That is it from this game then! The final game of today follows and that will begin shortly. Do join us for all the action, till then, take care and goodbye!
Dan Lawrence, MAN OF THE MATCH for his excellent performance with the bat!
Deccan Gladiators started off well with the ball thanks to Josh Little but then their battles really went the distance. There were far too many poor deliveries and the fielding was also not upto the mark. Pooran will be disappointed with their effort.
That is a brilliant chanse from The Chennai Braves! Dan Lawrence was brilliant at the start with the bat! He really got them off to a flier. Malan fell but then Carlos Brathwaite came and continued the good work. HE smashed Russell for a huge over and that changed the game completely. Their stand took their side to the brink of vicotry and in the end, they have finished on top easily.
