Indian Premier League - Final

Kolkata Knight Riders v Chennai Super Kings

Kolkata Knight Riders won by 5 wickets (with 2 balls remaining)

3.1

Shakib Al Hasan to Hussey, SIX, top-edged but that has gone over fine-leg for six, it was round the wicket, bit shorter, and he sweeps it away over the short fine-leg fielder for a maximum

Chennai Super Kings 23/0   MEK Hussey 16* (14b 1x4 1x6)   Shakib Al Hasan 1.1-0-9-0

5.1

Lee to Vijay, SIX, short of length and slapped over the bowler's head for a six! Gives himself room, moves to the leg stump and times it rather well, it was not a slow ball either at 142.5 km/hr

Chennai Super Kings 41/0   M Vijay 16* (11b 1x4 1x6)   B Lee 2.1-0-19-0

5.5

Lee to Hussey, SIX, couple of steps and six! This was always going to be an interesting move, bringing Lee back and he has been taken to the cleaners now, goes down the pitch to a ball outside off and hits over the mid-off fielder for a six

Chennai Super Kings 53/0   MEK Hussey 30* (21b 2x4 2x6)   B Lee 2.5-0-31-0

11.5

Kallis to Raina, SIX, and we have the Raina heave over midwicket, all is well with CSK, Raina has taken on a shortish delivery just outside off and walloped it high into the crowd over deep midwicket

Chennai Super Kings 103/1   SK Raina 8* (4b 1x6)   JH Kallis 2.5-0-22-0

13.4

Pathan to Raina, SIX, YK drops it short, and Raina thumps it over his hitting zone, deep midwicket

Chennai Super Kings 123/1   SK Raina 25* (14b 1x4 2x6)   YK Pathan 0.4-0-12-0

15.2

Lee to Raina, SIX, this is CSK's night now, more and more, Raina is heaving without a care in the world, staying in the crease and smacking a short of a length ball just over the deep midwicket rope

Chennai Super Kings 143/1   SK Raina 42* (21b 3x4 3x6)   B Lee 3.2-0-39-0

16.3

Narine to Raina, SIX, and that is the final confirmation of CSK's dominance today, a Narine tossed up ball has been slaughtered miles and miles over deep midwicket, the Raina slog-sweep, working smoothly, fifty up for him as well

Chennai Super Kings 154/1   SK Raina 52* (27b 3x4 4x6)   SP Narine 2.3-0-20-0

18.5

Narine to Raina, SIX, take that, no one is stopping CSK today, not even Narine, Raina seemed to pick the offbreak up as he charged out and lofted it cleanly down the ground

Chennai Super Kings 180/2   SK Raina 66* (33b 3x4 5x6)   SP Narine 3.5-0-35-0
