It was a terrific nail-biter at Abu Dhabi. CSK needed just four from the last over but lost two wickets and could only manage three from the first five balls. Narine bowled superbly to take the game to the last ball but Deepak Chahar kept his cool to get the winning run on the last ball. KKR's winning streak comes to an end.

Wicket! Sam Curran c (sub)K Nagarkoti b Narine 4(4)

19:19 (IST)
After 19 overs,Chennai Super Kings 168/6 ( Ravindra Jadeja 22 , Sam Curran 4)
KKR were in the ascendancy but Jadeja has turned the game on its head. Poor execution from Prasidh.

19:07 (IST)
Dhoni out!
MS Dhoni b Varun 1 (4)
Excellent slower googly from Varun. He is brave with his bowling and is rewarded with Dhoni's wicket. The CSK skipper was looking to go big down the ground but the googly evaded his bat to hit the stumps.
19:04 (IST)
RUN OUT!
Suresh Raina run out (Tripathi/Varun) 11 (7)
Dhoni drives the fuller ball to long off and asks for a double. Good fielding from deep and Raina is caught well short of the crease at non-striker's end.
19:03 (IST)
After 17 overs,Chennai Super Kings 141/4 ( Suresh Raina 11 , MS Dhoni (C) (W) 0)
A single on Ferguson's first ball. He goes for a yorker on the second ball but ends up bowling a beamer that Raina evades. Free hit only accounts for a single. Moeen Ali's flick shot is saved at midwicket by Russell but he ends up injuring himself and is not fielding at the moment. Ali departs on the next ball with his slap-pull being taken by Iyer at long-on. Dhoni joins Raina now. 31 needed from the last three overs.
19:00 (IST)
OUT! Moeen Ali c Iyer b Ferguson 32 (28)

18:39 (IST)
After 13 overs,Chennai Super Kings 112/2 ( Moeen Ali 23 , Ambati Rayudu 4)
Russell continues and starts this over with a wide. He corrects his line and finishes the over after giving away five singles. Boundaries weren't an issue for CSK so far with Faf and Ruturaj guiding the chase but it will be interesting to see how Moeen Ali and Rayudu bat here. The required rate is still 8.57.
18:34 (IST)
After 12 overs,Chennai Super Kings 107/2 ( Moeen Ali 21 , Ambati Rayudu 1)
Morgan brings Prasidh back and the pacers respond with Faf's wicket. Ferguson who took the catch at deep point deserves more credit.

18:29 (IST)
OUT! Faf du Plessis c Ferguson b Prasidh Krishna 44 (30)
