Over 17. no runs. Bowler: Ravichandran Ashwin. Delhi Daredevils: 136/10(rr 8.00)

OUT! Run Out. Ashwin to Aaron. Off break length ball, to leg on the front foot working, bat-pad to short leg, direct hit by Dhoni. And the match ends with a whimper as Aaron looks for a run that was never there. Dhoni moved across, discarded a glove and threw the stumps down with Aaron just short as he tried to get back. Jayawardene played a brilliant innings, but it was hardly noticed given the immense target set for the Daredevils. Early wickets pegged the chase back, and the pressure eventually broke the back of the Delhi challenge as they had no option but to play some risky shots and take some suicidal runs. Ashwin had the best figures while Jakati finished with two wickets. Even going at ten to the over, he went at less than the initial asking rate. So Chennai advance to Sunday's final against Kolkata, who must be quite perturbed at the standard of Chennai's play in these closing games. The only consolation for the Daredevils is that they will be going to the Champions League later this year. Vijay earns the Man of the Match award for his brilliant innings.

Jakati to Yadav. Stock length ball, to leg on the front foot driving, well timed to long on for 1 run, fielded by Vijay. The final time-out is called, a bit belatedly. Perhaps umpire Doctrove has seen enough of Delhi limping to defeat and just wants to get it over and done with.

OUT! Stumped. Jakati to Gupta. Stock length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, missed to wicketkeeper, fielded by Dhoni. He waited a while to face that first ball, but is hopelessly stranded way down the pitch as the innings continues to implode.

OUT! Bowled. Ashwin to Jayawardene. Off break length ball, to leg on the front foot reverse sweeping, missed. That looks like goodnight for Delhi, as Jayawardene tries that reverse sweep but sees the ball hitting the top of middle and leg.
