After losing the 2011 finals, Bangalore faced Chennai to avenge their loss in Chennai. Mayank Agarwal gave a brilliant start as he scored 45 off the 51 runs the team had scored in five overs. Gayle and Kohli joined forces to smash the bowlers as they put on a 110-run partnership in 11 overs.

RCB ended the innings with a score of 205. Faf du Plessis batted beautifully on a hot day for Chennai as he was firm at one end. With required run-rate over 13 for the last nine overs, Dhoni's 24-ball 41 kept the team in the chase. But RCB was ahead with CSK requiring 43 runs off the last two overs.

Morkel exploded in the penultimate over as he smashed 28 runs off a Virat Kohli over. His three sixes and twin fours meant that CSK needed 15 off the last over. Dwayne Bravo scored a six and four to brighten CSK's hopes. With 2 required off the last ball, Ravindra Jadeja edged the very first ball he faced to a boundary to win the match out of nowhere.
