Opting to bowl, MI bowls out CSK for 97 with a fast bowler Daniel Samso (3/16 in 4 overs) huffs and whispers to overhaul the small target of 98 while running up the top order of the MS Dhoni-led side, taking three quick wickets, and then with 31 balls to spare.

MI had earlier dropped four wickets for 33 runs in the fifth over. Tilak Verma (34 not out off 32 balls) and Hrithik Shuken (18) put on a 48-run partnership for the fifth wicket to calm tired nerves. MI reached 103 for 5 in 14.5 overs.
Tim David remained unbeaten on 16 runs in just seven balls.
With their eighth loss in 12 matches, CSK are out of the play-off spot. He finished ninth with eight points.

Having crashed out of the race for a play-off berth not too long ago, MI finished 10th and bottom with three wins from 12 matches.
Both CSK and MI have two crucial matches left to play. This will be the first time in IPL history that neither Mumbai nor CSK will be part of the play-offs.
Defending 97, Mukesh Choudhary (3/23) struck Ishan Kishan (6) off the fifth ball of the opening over well with his body to see Dhoni see through a thin edge behind the stumps.

Choudhary then gave Daniel Sams (1) and Tristan Stubbs (0) hope of a CSK miracle in the fifth over in a span of three balls.
After the powerplay, MI scored 36 for 4 and Hrithik survived after a fond review.
Moeen Ali broke the fifth-wicket partnership between Verma and Shoukhin in the 13th over, but it was too late as MI needed just 17 runs in 7.2 overs.
Earlier, Sams had broken up CSK’s top order from which the Dhoni-led side could never recover.
Riley Meredith and Kumar Karthikeya took two wickets each, while Jasprit Bumrah and Ramandeep Singh took a wicket each and CSK’s innings ended in 16 overs.
CSK’s woes were further compounded with the non-availability of the Decision Review System (DRS) due to a power cut at one of the floodlight towers at the Wankhede Stadium after the start of their innings, during which they lost three wickets, including two LBW decisions.
Captain Dhoni played single handed for CSK in his innings of 36 not out off 33 balls with the help of four fours and two sixes. None of his colleagues supported him in his pathetic batting performance.
Dwayne Bravo (12), who shared a 39-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Dhoni, was the second-best batsman in CSK’s innings. But for the 15 extra players accepted by the Mumbai bowlers, the total for CSK would have been very small.
In the end, Dhoni ran out of partners.
Conway, who played a match-winning 87 in CSK’s match against Delhi Capitals, hit the pads on the second ball of the innings bowled by Sams. The umpire raised his finger though the ball hit him just below knee roll and it looked like it was going down leg. There was no DRS, and Conway had to go to zero.
Two balls later, Moeen Ali (0) made another Sams delivery to Hrithik Shukan to take a catch at short midwicket, as CSK were down two for five in the opening over.
It was Bumrah’s turn to join the party as he dismissed Robin Uthappa (1) who could not ask for a DRS review of the LBW decision.
CSK got some respite after a 10-ball devastation but Sam was not done yet as they removed opener Ruturaj Gaikwad (7), who dismissed Ishan Kishan from behind the wicket on the first ball of the fifth over. After the powerplay, CSK scored 32 runs for 5 wickets.
After Shivam Dubey was dismissed in the seventh over, Dhoni and Dwayne Bravo slowed the procession in the dressing room as they took CSK to 72 for 6 at the end of the 12th over.
But CSK were back to square one as Bravo, Simarjit Singh and Mahesh Thekshana were reduced to 87 for 9 at the end of 15 overs in the space of eight balls.
