00:00Here we go, it's toss time, one final time in the airport Champions League.
00:05Gautam Gambir, MS Dhoni, Andy Pykecroft, the match referee, all set.
00:10Gautam will spin the coin.
00:13Heads is the call, what's it Pykes?
00:16You've got a head.
00:18Heads it is, MS what have you decided?
00:20We are looking to bowl first, looks like a good wicket and also you know when you're doing a bit of feeling,
00:26we realise their chances that we may get a bit of view because already the grass looks a bit on the colder side and a bit of sweating is there.
00:33Have a good game gentlemen.
00:34So that's the news from the centre, it is the Chennai Super Kings who won the toss and they've decided to field first.
00:41Here we go.
00:45Good start.
00:49Superb delivery to Biggit, he's playing for the in-swinger there, Robilu Tappa, just carried on with the angle, it's a great start.
00:54A very strong offside feel and very tentative in the early part.
01:02Shot, beautiful shot, what a way to hit the first boundary, Robilu Tappa.
01:08Good indication of the pitch, the ball's coming onto the bat, it's in the half volley, got into a good position there.
01:14Robilu Tappa heading it through the line.
01:15Shot, on the pads, whipped away for four.
01:29Well he didn't hesitate one moment.
01:31Oh dear.
01:37The heave-ho, and it's a French cut.
01:40Looking mid-wicket, it's gone fine.
01:43It's a fine leg.
01:45Before.
01:48Oh goodness, what a shot.
01:51Four runs.
01:53Just the way KKR would like to end the over.
01:5629 without loss.
01:57He's not going to stop that though, it's gone for four.
02:05That's poor stuff from Mohit Sharma, no need to bounce him out, because it's a slow pitch.
02:13And good wake-up calling away for Gautam Damir, because he's just one stroke away from getting it together.
02:19Oh, lovely timing.
02:22This is a beautiful cricket shot.
02:25No post six here for Robilu Tappa, the first of the match.
02:29And he made it look easy.
02:31It's 47 for Olofs.
02:33Oh, this is sheer timing.
02:40There was no follow-through of the bat.
02:47Lovely shot.
02:48How good is that for placement?
02:51Once again, the emphasis on timing.
02:53Heaves it on the onside and finds the boundary.
03:02This is good tactics from the Knight Riders captain.
03:05Putting the pressure on the spinners.
03:07They're maintaining a fabulous run rate here.
03:10Already going at nine runs for over at the moment.
03:12Oh, beautifully played.
03:19Using the pace, there wasn't much whiff.
03:23You won't find it much better than that.
03:26Nine of the over.
03:27It's 79 without loss.
03:32Down the ground.
03:35Oh, it's burst through the hands.
03:39Of Dwayne Bravo.
03:39Usually, you will see guys competently push this back into play.
03:46Yeah, and therefore, if you keep that in mind,
03:48that perspective in mind of how good the fielders are by the rope,
03:52this really is an ordinary effort.
03:55Because he had time, really, to judge it.
03:57A wicket gone down.
03:58We'll go back upstairs to the commentators.
04:01Yes, the tougher goal is to play well for 39.
04:04It's 91 for one.
04:06You'll see the seat position hitting the deck.
04:0830 pounds, an easy take.
04:10And a stumping for Hermes Tony.
04:13Very well-bold young man.
04:14He deserved the cricket.
04:16Jack Callis has replaced Robin Utapah.
04:24Oh, they've been ragged in the field.
04:26Reiner was anticipating,
04:29and he went the wrong direction, simply put.
04:3250 for Gautam Gumbir.
04:40Jack Callis misused that one.
04:42Will it be taken?
04:44Nehra takes a good catch.
04:45Running in, judged it to perfection.
04:48Well, he plays this shot, Romney, well,
04:50but he must give credit to the baller
04:52for beating him in the flight,
04:53getting the ball to straighten
04:54and getting his second wicket.
04:58Very impressive for Nagy.
05:04Manish Pandey.
05:06It's been amongst the runs in this Champions League.
05:08That is a big hit.
05:13That is going to go.
05:14Oh, what a catch.
05:16This is an incredible catch.
05:20Timing the jump to perfection.
05:22Huff to Plessy.
05:23Looked to me as if it was going to go over.
05:27Acrobatic.
05:27He's not touched anything.
05:29Oh, he has.
05:30He has.
05:31That will be a six.
05:32So that will be a six.
05:33So Gumbi taking his chances.
05:37The hundred comes up.
05:39Hundred and five now for two.
05:44Shot.
05:45That's gone and done the distance.
05:49He's been in amazing strike form.
05:51Malcolm Gumbi started off cautiously,
05:53but boy, is he playing a knock of water.
05:56And a great start to be over.
05:58Really has picked the bones out of this little one.
06:03Great placement.
06:08Making pace was Gautam Gumbi because it was timed so well.
06:16Oh, that's delicately done.
06:1918 of the over.
06:20It's a great one for KKR.
06:23And Bravo will go back feeling hurt.
06:26136 footer.
06:31Yes, excellent batting.
06:33He knew exactly where the field was.
06:35Just waited on it.
06:39That's up in the air.
06:42And beautifully judged.
06:45Now Callum is such a good fielder.
06:48Judged it to perfection.
06:50His timing of the dive was good.
06:54He doesn't get to it.
06:57It bounces a bit on him as well.
06:58And in the end goes straight up in the air.
07:01He's hoping he's mishit it sufficiently for it not to get there.
07:05But McCollum is quick.
07:07And he makes the judgment.
07:08Stead is himself.
07:09And then takes the catch.
07:12Oh, dear.
07:13That's not a good start at all.
07:15Looking for the Yorker.
07:17Missed it by a long way.
07:18It's a no ball.
07:19And it's gone for four.
07:21Got a hold of that.
07:29And it's gone for six.
07:31Wonderful strike by Manish Pandey.
07:34Bringing up 150 for the Kolkata night riders.
07:37And that's why he's a dangerous fielder.
07:42He can produce shots out of nowhere.
07:45This is superbly timed.
07:48Down the track.
07:49On the up.
07:50Oh, he can only look.
07:51That's going into the crowd.
07:55Gone again.
07:57And six again.
08:01Pandey turning it on.
08:03It's also the angle.
08:04Going round this time.
08:05And coming into Manish Pandey.
08:06He's very strong on the leg side.
08:08And he plays a lot of cricket here in Bangalore.
08:10At this particular venue.
08:12He knows the pitch well.
08:13But full tosses don't matter to him.
08:16Yes, but he's taking Ashish Naira to the cleaners in this over.
08:22Catches the call.
08:24It's taken.
08:25McCullum running to his right.
08:27And Nagy does it again.
08:29Number three for him.
08:31He has had a superb time.
08:33Thirty-two.
08:37Really good runs those from Manish Pandey.
08:43It's a premeditated front foot move.
08:45And lack of length.
08:46He couldn't get the timing right.
08:47But McCullum wants to get in the action.
08:49Uncertain faces in the dugout.
08:51Nagy does well to begin the over.
08:52Oh, fantastic.
08:55Just brilliant.
08:56By Barnege.
08:58It'll be called wide.
08:59But who cares.
09:00He's out.
09:01And it was exactly what he intended to do.
09:05Always on the lookout for the man coming down the wicket.
09:08Tossed it wide.
09:10Tendash Skata gone.
09:11Five down now for 161.
09:13He saw the batsman stepping up and made the connection in line.
09:18Easy stumping in the end for MS Dhoni.
09:21All for 22 his figures.
09:26Got him.
09:27That's him.
09:28Gone.
09:31Five up for Pawan Nagy in the Champions League T20 final.
09:36Into the side in the game before.
09:41And kept his place for the final.
09:44And boy did he deliver.
09:51Four runs.
09:53Four to start things off.
09:55Dhoni went back to Nehra.
10:02That's gone for four as well.
10:04There it is, Siva.
10:05That angle you're talking about.
10:08Certainly worked in the favor of the batsman Patan that time.
10:15When he hits it.
10:18Generally it goes up the ground.
10:20Yusuf Patan.
10:22Making up for the last over.
10:24Where just two runs were conceded.
10:27See the KKR fans are up and jumping again.
10:3114 of the first three balls.
10:334-4-6 from Yusuf Patan.
10:36Here we go then.
10:37Final delivery.
10:41Reiner after it.
10:42Russell's quick gets back for the second.
10:50So.
10:51180 for six.
10:54Is what the Kolkata Knight Riders have managed to get.
10:58Putting a score on the board.
11:01In the final.
11:01Important to mention though.
11:04That start partnership between Uttapha and Gambia.
11:09Setting things up for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
11:12Good innings of 80.
11:14By Gautam Gambia.
11:15Super Kings need to get 181 if they're to win and become champions.
11:22Here we go then.
11:22Pat Cummings running in.
11:24And almost a chance Will.
11:27Has he hit the ball when he was trying to take that cash?
11:32No he says.
11:35Cummings gets a strong response from Dwayne Smith.
11:38A little shot.
11:40And he cut it in the air purposefully.
11:42Intentionally gets the boundary.
11:44But that's what's going to happen.
11:46If he just gives him a little bit of room.
11:48Dwayne Smith is just going to plother him.
11:51He's got the ball wicked to wicked.
11:54That is his best chance.
11:55Smith is looking to free his arms.
11:58He's just got a little bit of whip up too much.
12:00And he's deliberately hit it over the infield for a boundary.
12:07Dwayne Smith with another magnificent shot.
12:10This time it's an uppish drive.
12:12Overcovers.
12:14He's off and running.
12:15Two powerful strikes in the zone.
12:18Once again a little bit of room around the offstop.
12:21That's all that he's looking for.
12:22He's asking for a change of bat as well.
12:25The bat turning in his hands slightly.
12:28Could be the pace that Cummings generates.
12:31It's a yoga run.
12:32I think he's got him.
12:33He's got the big one.
12:35Dwayne Smith has played on.
12:37Looking at the toe end of the bat.
12:39He changed his stick.
12:40And I think he paid the price for it as well.
12:43Just didn't work this time for Dwayne Smith.
12:46A good Yorker.
12:49Maybe slower in pace was Pat Cummings.
12:52And that was an important change.
12:53The variation we've been talking about.
12:55Smith goes for eight.
12:56It's nine for one.
13:02But to get a Yorker as a slower delivery takes a lot of doing.
13:08And that is a very, very good Yorker.
13:10So now the left-hander is on strike.
13:14Suresh Rana.
13:16Pat Cummings has got pace.
13:17Over 5,000 runs.
13:18He's the key contributor for CSK.
13:22Oh, inside Agen.
13:23And well, narrowly past the stumps.
13:27Avoids the grab of the keeper as well.
13:29He's off with a boundary.
13:30Streaky one.
13:3013 for one.
13:36This is a terrific delivery.
13:39This one's balled at speed.
13:42And you could see that Rana was waiting for the short ball.
13:48That's a nice flick on the pads.
13:50He'll get a boundary.
13:52A soft delivery from Andrew Russell to finish the over.
13:5519 for one.
13:56That is the area that he's going to tighten up on now.
14:03Young Andrew Russell.
14:04Concentration is so important for a bowler as well.
14:08Oh, that's delightful.
14:09That is glorious.
14:10Now, you've got to stand up and applaud.
14:13And the best man to describe this drive has got to be Master Gavastra.
14:17Yes, it's a terrific drive.
14:19Look at the way the foot is gone positively towards the pitch at the wall.
14:26Makes room, punishes him.
14:30It's a grand six.
14:32Wow, wow, wow.
14:33Suresh Reiner has played that one brilliantly over point.
14:37Easily done.
14:38He's a magnificent striker of the ball in very small.
14:42Have a look at this shot.
14:45There has been no better shot than this tonight.
14:47It will be hard to beat.
14:49Look at how far it goes.
14:50You're not supposed to hit that length so far in this direction.
14:57This time straight to the fielder.
14:59Oh, no!
15:00Can you believe that?
15:02Oh, my goodness!
15:06Same fielder.
15:10It's not that the man's win were putting pressure on the field,
15:13or they weren't happy with the single.
15:16He's down there.
15:18What's he done?
15:19An awful six for you to bring up 50.
15:32Reiner doing it nicely.
15:35Well, they're playing luck with each other.
15:37They're for the same stage.
15:43Six runs.
15:45Picked up.
15:46Helped along.
15:47Fifty partnership comes up.
15:51Power play done.
15:52Sixty for one.
15:57Let's straight.
15:58There's an arrow.
15:59And gone for six.
16:01Just too good for a race run.
16:04Fourteen from the over.
16:05It's eighty-three for one.
16:09Shot.
16:10That's another fine shot.
16:11And a tremendous half-century that from Suresh China.
16:18Only twenty-seven deliveries.
16:19The previous ball that he had played.
16:22He used his feet, but didn't get too close to the ball because he was intending to lock it.
16:26This time he's got close to the ball because he was looking to fit it along the ground.
16:30Look at the use of the feet.
16:32He's got close to the ball.
16:32And again, a straight-bat shot.
16:35Brilliant.
16:36Absolutely brilliant.
16:39That's going up in there.
16:40This should be taken.
16:41Is it a catch?
16:43It is a six.
16:47It's Pat Kamenz who almost netted it.
16:51100 comes up for CSK.
16:52It wasn't a full-blooded Brendan McCullough shot, but did the job.
16:58Sixth number, triple two.
17:03He's a tall man, so he jumped at the right time, but he wasn't quite able to toss the ball.
17:14The big shot.
17:16Suresh Ryanah is playing a gem of a knot.
17:18In a final, he is making it look ridiculously easy, especially against the spinners.
17:26Hammered straight.
17:27Passed middle.
17:28Once again, look at him.
17:29Tremendous use of the feet.
17:32And a straight-bat.
17:39Oh, that is an awesome shot.
17:42Because he delayed the cut shot to find the gap.
17:45There were three men closing in on that angle through pride, and he beat two of them so well.
17:54And Ryanah goes big.
17:55This is massive.
17:58Six of the first ball.
18:01And this is really superb magic.
18:05It's been as clinical a performance from a batsman as you would want to see.
18:08And now he's presenting the full face of the bat.
18:1796 meters.
18:19He's dealing in success.
18:21And biggies.
18:22Again into the top tier.
18:27Once again, the surety of the footwork coming into play.
18:31Lovely, clean, straight hitting.
18:33He's going to take his chances.
18:43He's caught in the deep.
18:46And the breakthrough, finally.
18:50Just in the nick of time.
18:52KKR striking.
18:53McCullum goes for 39.
18:55127 for two.
18:56McCullum.
18:57Very good against the left-hand spinners.
19:00Going for the big one, hitting the two-end of the bat.
19:02Simple catch.
19:03He's a very good field at the deep.
19:07Oh, he's been brilliant.
19:09Every time he steps out, he clears the ground.
19:16Really is, this is not bad bowling.
19:19It's just super batting.
19:20Oh, squeeze away for four.
19:26Very unfortunate for Pat Cummins.
19:30Full of length.
19:32Decent pace.
19:33But that's what happens if you have the extra pace.
19:36There's a bit of an edge.
19:37And this was an edge, no doubt about it.
19:43Well played.
19:44Very well played.
19:46Applaud him.
19:47He is in magnificent touch, Suresh Reiner.
19:52He's got up top of the ball and hit it along the ground.
19:58That'll be it.
20:00That is 100th for Suresh Reiner.
20:04And the biggest stage of the Mystic T20s, he gets his third T20 century.
20:10Now he becomes the first player in the game to score 100 in the four formats that are there.
20:20He's got it in the T20 international.
20:23He's got it in the IPL.
20:26And he's now got it in the Champions League.
20:33Goes high.
20:35Very high.
20:38Goals for six.
20:39Another one for Suresh Reiner.
20:42One, seven, three for two.
20:53Once again, good use of the feet.
20:57This one had the elevation.
21:01It also had the distance.
21:02Is Dhoni going to finish it with a biggie?
21:08That's a six.
21:10The bottom end coming into play.
21:12Now the scores are level.
21:15No, I'm sorry.
21:16They need one more run.
21:17The helicopter shot.
21:18Fifty-five to fifty-two of thirty-three.
21:25Another flat one.
21:27Mahindra Singh Dhoni.
21:28The helicopters come out.
21:31Look at that box there.
21:32Boy, oh boy.
21:34Entire body weight into the shot.
21:37Dhoni and Suresh Reiner at the crease.
21:40They'll be putting their hands on this not too long from now.
21:44What a march it has been.
21:46He goes high.
21:46He goes long.
21:48And he goes for victory.
21:52Mahindra Singh Dhoni.
21:53And the Chennai Super Kings are the Opel Champions League champions for the second time.
22:04They win by eight wickets here at the Chineswami.
22:09And what a fitting way to finish the match.
22:13The skipper of the Chennai Super Kings.
22:15Finishing it with a huge six.
22:18Not looking to push the ball for one of the twos.
22:20That's the way he plays the game.
22:21He's an aggressive cricketer.
22:24And he finishes with a huge six.
22:31109 to Suresh Reiner of just 62 deliveries.
22:35Brendan McCollum was steady for his 39.
22:39Mahindra Singh Dhoni seeing things home.
22:42As the leader is wont to do.
