CSK had won the toss and elected to field first. They made three changes to their team as Shane Watson, Karn Sharma and Lungi Ngidi replaced Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir and Monu Kumar Singh. KKR made one change as they got an extra batter in the form of Rinku Singh replacing Prasidh Krishna.

Left handed southpaw, Nitish Rana opened the innings with Shubman Gill and made a watchful start before Rana hit two fours and a six in the final over of the powerplay as KKR scored 15 runs in the over to move to 48/0. In the next over, the two completed a fifty-run stand for the opening wicket. Karn Sharma, who came into the squad was brought into the attack in the eighth over, broke the partnership after he destroyed Gill’s timber against a soulfull defence. Sunil Narine was brought in up the order this day at 3. Mitchell Santer then had Sunil Narine caught in the deep as CSK picked two wickets in quick succession. CSK continued with the spin in the middle overs. Ravindra Jadeja provided CSK their third wicket after Rinku Singh got out in the 13th over. Nitish Rana who was looking very tidy with the bat this day brought up his third fifty of the season in the next over before KKR moved past hundred in the 15th over. KKR then accelrated their score as Rana took on Karn Sharma, tonking the leg-spinner for three consecutive sixes.The left-hander added two more fours against Deepak Chahar in the 17th over. However, Lungi Ngidi got Rana out after he failed to judge a slower one and was caught by Sam Curran. He had scored 87 off 61 balls. Dinesh Karthik replaced Rana in the middle and got going straightway, hitting two fours from the first four balls he faced. He and Eoin Morgan then hit a four each in the penultimate over as KKR eventually posted 172/5 on the board.

Needing 173 runs to win, CSK made a solid start as Ruturaj Gaikwad, played some amazing strokes. Both Gaikwad and Shane Watson scored 44 runs in the powerplay. The duo completed a fifty-run stand in the eighth over. But the partnership was broken soon as Varun Chakravarthy’s got the better of the batsman and was holed in the deep. In came Ambati Rayudu and CSK started to slowly progress towards the runchase. KKR introduced Nitish Rana in the attack. Ambati Rayudu creamed three fours in the over to push CSK past 70. In the next over, Gaikwad hit a four and a six off Lockie Ferguson. Soon, Gaikwad brought his second successive half-century. CSK crossed their hundred and Gaikwad-Rayudu completing a fifty-run stand.KKR though started to pull back the things as Pat Cummins and Varun Chakravarthy scalped a wicket each in the 14th and 15th over, dismissing Rayudu and MS Dhoni, respectively.In the next two overs, CSK scored 18 runs and brought down the target to 33 off the last 3 overs, with seven wickets in hand. Cummins then picked his second wicket of the match after Gaikwad got out for 72, after the right-arm disturbed the timber.
CSK needed 30 runs from 12 balls to seal a win and Ravindra Jadeja turned it on and did so in some style.The all rounder hit two fours and a six in the 19th over as CSK scored 20 off the penultimate over bowled by Lockie Ferguson. With 10 needed in the last over, CSK could score 3 from the first four balls. But with 7 needed from the last two deliveries, Jadeja smashed two sixes as CSK sealed a stunning win.
