12.5 Pandya to Watson, OUT! Dhoni is inches short! Body blow to Chennai and Mumbai will be feeling on top. Hardik serves a short ball on middle, Watson tries to pull it but fails to middle his shot properly. It probably goes off his gloves towards square leg and they cross.

Coming to the delivery, McClenaghan tries to reopen those old scars of Raina by digging in a short ball. Suresh is caught in a tangle and awkwardly tries to fend at it. His eyes are off the ball as it sails over him, going very closely past his gloves. Quinton de Kock collects the ball and tosses it up in celebration. The bowler also turns in appeal and the finger has his finger up. Raina is quick to take the DRS and the Ultra Edge finds nothing.

6.3 McClenaghan to Raina, wide

6.2 McClenaghan to Watson,Slower length ball on off, angling away at 117 kph, Watson stays back footed and dabs it down past backward point to third man. He jogs across to the other end for a single.

That is more than a competitive total on this surface. 150 might look less on paper but in a final, this is mighty big. Probably, Mumbai will feel that they are 10 runs light but if dew does not take effect, which should not, the bowler for the Men In Blue should come out all guns blazing.
