- IPL 2019 Final - Mumbai Indians (MI) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 1 run at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday.
- Mumbai Indians becomes the first Team to win the IPL four times.
- Earlier, Deepak Chahar (3/26) and Imran Tahir (2/23) starred with the ball as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) restricted Mumbai Indians (MI) to 149/8 in 20 overs, even as Kieron Pollard hit an unbeaten cameo (41* off 25) down the order.
- Pollard, who was dropped on 25 by Suresh Raina, was the top-scorer for Mumbai as he hammered 3-fours and 3-sixes. For Chennai, Sahardul Thakur also picked up 2-wickets for 23 runs.
- Just when Mumbai touched the three-digit mark, Tahir struck again as he accounted for the wicket of Kishan in the 15th over. Pollard and Hardik Pandya then shared a 39-run partnership in quick time as the former’s lusty blows propelled his side towards a modest total.
- However, while trying to accelerate the run-rate, Pandya became a victim of Deepak Chahar in the second last over
- Just a ball later, Deepak Chahar dismissed his brother Rahul Chahar, who didn’t bother the scorers. From there Pollard could manage to add just nine runs to Mumbai’s total, as his side somehow managed to post a fighting total.
