RR vs CSK Live Score: RR win by 16 runs: RR has won their opener against CSK by 16 runs.
Archer comes back in for his last over, and Faf takes a quick two. Both the batsmen rotate strike and then the South African gets on with business -- boom, a six over deep mid-wicket! But Archer has his revenge as he gets Faf caught out on 72. 38 needed off 7 now. All but over for Chennai now. Dhoni is on the other side on 9*. CSK: 179/5 (18.5 overs)
Faf du Plessis reaches fifty, hits three sixes!
Dhoni takes a single off Unadkat in the first ball, then Faf flays the seamer for a six over long-on. Two singles, and then Faf goes berserk! Two back-to-back sixes and the South African reaches his 14th IPL fifty. 58 needed off 18 now. CSK: 159/5 (17 overs)
Dhoni has come ahead of Jadeja this time. Has he got it in him, can he snatch a victory from here? It will be a very difficult task. The asking rate has surged up to 17.
CSK need sixes that is the order of the day and they have the batting in Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja, but again time is running out. CSK: 101/4 in 12 overs
IPL 2020 Live: Watson SIXXX… first off the night from a CSK player. Archer gets flicked on the leg side. It was a leg-cutter. After the slower, Archer comes back with two dot balls with pacy deliveries. Good over after being hit for a six. CSK: 25/0 in 4 overs
5 from the first over: Jaydev Unadkat has the new ball in his hand. He is keeping it slow for now, must have observed the nature of the pitch. Watson and Vijay are looking watchful to start with. Not long before they will cut lose.
IPL 2020 Live: Royals finish on a high! Jofra Archer makes hitting sixes look so easy, as he smashes Lungi Ngidi for four consecutive sixes. A total of 30 runs come from it as Rajasthan post a gigantic 216/7 on the board. CSK need 217 to win.
Sam Curran picks two wickets in same over as Riyan Parag tries to run it past the keeper, but ends up giving a catch to MS Dhoni. The CSK skipper dives to his right and collects the ball. RR: 173/6 (17 overs)
RR vs CSK Live Score: Robin Uthappa departs! Another wicket falls for RR and this time it is Robin Uthappa. The batsman charged down the track and connected it well, but unfortunate for him as it went straight towards CSK's safest candidate Faf du Plessis. The South African cricketer rarely makes mistake and he also makes the toughest catch look simple. This time he dives forward and collects the ball cleanly. Uthappa departs after scoring 5 from 9 balls.RR: 154/4 (15 overs)
Meanwhile, RR have added 150 in their total and with five more overs remaining in the contest, can they add 50 more?
