Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma is playing a fiery knock as one-down Mumbai Indians cruise in the chase of 177 runs against Chennai Super Kings at Wankhde Stadium. Earlier, Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja cracked half-centuries and shared a 79-run partnership for the fourth wicket as five-time champions Chennai Super Kings made 176 for 5. Dube struck 50 off 32 balls, while Jadeja made an unbeaten 53 off 35 deliveries to offset a none-too-impressive start by MS Dhoni's struggling side. Ayush Mhatre, who came in place of Rahul Tripathi for the match, struck a valuable 32 runs (15 balls) coming in at one-down. CSK, who are placed last in the 10-team table, made one change, bringing in 17-year-old Mhatre in place of top-order batter Tripathi. (Live Scorecard)
Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are the most successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), having won five titles each. However, both sides are going through a recent slump, failing to qualify for the playoffs last season, and currently sit in the bottom half of the points table. While MI are seventh with six points, CSK sit rock bottom with just two wins so far. CSK beat MI when the two sides met earlier this season, but that win came under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad.
The fans went hard on Pakisan's start batter Babar Azam after he failed to perform for his side during the second ODI match against New Zealand at Seddon Park, Hamilton. Chasing 293 runs against the Blackcaps, Pakistan lost their opening wicket in the form of Abdullah Shafique for just 6 runs on the board. This is when Babar arrived at the crease but his innings too could not last long. New Zealand's right-arm pacer Jacob Duffy dismissed Babar for the latter's individual score of 1 off 3 balls. It was a back of a length delivery from Duffy that square up Babar and ended up taking the outside edge of his bat to slip.

Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant felt his bowlers could have done the basics better at the back end as the target of 210 was defendable against a marauding Delhi Capitals who won by one wicket with three balls to spare in their IPL match on Monday. Ashutosh Sharma's 66 not out of 31 balls and Vipraj Nigam's 39 off 15 deliveries fashioned what looked like an improbable win after DC were dead and buried at 113 for 6. "I think our top-order batters played really well and I think it was a pretty good score on this wicket. We got early wickets, but we knew it was a good wicket to bat on. We had to keep doing the basics right more often. I think they had a couple of good partnerships," Pant said at post-match presentation ceremony.
