We are back for the chase! The players are out in the middle. Faf du Plessis and Anuj Rawat will open the batting for Bangalore.
... THE RUN CHASE ...
Shivam Dube is down for a chat. He says that he was keeping things simple, and he is used to this ground and he was disciplined in his batting. Mentions that MS Dhoni told him to keep calm and watch the last delivery and play accordingly. Says that it's been dry today, not much dew and that is good for them. Adds that Robin Uthappa and he were trying to attack the shorter side of grounds and were picking the right bowlers to hit.
Not the best day on the field for Bangalore! They were on top at the end of the Powerplay. But post that, it's been only Chennai. All the bowlers were taken to the cleaners tonight. It's been tough for them. Josh Hazlewood was exceptional in his first two overs, but coming back for his second spell even he was hit all over. Wanindu Hasaranga did manage to grab two wickets but it was all too late for them. They have a mountain to climb from here now.
A clinical performance from Chennai! After losing Moeen Ali and Ruturaj Gaikwad early in the innings. Chennai were in a spot of bother. Shivam Dub came in and started firing from the word go, he scored 95 runs off just 46 balls. Robin Uthappa took his time to settle in, but when once he was set, there was no stopping him and he went on to score 88 off just 50 deliveries. The duo put together 165 runs and guided Chennai to a score of over 200 runs. They have given the bowlers a lot to fight with now. Chennai have a golden opportunity now to clinch their first victory.
Carnage, absolute carnage! It was raining boundaries! This is exactly what they needed! After a disappointing start, they have put a mammoth total of 216 on the board. Bangalore needs something special now to chase this down.
