Time for the chase! The two umpires stride out in the middle. Rohit Sharma, the Mumbai skipper, walks out to open the innings along with de Kock. Deepak Chahar to begin with the ball for Chennai. Here we go...

Right! Chennai have got a massive score on the board. However, the track looks superb for batting. Mumbai have a strong batting unit but it is not going to be easy. Early wickets will be key for Chennai. Let's see which way the game goes. Chase coming your way shortly.

Moeen Ali is down for a chat. He says that the conditions are good and they batted well. Adds that they have to take the conditions into account and play accordingly. Says that Rayudu played an amazing knock when the situation was tricky. Adds that they will look to take early wickets as Mumbai has a strong batting lineup.

Mumbai opted to bowl first after winning the toss and Boult with a wicket in the first over proved the decision right as he got rid of Gaikwad. However, after that, the bowlers were spanked all over the park. It was Pollard's 2-wicket over that brought them back in the game. But they failed to apply the pressure after Pollard was taken off as Rayudu smashed the other bowlers all over the park. Bumrah was taken apart in his 4 overs as he gave away 56 for his 1 wicket. Boult and Dhawal too weren't spared. And now, their batters have a big target to scale.

The start for Chennai wasn't a good one as one of their in-form openers was dismissed for just 4, in the first over. However, Faf continued his form and so did Moeen. The southpaw took the aggressive route and took the bowlers on. The duo added 108 between them with Moeen getting dismissed in the 11th over after getting to his half ton. Faf too reached the milestone but soon joined Ali in the pavilion. Suresh Raina got out without doing much and 112 for 1 soon became 116 for 4. If Mumbai thought they can now force Chennai on the back foot, they were wrong. Rayudu walked in and went bang, bang. He got to his 50 in just 20 balls, with the help of 5 gigantic sixes. And he kept going. His 27-ball 72 has powered Chennai well over 200.

Take a bow, Rayudu! What a sensational finish from him. 82 from the final 5 overs and Chennai have put on a mountain of a total. What a brilliant effort from them. They didn't start well and got going. They lost track again but Rayudu has finished things in a blazing style for them.
