Right then, 221 to win in 20 overs for Kolkata. They have a very tough job in their hands and they need to bat really well if they want to chase it down. Chennai, on the other hand, would look to pick up some early wickets and put them on the front foot. Can Kolkata chase it down? We will find out.

Ruturaj Gaikwad says that he did not get off to a good start in the last three games but is pleased with his performance in the last three games. Adds that they just kept backing him and they found positives in his batting from the last game. Tells that Michael Hussey came and talked to him and he felt really good. States that it is the same attitude and the same intent. Goes onto say the pitch is holding up a bit.

Kolkata had another off day with the ball. They were taken apart by Gaikwad and du Plessis at the start and by Moeen, Dhoni and Jadeja towards the end. Pat Cummins had a disappointing outing while Prasidh Krishna and Andre Russell too did not have a great day. The spinners bowled with control but that was that. They have been completely hammered. They were not helped by their fielding as they committed a few misfields. Overall, a poor show with the ball.

Chennai started off with a bang as both Gaikwad and du Plessis were milking Kolkata for runs. Du Plessis was the aggressor at the start but Gaikwad was not too far behind and he started to attack the ball to all parts of the ground. He fell but du Plessis continued and registered a magnificent 95. There were some excellent contributions from Moeen Ali and Dhoni and a last ball six from Jadeja helps Chennai post 220 on the board.

End of a terrific performance from Chennai! They were brilliant and they have posted a very good score on this wicket. Yes, it is a very good pitch to bat on but it is not easy to chase down a score well above 200 on any wicket. Kolkata will be disappointed with how things have panned out.
