Lands it on a length again, outside off this time. Ali plays away from his body and looks to push it away. The ball catches the inside edge of his blade and shatters the stumps. Big, big wicket this as Moeen Ali is the man who can the game away in flash. Great start for Punjab!

Arshdeep Singh to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! Chopped on! What is happening out there? Chennai folding like a pack of cards. Arshdeep Singh bowls it around the top of off and this one just nips back a touch off the surface. Ravindra Jadeja is caught in two minds whether to come forward or go back and in the end, he does neither. The ball takes the inside edge and castles into the off stump. Chennai lose their fourth wicket inside the Powerplay and Punjab right on top of proceedings here.

Odean Smith to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! TAKEN! Ripper of a delivery from Odean Smith and even a better catch from Jitesh Sharma to get rid of Ambati Rayudu! Smith digs in a short ball at the body and Rayudu is completely taken by surprise. Rayudu tries to get out of the way but the ball comes off the gloves and goes towards first slip. Sharma does well to delay his dive as the ball got slowed down after hitting the gloves and then flies full stretch to his right and pouches it with both hands. Odean Smith is elated and Chennai in a spot of real bother here.

This is fuller on off. Dube goes for a big heave across the line but ends up getting a thick outside edge. The ball goes towards short third man and Arshdeep Singh there takes an easy catch.

Liam Livingstone to Dwayne Bravo, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! What a fantastic catch from Liam Livingstone and it has surely been his night, first with the bat and now with the ball! This is flatter one, on off. Bravo presses forward to defend but the ball loops up in the air towards left of Liam Livingstone. He moves to his left and then dives full stretch to take a superb catch. A moment of brilliance from Liam Livingstone.

Rahul Chahar to Dwaine Pretorius, OUT! TAKEN! Dwaine Pretorius is a goner and Rahul Chahar has the last laugh!

Pretorius looks to drag it over the mid-wicket fence but hits it flat and straight down the throat of Arshdeep Singh over there. Singh makes no mistake and Chennai lose their eight.

Rahul Chahar to MS Dhoni, OUT! TAKEN! What a review from the young Punjab keeper and MS Dhoni has to depart as well! Rahul Chahar spills it down the leg side and Dhoni looks to paddle it away. The umpire signals a wide straightaway. Jitesh Sharma though seems really excited behind the stumps and calls for the review, which is eventually taken. The ball seems close to the bat and the third umpire checks UltraEdge. There is a spike as the ball passes the bat and it's a brilliant take as well from Sharma behind the stumps. The on-field decision is reversed and Chahar picks up the wicket which all but seals it for Punjab.

17.6
Rahul Chahar to Chris Jordan, OUT! TAKEN! That's it, Rahul Chahar cleans up the tail and wins the game for Punjab. Shorter in length, around off. Chris Jordan goes deep in his crease and tries to muscle it over the long on fence. Jordan doesn't get much timing on it and hits it straight to Liam Livingstone who takes the catch and ends a stellar individual performance with yet another contribution. Chahar ends with three wickets. PUNJAB WIN BY 54 RUNS!
