12:15 PM IST - Unbelievable game of cricket. Two Super Overs for the first time in IPL history. Both teams were not ready to give up but at the end of the day, KXIP managed to keep their nerves. 

12:09 PM IST - Chris Gayle arrives to the crease with Mayank Agarwal. A full-toss from Trent Boult and he hits it for a maximum. The next one is short and Gayle manages to pick a single. Mayank slams the next couple of balls for consecutive boundaries to win it for KXIP.

11:54 PM IST - Second Super Over. Batsmen and bowlers cannot be repeated. Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard come out to bat. Chris Jordan to bowl for KXIP. Yorker on the first ball and Pollard hits it towards long-on for a single. Next ball is a wide. Low full-toss from Jordan and Hardik takes a single on the second ball. Pollard hits a boundary on the third ball which is followed by another wide. A run-out on the fourth ball, Pollard retains the strike but Hardik departs in what was never a second run. The fifth ball is wide and outside off and Pollard tries to reach out for it. There's an appeal and the umpire gives it out only to reverse the decision later as Ultraedge shows no spike. The final ball is heaved over long-on but Mayank's effort at the boundary means MI just get a couple of runs. 11 runs.

11:38 PM IST - Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock walk out to bat for the Super Over. Shami will be bowling for KXIP. Quinton starts off with a single. Rohit hits it towards covers for another single. A wide yorker on the third ball and Quinton plays it towards deep point for a single. Yorker on the fourth delivery and Rohit cannot find the gap. Dot ball. The MI skipper tries to hit across the stumps but couldn't connect. Just a bye as two runs needed off the last ball. Quinton hits it towards covers but couldn't get a double. Another Super Over. Unbelievable cricket!

11:29 PM IST - KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran walk out to bat. Jasprit Bumrah dons the ball for MI in the Super Over. Rahul takes a single on the first ball.

Hooda hits one towards backward square leg and KL Rahul refuses to take a double. Bumrah then bowls back-to-back yorkers, double on the first ball and LBW on the next. MI have their task cut down for the Super Over as Bumrah concedes just five runs.

11:17 PM IST - Nine runs needed off the final over. Hooda hits it towards square leg but a superb dive from Coulter-Nile keeps it down to one. Boult gets the yorker on point in the second ball but an inside edge off Jordan's bat runs away for a boundary. Two singles in the next three deliveries reduce the equation to 2 runs required from the final ball. Jordan hits it towards long-on but Pollard is quick. Quinton hits the stumps right away as the match enters into a Super Over.

He's taken off the field by the physio as Anukul Roy comes in for him. Things continue to go rough for MI as Rahul hits a boundary through point. Hooda then gets a bouncer away for a six over fne leg. A top edge but he will take that.

10:46 PM IST - Krunal comes into bowl his second over. A decent over except the one odd ball that is a full-toss and Rahul hits it towards extra cover for a boundary. 52 runs needed off 30 balls.

10:40 PM IST - One brings two for MI. Maxwell goes for a duck as he edges one to the skipper at first slip who makes no mistake. Chahar gets his second wicket. Good comeback after getting hit for a six by Rahul on the first ball.

10:32 PM IST - Rahul Chahar bowls a tight over for a change, conceding just three runs. Rohit brings Bumrah into the attack as MI look to stop this pair. He repays the faith of his captain and succeeds in breaking the partnership. Created the pressure with two dot balls. Pooran tried to hit the shorter one only to find long leg.

9:31 PM IST - Trent Boult dons the new ball for MI. After a single from KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal hits a boundary to get off the mark. The third ball goes outside off and there's a huge appeal from the bowler. Rohit and Quinton are unconvinced and decide to not go for the review. Ultra Edge shows a spike and Boult was spot on but unfortunately has to get on with it.

9:19 PM IST - After Quinton's dismissal, it seemed MI may have to settle for a lower total. But both Kieron Pollard and Nathan Coulter-Nile had different plans. A brilliant unbeaten partnership of 57 runs from just 21 balls. They have completely swung the momentum in MI's favour with the amazing finish.

9:17 PM IST - Krunal Pandya: "The wicket is on the slower side. 176 is a great total on the board. Me, Hardik and Pollard have been playing together for the last five overs and are very flexible in the batting order. When we lose early wickets, I generally walk out to bat. As Pollard told earlier, we are the engine of the team. It's not an easy wicket to bat as the bowlers are getting help. Just need to go out there and execute our plans."

9:12 PM IST - Jordan to bowl the final over. Pollard slams him for a massive six over deep mid-wicket on the very first ball. That was 93 metres. This is followed by two singles and a double. Pollard then finishes it off with another massive six and a boundary. The last six was 98 metres long. 20 runs from the last over.

9:07 PM IST - Shami comes into bowl the penultimate over. Coulter-Nile starts with two doubles. The second ball was a short one and he hit it high in the air but falls in no-man's land. He then hits two boundaries off the last three balls, both coming off shorter deliveries. 12 runs in the over.

9:00 PM IST - Kieron Pollard gets into the act as he smashes two consecutive sixes off Arshdeep in the 18th over. First one over long-off and second one a bit wide of long-on. NCN also joins the party with consecutive boundaries. 22 runs in the over for MI.

8:54 PM IST - Jordan gets the all-important wicket of Quinton. After two singles in the first couple of balls, the wicketkeeper batsman tried to go big but couldn't clear the deep mid-wicket boundary as he finds the fielder there. MI in a spot of bother. Nathan Coulter-Nile gets off the mark with a double. 

8:47 PM IST - Shami comes back in the attack and gets the better of Hardik who finds Pooran at point. Kieron Pollard comes into bat at number seven.

8:40 PM IST - Krunal's dismissal doesn't provide much respite to Murugan as Quinton hits him for a four over covers and then follows it up with a maximum towards the long-on boundary.

8:35 PM IST - Ravi Bishnoi breaks the fourth wicket stand in his second over. Krunal who tried to sweep him for a big one ends up finding Hooda at deep square leg. New batsman Hardik Pandya doesn't take much time as he starts off his innings with a six over long-off.

8:19 PM IST - Murugan Ashwin starts off with two googlies. Krunal misses out on the first one but cuts the second one past first slip for a boundary. In the final delivery, Krunal again goes for a boundary, this time towards deep backward point. Halfway into their innings, MI are placed at 70/3.

8:10 PM IST - Chris Jordan joins the attack. After playing a couple of dot balls, Krunal slams it over deep extra cover for a six. He then hits Maxwell for a boundary at the same region in the next over. This is followed by three singles and a dot ball as Maxwell finishes his four-over quota.

8:05 PM IST - Maxwell continues to bowl after the powerplay and concedes just three runs. There was an appeal for caught behind for Krunal but the ball touched the ground rather than the foot as it was being suspected.

7:55 PM IST - Ishan Kishan gets going with a boundary towards cow corner off Maxwell. Arshdeep starts the next over with a short and wide delivery.
