too without hitting a boundary in the final over. |
| 7:25 pmHave you ever seen anything like it? Punjab pick up three runs off the final delivery and get a memorable win, going on to set the record for the highest run-chase at this stadium and they also go level on points with Chennai. |

TIMBER! Matheesha Pathirana knocks over Sam Curran and there's another twist in the tale here. Full and quick at almost 145 clicks and gets it right in the blockhole. Curran looks to back away and drive but is beaten by the pace and the slingy action. Curran gets beaten all ends up as the ball crashes into the stumps. 31 needed now off 17 balls. 170/5Jitesh Sharma(Wk) 21 10 2 1 210.00 c sub b Tushar Deshpande18.4 Tushar Deshpande to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! TAKEN! Oh, my God! One of the most dramatic catches we will ever see! Tushar Deshpande bowls another slower one, back of a length and outside off. Jitesh Sharma goes hard at it and tries to slog it away. The ball though comes off the toe end of the bat and skies it really high toward long on. The substitute fielder, Shaik Rasheed runs back and settles under it well to grab it. Unfortunately, Rasheed slips and his foot seems to have just brushed the boundary cushion. The third umpire checks it thoroughly and finds that the foot didn't touch the ropes. itesh haas to walk back! 186/6Shahrukh Khan2 3 0 0 66.67 not outSikandar Raza13 7 1 0 185.71 not outExtras 13 (W 6, LB 7) Total runs 201 (6 wkts, 20 ov) Yet to batHarpreet Brar · Rahul Chahar · Arshdeep Singh · Kagiso RabadaFall of wickets50/1 (S.

| 7:42 pmThat is it then from this game and the 999th game was truly a great one. Now, the focus shifts to the 1000th scheduled game of the Indian T20 League as Mumbai are going up against Rajasthan at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. You can simply switch tabs and catch our coverage, Cheers! |
| 7:44 pmDevon Conway is picked for the Player of the Match award despite finishing on the losing side! The Chennai opener says that the pitch was a bit on the slower side and a score of 200 was really competitive. He is really disappointed to lose this match. Tells that he is trying to keep things simple with his batting and not complicate things. Shares that he works closely with Michael Hussey along with other experienced players in the camp. |
| 7:37 pmEarlier in the game, MS Dhoni won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first. This decision was well received as Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway looked in fine form out in the middle. They added 86 runs for the first wicket and set the tone. Shivam Dube then came out swinging and got away a few big hits but it was Conway who played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 92 runs off 52 balls that gave Chennai the momentum. MS Dhoni dispatched the last couple of deliveries over the ropes and got Chennai to the 200-run mark. For Punjab, a couple of bowlers bowled well. Kagiso Rabada was one of them but he got hit for boundaries at the wrong time and the spinner Rahul Chahar did a decent job of curtailing the runs. Coming to the chase, it was topsy-turvy from start to finish but Punjab managed to make the blistering start with the bat count and crossed the line on the final delivery. |
| 7:35 pmChennai and their fans will be distraught with the result as it is certainly a tough pill to swallow. They had the runs on the board but didn't start well with the ball as their opening bowlers - Tushar Deshpande and Akash Singh remained ineffective. It was Ravindra Jadeja who changed the game in the middle overs by picking up wickets at regular intervals. Tushar Deshpande came back in the latter phases and did pick up wickets but went for runs as well. Matheesha Pathirana bowled a fine spell at the death but just came up short of defending 8 runs in the final over. |
| 7:30 pmWhat a game, and what a win for Punjab as they bolster their hopes of a playoff spot. Needing 201 to win, they started off in fine fashion with Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh going after the pacers in the Powerplay. The pair added on 50 runs in double-quick time before Dhawan got out. Punjab then lost a couple of wickets in quick succession before Liam Livingstone teed off. Livingstone though got out going after the pacers which left Sam Curran and Jitesh Sharma with quite some work to do. The pair tried their best and took the game deep before Sikandar Raza somehow managed to get the win off the final delivery, that too without hitting a boundary in the final over. |
| 7:25 pmHave you ever seen anything like it? Punjab pick up three runs off the final delivery and get a memorable win, going on to set the record for the highest run-chase at this stadium and they also go level on points with Chennai. |
