Chennai Super Kings 206 for 4 (Gaikwad 69, Dube 64, Hardik 2-43) beat Mumbai Indians 186 for 6 (Rohit 105*, Pathirana 4-28) by 20 runs
Sensational defensive bowling from Chennai Super Kings did what might have seemed unthinkable: successfully defend a total in the night at Wankhede Stadium. And it was not a huge total: pushed just over 200 by an MS Dhoni cameo of 20 off the last four balls of the innings after Shivam Dube had continued his dream season with an unbeaten 66 off 38.
For large parts it was a contest that fit the billing: between the two most successful teams in the IPL and two of three most popular teams. For large parts, it seemed the defending champions CSK would be outgunned. Jasprit Bumrah restricted them with four overs for just 27, the Mumbai innings looked like it was going smoothly, but Matheesha Pathirana started the comeback with two wickets in his first over.
Still, Mumbai were favourites going into the last seven, needing 83 with eight wickets in hand but, led by Pathirana, their fast bowlers executed their plans of making batters hit into the bigger part perfectly, eventually winning by 20 runs. Rohit Sharma scored a century but it was only to Mumbai’s detriment: he scored just 17 off 16 in those overs and then found another wind when the task had become mathematically impossible.
