IPL 2018 CSK vs KXIP Live
A disappointing season for skipper Rohit Sharma comes to an end as they lost their final round robin game by 11 runs against Delhi Daredevils. DD won two matches in a row and finish the season on a high.
MUMBAI INDIANS ARE ALL OUT FOR 163. OUT FROM THE TOURNAMENT!
Ben Cutting's cameo comes to an end as he departs on 37. He tried to go for another six but mistimed the shot and Harshal Patel gets the wicket. Glenn Maxwell takes the catch. MI need 12 runs in 4 balls with one ball remaining.
Mumbai Indians need 18 runs in the final over. Ben Cutting is on strike and DD skipper Shreyas Iyer has given the ball to Harshal Patel. The first ball has been hammered for a six. 12 needed in 5 - Ben Cutting could be a hero tonight
18.1 - 1
18.2 - 0
18. 3 - 1 - Chance to get Ben Cutting run out by Rishabh Pant slipped and failed to collect the ball
18.4 - 2 -
18.5 - 1
18.6 - OUT! Mayank Markande is clean bowled - Bye Bye!
5 runs and a wicket in the penultimate over by Trent Boult! He might have just saved the match from DD.
Mumbai Indians need 23 to win in 12 balls. Boult and Plunkett each have an over remaining. Good thing for Mumbai is that Ben Cutting is on strike. He will face Trent Boult. Massive over this one for Mumbai. This could be make or break for Mumbai.
Mumbai Indians need 23 to win in 12 balls. Boult and Plunkett each have an over remaining. Good thing for Mumbai is that Ben Cutting is on strike. He will face Trent Boult. Massive over this one for Mumbai. This could be make or break for Mumbai.
It has now become Ben Cutting vs Delhi Daredevils. He hammers the first ball of Liam Plunkett for a four, and the pressure returns to the bowler and the fielding side. This could be the over that does it for Mumbai. Cutting could be the hero MI need tonight. A six on the second ball, by the way
GAME. SET. MATCH. Amit Mishra strikes in his final over and the danger man Hardik Pandya is gone for 27. This is a massive wicket. MI 122/7 in 14.5. Still need 53 to win in 31 balls with 3 wickets in hand. Mumbai Indians are staring at an early exit.
Rohit Sharma is gone and as he tries to go for a straight six, but Glenn Maxwell and Trent Boult combine again to take another relay catch. What is happening on the field? DD drop catches, and now they have taken two brilliant catches in exactly the same manner. Sharma has to go and MI are starting at a defeat now. MI 121/6
MI have reached the 100-run landmark and it has taken them 12.1 overs to reach here. It has come at the cost of 5 wickets. Rohit Sharma is in the middle, but he looks slightly uncomfortable in the middle beacuse of a dodgy shoulder. He has to bat through if MI wish to win and survive in the tournament.
WICKET! Sandeep Lamichhane gets another one as Krunal Pandya plays a cover driver straight towards the substitute fielder Rahul Tewatia at covers. Third wicket for the Nepalese bowler. Mumbai Indians are in serious trouble now. MI 79/5 in 10 overs.
WE HAVE SEEN ANOTHER ONE OF UNBELIEVABLE CATCHES! Kieron Pollard hammers it for a straight six, but the ball finds Glenn Maxwell, who takes the ball, but realises he is going over the ropes - he throws it towards Trent Boult, before crossing the ropes. MI have lost two in two
Evin Lewis was batting tremendously and he has given away his wicket to Amit Mishra. Mishra bowls a slower ball, entices Lewis to come out of the crease, the ball turns and Rishabh Pant was quick to grab it and take down the stumps. He departs after scoring 48 runs in 31 balls. BIG WICKET! MI 74/3 after 9 overs
Lian Plunkett almost dismisses Kieron Pollard who played a shot towards the off side. Abhishek Sharma jumped towards his right to take the catch. But the ball plucked out of his hands. It would have been a terrific catch if it was taken.
Kieron Pollard edged the ball to Prithvi Shaw who made a mess of it and dropped the delivery. An eventful over from Amit Mishra who dismisses Ishan Kishan on the first ball and then almost dismisses Pollard in the next two balls. MI 61/2 after 7 overs
Ishan Kishan has given away his wicket. He was batting on 5 in 11 balls, tried to up the ante, goes big but a sensational catch from Vijay Shankar sends him back to the pavilion. MI 57/2. Amit Mishra picks up a wicket on his first ball just after the powerplay.
Mumbai Indians have reached 57/1 at the end of the powerplay. There were 17/1 in 3 overs and in the next three overs, Evin Lewis showed his power with the bat as he hammered three fours and three sixes. Mumbai Indians still need 118 runs in 14 overs to win.
Evin Lewis has shifted gears now and he has hammered 33 runs in 2 overs with 3 fours and 3 sixes. Mumbai Indians reach 50 runs in 5 overs, and now the target looks very achievable from here on. DD need to get Lewis out if they want to end season on a winning note.
Harshal Patel gave away an expensive over as he gives away 17 runs in the over with Evin Lewis striking two boundaries and a six. He was also dropped in this over, so everything is happening in the middle. Mumbai Indians reach 34/1 after 4 overs. Lewis is looking dangerous
Ishan Kishan has played 6 balls and has not opened his account yet. Evin Lewis has scored 2 off 2, and Mumbai Indians have reached 14/1 in 2 overs. Slow start from Mumbai, but there is still plenty of time and a lot more batting fire to come up.
Sandeep Lamichhane makes a comeback after being hammered for 12 runs in the first 3 balls as Yadav tried to go big again but a brilliant catch from Vijay Shankar ends his innings. Early blow for Mumbai. Rohit Sharma is injured, so there might be a shuffle in the innings.
Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis open the innings for Mumbai Indians. They are chasing 175 runs for a win. Amit Mishra to begin with the ball. First is a four, then Yadav with a six, top start here.
The equation is pretty simple - Delhi Daredevils reach 174/5 in 20 overs. Mumbai Indians need to score 175 in 20 overs to win and enter playoffs. With a higher net run rate than Rajasthan Royals, they do not need to worry about NRR.
Rohit Sharma has injured his left arm while trying to save a boundary. He has gone off the field and is currently being tended to by medical doctors. It still remains to be seen how serious the injury is, but he looks to be in serious pain.
A six from Abhishek Sharma in Vijay Shankar's over sees Delhi Daredevils reach 150 in 18th over. Still two overs to go. Abhishek Sharma will look to take the total close to 175-180.
Rishabh Pant is GONE for 64! BIG WICKET! Krunal Pandya pitched a slow delivery and Pant misjudged the timings. Tried to hit it for a six but it could only find Kieron Pollard at long on. A beautiful innings comes to an end. Pant is congratulated by his U-19 captain Ishan Kishan as he walks back. DD 139/4
Rishabh Pant was adjudged LBW in Hardik Pandya's over but Pant was quick to ask for a review as it looked that the ball pitched outside. The replays confirmed the assumption. DRS comes to Pant's rescue. He welcomes the decision with a four and a six in the next two balls.
Rishabh Pant scores his fifth fifty in seven innings in this season of IPL. This one came off 34 balls. He needed four fours and two sixes to reach the landmark. He has been leading a sole battle for DD at the moment with Vijay Shankar playing the supporting role. DD 120/3 after 15 overs.
Mustafizur Rahman has twisted his ankle as he attempted to stop the ball from his feet. He appears to be in serious pain and the medical staff came down in the middle to assess his condition.
Rishabh Pant's massive six off Fizz takes his total score in this season of IPL to 667* and now he surpasses Kane Williamson (661) to become the leading run-scorer in the tournament. The Orange cap returns to an Indian cricketer - for now.
Last 5 overs:-
Runs - 32
Wickets - 0
Run Rate: 6.4
Delhi Daredevils need to find a new gear. In 14 overs, DD are 107/3 with Vijay Shankar and Rishabh Pant still in the middle.
Shreyas Iyer's dismissal caused DD's run rate to slow down and Vijay Shankar decided to take the onus on himself to do something about it. He hammers Ben Cutting for a massive 82 m six. Skipper Iyer will hope the six will release the pressure and open the run rate. Meanwhile, a single from Pant, and 100 up for DD in 12.3 overs.
We are half way through Delhi Daredevils' innings, and the match is even stevens at the moment. DD are maintaining a run rate of 8 with Rishabh Panth scoring at a fast pace, in spite of losing three wickets. DD are 83/3 in 10 overs.
Mayank Markande strikes and Delhi Daredevils skipper Shreyas Iyer is gone. Iyer mistimed a short delivery and went for a maximum. But the timings were not perfect and the ball just found Krunal Pandya at deep midwicket. HUGE BLOW! DD 75/3
Rishabh Pant has got off to a flying start once again, as he attempts to surpass Kane Williamson and get back the Orange Cap. He has already struck four boundaries and a six and has managed to settle DD after two early dismissals. It has calmed skipper Shreyas Iyer on the other end. Pant on 30* in 16 balls. He need to get 16 more to become the leading run scorer.
Delhi Daredevils were 30/0 in 3 overs. But they managed only 16 runs in the remaining 3 overs of the powerplay and lost two wickets of Prithvi Shaw and Glenn Maxwell. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are in the middle as they attempt to rebuild Mi's innings. MI 46/2 in 6 overs.
Glenn Maxwell is GONE! And a good start from Maxwell has gone to waste as Jasprit Bumrah rattles the stumps. He departs on 22 from 18. Delhi Daredevils lose both their openers after a fiery start. DD 38/2
RUN OUT! Terrible running from Prithvi Shaw in between the wickets, as Mumbai Indians allrounder Hardik Pandya took a shy at the stumps in the non-strikers end and hit the stumps bang on! What was Shaw thinking? Lazy running. Maxwell looked shocked at the striker's end.
5,9,2,5,1. These are the scores Glenn Maxwell has produced in his last five innings for Delhi Daredevils. He looks to be in a good shape today as he has already scored 16 runs in 10 balls with three boundaries. Now, with a good start, the Australian needs to continue on and show that he still is a world-class cricketer.
5,9,2,5,1. These are the scores Glenn Maxwell has produced in his last five innings for Delhi Daredevils. He looks to be in a good shape today as he has already scored 16 runs in 10 balls with three boundaries. Now, with a good start, the Australian needs to continue on and show that he still is a world-class cricketer.
Delhi Daredevils have started strong with both Shaw and Maxwell scoring boundaries at regular intervals. The duo have taken DD to 20/0 in 2 overs and with a run rate of 10. Solid start for DD, and Rohit Sharma have to think of something quick. The game is a must-win for MI.
Prithvi Shaw went hard and fast on a delivery from Jasprit Bumrah, but he edged it and the ball went towards Suryakumar Yadav at first slips. But he misjudged the height and the ball went above his hands for a boundary. If Yadav had jumped a bit, he might have taken it. Opportunity missed.
Guess who comes out to open with Prithvi Shaw? Rishabh Pant? Shreyas Iyer? Nope. It is none other than completely out of form batsman Glenn Maxwell. It is the second time he is opening. He was run out on 2 the first time DD attempted it. Krunal Pandya starts with the ball for Mumbai Indians. HERE WE GO!
Mumbai Indians make one change as well. Rohit Sharma says that Mitchell McClenaghan has a shoulder niggle. Mustafizur Rahman replaces him.
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Suryakumar Yadav, Evin Lewis, Ishan Kishan(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Ben Cutting, Mayank Markande, Jasprit Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman
Delhi Daredevils make one change and it is Liam Plunkett who comes into the side for Avesh Khan.
Delhi Daredevils (Playing XI): Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Glenn Maxwell, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Harshal Patel, Amit Mishra, Liam Plunkett, Sandeep Lamichhane, Trent Boult
Rohit Sharma: Nothing changes for us, we need to restrict them to as little as possible. We are aware of these conditions, so we just have to play good cricket for 40 overs now that we know that we are bowling first and we need to restrict them to as little as possible.
Delhi Daredevils win the toss and elect to bat first.
Shreyas Iyer: There seems to be no grass on the wicket. It seems a bit dry, so we will look to put a big score on the board. We have been batting first in the last few games as well so we are confident of putting up a good score.
Gautam Gambhir has not been included in the playing XI for Delhi Daredevils since he decided to remove himself from the captaincy. With the side already out of the tournament, should Gambhir get a chance for redemption against MI?
Delhi Daredevils are already out of this season of IPL and have little to play for. The danger man tonight will be Rishabh Pant, who is currently in the second position of the Orange Cap list and need just 42 runs to match up to KL Rahul. With him not getting selected for the Ireland and Afghanistan series, the youngster has something to prove, and he will try his best to reach the landmark to end up with the Orange Cap till the conclusion of round robin matches.
Mumbai Indians key player has to be the seamer Jasprit Bumrah. Skipper Rohit Sharma must be so pleased with the youngster, who has silenced his critics with an impressive show later in the latter half of the series. Bumrah was awarded man of the match in the previous game after he dismissed KL Rahul in the penultimate over and gave just 6 runs against KXIP. He can be the game changer and MI need him to deliver in the do-or-die game.
Tonight is a double-header for the IPL fans, and after suffering four losses in a row, Kings XI Punjab have a shot at redemption when they take on Chennai Super Kings in Pune for their final match in the round robin games. The stakes are simple - In or Out. CSK are already through and have a little to play for. KXIP need a massive win to not only earn the precious points but also boost their Net Run Rate.

Mumbai Indians are the third team in contention for entering into the Playoffs, other than Rajasthan Royals, who defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore last night and Kings XI Punjab, who will face Chennai Super Kings tonight. But the road to the final four is not that easy - To know more, CLICK HERE
Delhi Daredevils: Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Glenn Maxwell, Vijay Shankar, Abhishek Sharma, Harshal Patel, Amit Mishra, Sandeep Lamichhane, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan
Mumbai Indians: Evin Lewis, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Ben Cutting, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah, Mayank Markande
Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya put in a shift in the gym when not on the field.
Kolkata Knight Riders sealed a third spot for themselves by condemning Sunrisers Hyderabad to a third consecutive defeat. Royal Challengers Bangalore's elimination was then confirmed when they lost to Rajasthan Royals.
This is it! The final matchday of what has been a roller-coaster ride of a group stage in this year's IPL. On one side are Delhi Daredevils, the hosts who were knocked even before this race for the top four spots started truly heating up. On the other are Mumbai Indians who looked like they are out of contention midway through this stage, as they do almost every year, but have since run through the rest of their matches like hot knife through butter and are well poised to take the final playoff spot. Interestingly, though, Delhi have looked a better side since their elimination was confirmed and have even managed to beat Chennai Super Kings in their previous match, although that game was as dead as a dead rubber could get. But, here they are facing a team who have only victory in their minds and have not slacked off one bit.
