Mumbai Indians (149/8) beat Chennai Super Kings (148/7) by a single run in a thriller to win the 2019 Indian Premier League on Sunday. The final came down to the last ball, with Lasith Malinga taking the wicket of Shardul Thakur.
The four-time champions did excellent work with the ball and slowed down Chennai's attack throughout the middle overs. Chennai Super Kings pushed the pace in the last five overs, however, and a game-changing mistake from Quinton de Kock had them on the verge of winning. With two runs needed from the last ball, Malinga came up with a massive wicket to win.
Mumbai continued their run of dominance and also they had previously won the title in 2013, 2015 and 2017. They're now the most successful team in IPL history, winning one more championship than Chennai.
