That is it from me, Suneer Chowdhary, and I leave you with some food for thought for the Pune fans from Madan: "Scoring just one boundary in the last 7 overs made all the difference in the end."

I will be back for tomorrow's solitary match between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Till then, have a good time ahead!

Presentation in a few minutes.

Dhoni: The dew was an issue, the spinners weren't getting too much turn, glad the fielding was good, took some good catches. We have been playing here last five years so we don't worry about the heat too much.

Ganguly: Shoulder's alright, landed on my chest actually. MS batted well towards the end, we needed a big over to get on par but did not get. We will have a look at what went wrong after the game.

Kulasekara is the man of the match, good to win the game, the batsmen and bowlers did a good job. I try my best to swing the new ball and that is what helped me get the early wickets.

Chennai batted well at the top through their openers, du Plessis and Badrinath and then they did well to end the innings on a high thanks to their captain MS Dhoni. Then the bowlers bowled well, with all bar Jadeja getting at least a wicket. Kulasekara's 2/10 in two overs and Bravo's 2/28 in four were standout performances with the ball.

Although I have to agree with Dwayne Bravo who says that they cannot single out anyone for the win, such was the team-effort around the victory.

Chennai have six points from six games, which is the same as three other teams. Only two teams, Delhi and Rajasthan have eight points.

1
Dwayne Bravo to Bhuvneshwar, 1 run

slower ball, gets an edge to third-man and Chennai have avenged their defeat at the hands of Pune in the previous game.

Dwayne Bravo to Bhuvneshwar, 1 wide

short and wide and it is called wide by the umpire.

19.5
1
Dwayne Bravo to Kartik, 1 run

full pitched once more and it is drilled away to the sweeper by Kartik for only a single. Right so, for a change we have seen two good overs, the penultimate and the last.

19.3
1lb
Dwayne Bravo to Bhuvneshwar, 1 leg bye

full-toss, collision, football, it was all happening there! Full-toss, not above waist height though and they want to take a quick single, Bravo rushes off, kicks the ball on to the stumps, misses but collides with Kartik...who falls away...

Dwayne Bravo to Kartik, 1 run

pitched right up, yorker-length and Kartik manages to get some bat to it and is off for a single

Kartik comes in

19.1
W
Dwayne Bravo to Angelo Mathews, OUT

full-toss, leg-side and that should have been flicked away to the leg-side for a four. The fine-leg was inside the ring, but Mathews seemed surprised by that delivery and misses getting any bat on it, the leg-stump lies flat on the ground.

Angelo Mathews b Bravo 27 (22b 1x4 0x6 33m) SR: 122.72

21 off the last over and Bravo has the ball.

18.2
W
Bollinger to Smith, OUT

gone, caught! Pitched right up to the bat and Smith goes for the big one, gets a lot of height and du Plessis balances himself well at long-on and catches it rather well!
