- Chennai (192-3) beat Kolkata Knight Riders (165-9)
- Moeen becomes first Englishman to win IPL title
Moeen Ali became the first Englishman to win the Indian Premier League after Chennai Super Kings beat Kolkata Knight Riders in Friday’s final.
Ali, who announced his retirement from Test cricket in September, scored a 20-ball 37 as CSK set a target of 192 in Dubai. But despite an impressive start – with Shubman Gill (51) and Venkatesh Iyer (50) both making half-centuries – KKR slumped to a 27-run defeat. Captain Eoin Morgan scored just five runs on a disappointing evening.
