Here's my tag team partner, PDP, who will take you through the action to the end.
Sarthak: "So many extras! 2nd highest scorer for CSK today.. only flaw in today's exceptional bowling and fielding display by Mumbai" Lines can be missed when the objective is to find swing.
Yash: "Just tuning in after a long day at work... and I just cannot believe what I am seeing. Is it the pitch? Were MI exceptionally good/lucky? Were CSK exceptionally poor/unlucky? Please tell me... feeling quite disoriented." Bits of all. MI's bowling was exceptional. There was swing, the pitch assisted some of the slower balls from the quicks. CSK were unlucky with the LBW call first ball.
Prasad: "So, CSK's remotest chance to stay back in the competition is also almost gone now, isn't it?" Yep, it will be confirmed with a loss that looks to be on the cards.
Riley Meredith: Everyone bowled well, unbelievable effort. The ball was swinging even in the 7th and 8th over, definitely not complaining. It was a loose to ball to Rayudu but then I swung the ball and found the inside edge. Not a lot of pace off as it was coming through nicely and it was troubling them with pace on.
9:04 pm: Ă fter an LBW call went against their way, things fell apart for CSK. Moeen got a bouncer, the ball swung and MI's bowlers extracted it brilliantly. They hit the hard lengths when needed. Sams was exceptional, Bumrah was great and Meredith did a good job too. MS tried to salvage the innings after an initial collapse but the fall of wickets was regular. He pushed the score to 97. As of now, this looks like the perfect game for MI.

Kris: "This would be the biggest challenge for the score predictor" It's 106 now
