19.22 IST: And that's a wrap! Chennai Super Kings thrash Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 wickets.
19.18 IST: SIX! Three sixes in a row and 2 runs to win in 14 balls. Dhoni to finish it off again? Will it be deja vu for RCB once again?. Seems like it. CSK 126/4 in 17.4 overs
19.17 IST: SIX! Dhoni wants to finish the match in this over as he blasts the ball. CSK 120/4 in 17.3 overs
19.15 IST: SIX! Out of the blues! Unexpected and Dhoni smacks Chahal's delivery for a big one. It' getting intense now. 15 needed of 16 balls. CSK 113/4 in 17.2 overs
19.12 IST: Sliding down the leg side, on a length, Bravo fails to middle his attempted flick shot and it goes off his pads to backward square leg. The keeper runs after it and they cross for a leg bye.
19.08 IST: FOUR! Cut by Dhoni and that was sheer power by the skipper. CSK 100/4 in 15.5 overs
19.05 IST: SIX! Bravo finally stands up and smacks. Haven't seen that in a while but surely worth the wait. A step back and blast's Ashwin's delivery for a maximum. CSK 96/4 in 15.2 overs
18.59 IST: In the air... butter hands! Yuzvendra Chahal has dropped a sitter. Tossed up ball outside off, Bravo lofts it over extra cover. Chahal out in the deep runs across to his right but drops a sitter. Crucial moment in the game, this. A single picked up. Bravo gets two lives, can he make the most of it?
18.52 IST: OUT! Colin de Grandhomme removes Dhruv Shorey for 8. Another one gone! Are Bangalore coming back? Are they? Only time well tell. Short and wide outside off, Shorey looks to go hard at it. He cuts it but fails to keep it down and it's a simple catch to Mandeep Singh at backward point. Wasn't a wicket-taking delivery but Bangalore wouldn't mind it at all. CSK 80/4 in 12.2 overs
18.48 IST: MS Dhoni comes on to bat
18.47 IST: OUT! Murugan Ashwin removes Ambati Rayudu for 32. As far as my memory is concerned, I remember in the game against Kolkata he removed Narine on the very first ball of his spell. Drops it short, serves it wider on off as Rayudu goes hard at it. Gets a thick outside edge to spoon a simple catch to Mohammed Siraj at short third man. CSK 78/3 in 11.1 overs
18.42 IST: FOUR! Blasted by Rayudu to backward square-leg. That's hit with disdain! Poor delivery, short on leg and Rayudu pulls it with authority to send it away through backward square leg for a boundary. CSK 77/2 in 10.3 overs
18.40 IST: SIX! Massive! Dhruv Shorey gets his first taste in the 2018 IPL as he smashes Siraj on what was turning ut to be an impressive over. Siraj pounds in a short ball, a well-directed one but the debutant is up for the task. He tries to play the hook shot and gets it off the middle to dump it into the fine leg fence for a maximum. CSK 71/2 in 10 overs
18.30 IST: OUT! Clean take, take a bow Southee! Short of a length delivery on middle, Suresh Raina backs away and swings across the line. Doesn't get it off the middle and it goes towards long on. Seemed like it would clear Tim there but.... No. The tall Kiwi pacer leaps, takes it over his head near the rope. Now the momentum takes him over the line so he shows good awareness as he lobs the ball up, goes inside the rope and then comes back to take it again. Never easy to take those but he has made it look really simple. They however, take it upstairs and the TV umpire is happy with Southee's effort. 66 needed from 68 balls. CSK 62/2 in 8.3 overs
18.28 IST: FOUR! Just helping it away! Short of a length delivery around the leg stump, Raina hops across and tucks it off the hips fine down the leg side. Runs coming thick and fast for the hosts. CSK 62/1 8.1 overs
18.21 IST: SIX! Up and over long on! Stays leg side of the ball, gets it in the arc and swings across the line. Seemed like the long on fielder would be interested but the ball goes well over him and into the fence. This should get Raina going . CSK 48/1 in 6.4 overs
18.18 IST: FOUR! Beautiful! 16 off the over. That was begging to be hit! Dropped short on leg and Raina makes the most of it. Goes deep in the crease and pulls it through square leg for a boundary. CSK 42/1 in 6 overs
18.17 IST: SIX! He's smoked that! Just ahead of a length on middle, Rayudu picks the length early, swivels a touch and send sit sailing over the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen. He is in some form this season and is continuing it again. CSK 38/1 in 5.5 overs
18.16 IST: FOUR! Nicely done! Stays back to a length delivery and hits it elegantly over mid on. De Villiers gives it a chase but the ball wins the race. CSK 32/1 in 5.4 overs
18.16 IST: Short of a length delivery outside off, Ambati Rayudu steps out of the crease and flat-bats it towards mid off. Yadav fumbles and concedes one. RCB 26/1 in 5.1 overs
18.12 IST: 5 overs gone and Chennai play it slow. The RCB bowlers have restricted the batsman well in the powerplay so far. CSK 26/1 in 5 overs
18.03 IST: OUT! Umesh Yadav removes Watson for 11. Chennai Super Kings 18/1 in 3 overs vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (127/9) in Pune
18.01 IST: SIX! Top edge and it sails over! Rayudu gets off the mark in a streaky manner. Yadav digs in a short ball, angling in on middle and leg. Ambati swivels a bit to pull but the ball gets big on him. Takes the top edge and flies over the fine leg fence for a biggie.
17.58 IST: Yuzvendra Chahal to Shane Watson, No run. Yes, a maiden for Chahal! Googly, flatter through the air and turning back in with some bounce. Watson backs away but chops it to cover.
17.53 IST: FOUR! Glorious! Pitches it up outside off, Watson leans ahead and drills it through the gap at extra cover. Away she speeds to the fence. Good start for Shane! CSK 8/0 in 0.4 overs.
17.51 IST: FOUR! Watson starts CSK's proceedings with a boundary. Just can't bowl there to Watson, he loves width and he cashes on to it. Back of length ball outside off. Watson sits back and square cuts it through the point region for a boundary.
17.50 IST: Welcome back for the run chase. Should be a stroll in the park for the hosts one would feel. Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu to open again for the Men in Yellow. Tim Southee to open the attack for Bangalore.
17.38 IST:
17.36 IST: CHENNAI SUPER KINGS NEED 128 RUNS TO WIN vs RCB
17.35 IST: RUN-OUT! Mohammed Siraj departs in the last ball of the innings and that's and end to RCB's total.

17.00 IST: OUT! Stumped again by Dhoni's quick hands and this is Harbhajan's second. The first wicket of his was also stumped and Bangalore are collapsing. Is there anything behind the line?
