So that is it from this game. Another cracking encounter and Chennai win their third game in a row. For Virat Kohli's men, it keeps getting tough as they suffer their fourth defeat in their 6th game. The Indian T20 League continues tomorrow as Hyderabad take on Punjab in the former's den at 2000 IST (1430 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
MS Dhoni is given the Man of the Match as he rolled back the years and scored a match-winning 70 from just 34 balls.
Once again the Bangalore bowling failed to stand up in the death. Umesh Yadav was impressive first up and Yuzvendra Chahal spun a web around the visitors' batsmen in the middle. The two finished with combined figures of 8-0-49-3. They got no support from the rest as all the others were taken to the cleaners. Also the dropped catch of Ambati Rayudu cost them a lot as he added 21 runs after that. All in all, they suffer another defeat and this one is a game they might have felt they could have won.
Chasing a massive target of 206, Chennai got off to the worst start possible. They lost Watson in the first over itself. Rayudu and Raina did try and counter-attack but three wickets in quick succession saw Chennai staring down the barrel at 74/4. But then, Dhoni and Rayudu joined forces. They paced the chase extremely well and stitched a 101-run stand off just 54 balls. Both got to their half tons before the latter was run out leaving the Men in Yellow needing another 31 in 13. Then came out Bravo and he along with Dhoni finished it off with their skipper hitting the winning runs.
Phew! What a game, this Indian T20 League is throwing thrillers after thrillers and this is surely one of the best of this season. Take a bow, Dhoni. Take a bow, Rayudu! What an innings by the two. They came out when Chennai were down and out and have taken their side through to the top of the table.

Corey Anderson To MS Dhoni
SIX! Dhoni finishes it off in style! The best finisher, you bet he is. What a shot. What an innings. Vintage Dhoni is what he witnessed here. This is full and outside off, Dhoni shuffles across even before the ball is bowled, gets underneath it and smashes it into the mid-wicket stands. No reaction from him after that maximum, he is cool and calm as he receives a big hug from Bravo who comes rushing towards him as CHENNAI WIN BY 5 RUNS!

Corey Anderson To Dwayne Bravo
A single! This is short and outside off, Bravo cuts it to deep point for a run. 5 from 3 and Dhoni is on strike. Excitement at the highest level.

Corey Anderson To Dwayne Bravo
SiX! 10 from the two balls. It is not Dhoni, it is Bravo doing the job. 6 more needed from 4 balls. This is short and outside off once again. Bravo rocks back and hits it over covers, the place where he loves to go for a biggie.

Corey Anderson To Dwayne Bravo
FOUR! Ideal start! Anywhere will do. 12 needed from 5 balls. Chennai are now favourites I feel. Short and outside off, Bravo goes for the pull but gets a top edge which evades the diving keeper and into the fence. Pressure, pressure on the bowler now.
16 in the last over needed. Can arguably the best finisher in the game do it? He is not on strike though at the moment. Bravo is as Corey Anderson will bowl the last over. Can he keep his cool? Let us wait to find out...

Mohammed Siraj To MS Dhoni
Good delivery to end the over. Yorker on off stump, Dhoni digs it out back down the track and hits the stumps at the other end. It ricochets off them and rolls towards long on. Two runs taken.

Mohammed Siraj To MS Dhoni
Wide! Three in a row! Short of a length outside off, Dhoni swings and misses. But it's gone from the other side of the tramline. Still one delivery left.

Mohammed Siraj To MS Dhoni
Wide! Another wide. Pressure on Siraj. Spears a yorker wide outside off, across the tramline. Dhoni lets it be.

Mohammed Siraj To MS Dhoni
Wide! Banged in short but it's too short, the umpire raises his arms sideways. MS still has the opportunity to finish this over well. Or will he want to take a single and keep strike for the final over? Knowing him, he could do either.

Mohammed Siraj To MS Dhoni
SIX! He didn't even get properly under that but it still travelled the distance. Low full just outside off, Dhoni throws the kitchen sink at it and slices it over backward point for a biggie. Last ball, Dhoni needs to find the boundary.

Mohammed Siraj To Dwayne Bravo
High full toss on the stumps, Bravo swings and gets an inside edge onto his body. It rolls over on the off side for a run. The umpire doesn't signal a no ball, doesn't think it's too high.

Mohammed Siraj To MS Dhoni
Terrific bowling. Exceptional. Darts in a yorker wide outside off, Dhoni can only slice it out to point. Single taken.

Mohammed Siraj To Dwayne Bravo
Quite full on off, drilled to long off for just a single. Siraj has started this over well.

Mohammed Siraj To Dwayne Bravo
Precious, precious dot ball. Siraj lands it on a length outside off, Bravo has a wild swing at it but misses. The slight away movement did the trick.

Corey Anderson To Dwayne Bravo
The batsman has punched that ball through the off side. They pick up a single.
Dwayne Bravo walks into the middle next. 31 runs in 13 balls. He can't afford to take time to settle in. Has to go for it from the first ball.

Corey Anderson To Ambati Rayudu OUT!
OUT! Ambati Rayudu has been run out! Can this be the game changer, can this be the moment which turns the tide in Bangalore's favor? It is that man who dropped Rayudu who scores a bull's eye to get him run out. A yorker outside off, Rayudu jams it out towards point. Yadav there dives to his right and fumbles. The batsmen go for the second. Umesh picks the ball up and scores a direct hit at the striker's end. Rayudu dives in an attempt to get in. The players appeal and the umpire goes upstairs. Replays show that Rayudu is well short. He is given his marching orders and he is dejected. Nevertheless an excellent innings by him comes to an end and also the 101-run stand.
Direct hit and Bangalore seem to have got Rayudu! A run out appeal at the striker's end has been taken upstairs. BIG MOMENT IN THE GAME!

FOUR! Just over the man! Short and outside off, Rayudu this time cuts it over the point fielder. There is no one in the deep there and the ball races to the fence.

Length outside off, guided towards point for a run.

Corey Anderson To MS Dhoni
SIX! Fifty for MS Dhoni and it has come off just 29 deliveries. His 19th and what a shot to bring it up. Rolling back the years, this was vintage MSD. Full and on off, Dhoni powers it over the sightscreen for a maximum. Job not done though.

Corey Anderson To MS Dhoni
WIDE! This is way outside off, the pressure is getting to Anderson. He is trying to bowl to his field but this time bowls it a little too wide and the umpire stretches his hands.

Just short! Short and wide outside off, Rayudu reaches out for it and hits it towards sweeper cover who collects it on the bounce. A single taken.
