Back-to-back boundaries off Chahal. It's Sai Sudharsan who gets those boundaries. 12 runs coming off the over and a catch that came straight back at the bowler that went down. GT- 63/0 after 8 overs.
Ashwin with a 7-run over. 50 up for GT too who are 51/0 after 7 overs.

Sai Sudharsan gets the boundary off the first over. Otherwise a tidy one from Boult. GT- 5/0 after the 1st over.
It's Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill who open for GT. Trent Boult has the new ball for RR.
Time for a bit a break! GT did have luck going their way for sure but not to forget the misfield and the dropped catches which was in their hand. Take nothing away from Parag (76) and Samson (68) though who ensured that their team becomes the first one this season to not lose a single wicket through the middle overs. This will take some chasing from GT.
RR post 196/3 in 20 overs. Early wickets but the remarkable partnership between Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag for the third wicket worth 130 helping them post 196. Rashid Khan (1/18) the pick of the bowlers for GT who need 197 to win.
Wow. What a start to the final. A six each from Hetmyer and Samson. A single in between. 13 off the first 3 overs.
15 runs off the 19th over despite that wicket. A six from Parag,a four from Hetmter, the new man in, coming in that over.
Finally a wicket for GT. 130-run stand between Parag and Samson comes to an end as Vijay Shankar takes a good catch at long-off to see the back of Parag. He takes the catch, realises the momentum might take him past the boundary ropes so he lets go of the ball before coming inside and completing the catch. RR- 172/3 after 18.4 Overs. Parag falls for 76 off 48.
Mohit Sharma bowling the 19th over. How many more can RR add? Let's find out with two set batters out in the middle.
Good over from Johnson, given the stage of the game. 8 runs including a boundary off it. RR-162/2 after 18 overs.
Nothing going GT's way. Neither that decision, nor those chances as a chance goes down with the fielder stumbling at long on. Whatsmore the ball has gone for FOUR. Fifty for Samson. 52* off 31. RR-154/2 after 17 overs.
Confusion over wide call. It's given a wide by the on-field umpire. Shubman Gill reviews the decision and the third umpire can be heard saying that the batter has moved outside the normal batting stance, so the wide line also moves but ends up calling it a wide
Partnership worth over 100 between the two. RR have set the foundation for a strong finish. They are nearing 150 in the 17th over.
Misfield From Umesh. It goes for FOUR! Umesh just couldn't keep the ball in play and what should have been a single, gives FOUR to Parag. Mohit Sharma the bowler.
5 singles off his last over as Rashid bowls out. RR- 134/2 after 15 Overs.
Much needed for GT who need to break this partnership and find a way to pull it back a bit. Samson- 44* off 25, Riyan Parag- 56* off 36.
Samson On The Charge in this over. Two boundaries and a SIX in this over- all off the bat of Samson. Some exquisite stroke making none more beautiful perhaps than how he scored that second boundary towards the extra-cover region before ending the over with a SIX on a short-pitch ball. RR- 134/2 after 15 overs
Parag gets to another fifty. He has been lucky alright but he is making it count. For years, there were those who doubted Parag's ability but he is repaying the faith shown on him by the franchise. Gets to the landmark with a SIX off Mohit. His third fifty of the season. Sharma had earlier conceded a boundary with Samson playing an inside out stroke. RR fetch 14 runs from the 14th over. They are 118/2 after 14 overs. Riyan Parag- 55* off 35. Sanju Samson- 29* off 20.
Wrong line. It's on to the pads again and this time it has been deposited into the square leg region for a maximum. Second six of the over. Ultimately 15 runs come off the over. RR- 104/2after 13 overs. Noor Ahmad bowls out. Started off well but finishes with 0/43 off his four overs.
Parag smashes another six. In the slot on leg stump from Noor and Parag sends it past over midwicket for a maximum.
Mohit Sharma into the attack. Concedes 7 off his first. RR- 89/2 after 12 overs.
17 runs coming off the last 2 overs then. The third over each from Rashid and Noor with RR batters finding a boundary each in the two overs. Both from the bat of Parag.
Bit of sloppiness. First Parag smashes a SIX to break the shackles before a misfield from Mohit Sharma backing up on a throw at the bowler's end goes for four. 13-run over then from Noor. RR- 65/2 after 9 overs.
Superb passage of play this for GT. 9 runs off the last 2. First a 6-run over from Noor before a 3-run one from Rashid. RR- 52/2 after 8 overs. Riyan Parag- 7* off 12, Sanju Samson- 12* off 7.
Spin at both ends. The Afghanistani duo as Noor Ahmad has the ball in hand from the other end.
Eventually only 2 runs off the over and a wicket. Could have been another wicket too but a nick off Riyan Parag is dropped by Matthew Wade.
Rashid is introduced into the attack and makes an impact in his very first over. He gets rid of Jos Buttler. Rashid produces the edge from Buttler and it's caught in the slip cordon. RR- 48/2 after 5.4 Overs. RR- 42/2 after 5.4 Overs.
Back-to-back boundaries. Samson, the new man in, gets into business straight away. First a short and wide ball that is cut away for four before he allows one to get to him on middle and off before timing it towards the mid-wicket region for a boundary. 13 runs off the over with the help of those boundaries. RR- 41/1 after 5 overs.
Umesh Yadav gets a wicket. He banged the first one short which was punished by Jaiswal for a boundary before the left-hander tried to go for a scopp the very next ball but only managed to glove it behind the stumps where Matthew Wade completes a fine catch. RR-32/1 after 4.2 Overs,
Good over from Johnson. Concedes 6, without a boundary off it. RR- 28/0 after 4 overs.
It's Jaiswal again. He migght have failed to score off a bit of a freebie on the legs with fine leg inside the circle but Jaiswal ends over number 3 with back-to-back boundaries. Both through the off side. The cover-point region has been the one where he has done bulk of the scoring. RR- 22/0 after 3 overs.
It's Spencer Johnson from the other end. A well-placed boundary through the covers off Umesh in the first over and then one past backward point to end the second over which was bowled by Johnson. Both off the bat of Yashasvi Jaiswal. RR- 13/0 after 2 overs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler the openers for RR. Umesh Yadav has the ball in hand for GT. First over of the match coming up.
