The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, India, will host the grand occasion, with both teams seeking to add to their illustrious records in the competition. They have each won the tournament on three occasions already, more than any other outfits in IPL history. Mumbai beat Chennai in the first playoff to book their place in the final, while the Super Kings qualified at the second opportunity, as they were comfortable winners against the Delhi Capitals on Friday. Here are the key viewing details for Sunday's match, the top run-scorers in the competition going into the game and a preview of what's to come from Hyderabad.

Preview While there's little separating the two finalists on paper, the manner in which Mumbai have qualified for the final will make them the favourites for many. In addition to finishing top of the table, they were comfortable winners over the Super Kings in the playoff game. They also beat Chennai on both occasions when the teams met in the group stage and have had extra time to prepare for Sunday's match. As statistician Mohandas Menon noted, the Indians have come out on top in the two most recent final meetings: The foundation of Mumbai's success this season has been the consistency many players within their squad have shown. While they don't have a star batsman, the team can rely on one of Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma or Hardik Pandya making an important score at a clutch point in the game. It's a similar story with the ball, with the likes of Lasith Malinga and Jasprit Bumrah effective in this format. The team Twitter account posted the following clip previewing the contest against their longstanding rivals: While this will be the fifth time the Indians have played in the final, it will be Chennai's eighth appearance. They are unlikely to be daunted, either, as they boast a team that's packed with experience. Two steady heads were key to them getting past Delhi on Friday, as opening batsmen Faf du Plessis and Shane Watson both made scores of 50 in pursuit of a small chase. Cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle commented on how the side has been able to overcome some adversity to get to the final yet again: Ayaz Memon praised their ability to pull out a big performance when it was necessary: Chennai skipper MS Dhoni will be hoping the experience that runs throughout the squad will settle any nerves on Sunday and ensure they play to a high standard. In Watson, Du Plessis and veteran bowler Imran Tahir, they have match-winners within their ranks. However, all the signs point to a Mumbai win. They've been more consistent throughout the 2019 IPL, have more variety in their lineup and will be the fresher of the two challengers on the day. After an unbeaten 71 against Chennai in the previous meeting between the two, expect Yadav to produce another key knock in the final and finish as the game's top run-scorer. Prediction: Mumbai to win<doc-sep>Captains corner MS Dhoni: I think the bowlers did very well for us. It wasn’t a 150 wicket but they managed to do so. Nothing agains the bowlers but batting could have been better. Rohit Sharma: We have a squad of 26 players and everyone came in chipped in for us. Our bowling this season was excellent. Bowlers brought up back in the tournament and today also.

Congratulations to @ImRo45 & @mipaltan for yet another crown! #IPL2019 #IPLFinal — Mustafizur Rahman (@Mustafiz90) May 12, 2019 Key moments of the match Sachin Tendulkar after the end of the match points out that MS Dhoni’s run-out was the turning point of the match. He also lauded Jasprit Bumrah for turning the match in favour of his team after an expensive over from Lasith Malinga. MI hold their nerves Mumbai held their nerves in the final over while Chennai couldn’t do so and perished. Shane Watson‘s run-out effectively cost them the game in the end as Shardul Thakur was trapped LBW on the last ball of the match. Mumbai once again recorded a comeback win in the final, same as they did against Rising Pune Supergiant couple of years ago. Mumbai Indians win Lasith Malinga redeems himself as he dismisses Shardul Thakur on the last ball of the match and with that Mumbai beat Chennai by 1 run in the end. Chennai fans cannot believe their luck as Mumbai lift the historic fourth title. They are now officially the most illustrious team in the history of the competition. Watson falls for 80 Poor piece of running between the wickets by the two batsmen and it has resulted in the wicket of Shane Watson at the non-striker’s end. Chennai now need 4 runs off 2 balls as Shardul Thakur comes out to bat. de Kock fluffs his lines Wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock lets the ball go in between his gloves for a boundary and bowler Jasprit Bumrah can’t believe his luck and nor could Rohit Sharma. de Kock hangs his head in shame as this should have been a dot ball. Chennai need 9 off the last over now. Bumrah strikes! Jasprit Bumrah once agains turns the match in favour of Mumbai as he gets rid of Dwayne Bravo on the second ball of the penultimate over. CSK need 17 off 10 as Jadeja joins Watson in the middle. What an over for CSK! Shane Watson is simply unstoppable at the moment as he hits Krunal Pandya for three massive sixes in the 18th overs. The first one went over extra cover, second flew straight down the ground and the third me muscled over deep mid wicket. 20 runs came from that over as CSK neeed 18 off last two overs. Excellent over from Bumrah Jasprit Bumrah keeps things super tidy as he bowls a four-run 17th over to pile on the pressure on the batsmen. Chennai now need 38 runs off 18 deliveries with Watson and Bravo look to up the ante in the final three overs. The match has gone right down the wire. Fasten your seatbelt folks as it is not going to an easy ride. Chahar drops Watson Rahul Chahar may just have dropped the IPL trophy as he drops a sitter at mid-wicket ropes. Watson top edged the ball straight down his throat but somehow he spilled it. MI players can’t believe their luck as Watson survives on 56. Fifty for Watson Shane Watson seems to have upped the ante in just the right moment as he hits Lasith Malinga for three boundaries in the over after Dwayne Bravo hit him for a huge six off the first delivery. Watson completes his half-century as Malinga concedes 20 runs off the over. Chennai are right in the game as the match heads for a close finish. Chennai need a big over Another good over for MI as Mitchell McClenaghan concedes just 3 runs off the over. Chennai now need 62 off 30 deliveries and one would feel that Mumbai are firmly on top of the match at the moment. Three wickets in quick succession have put MI in front in the match. Dropped Rahul Chahar had the chance to inflict further damage on CSK he drops a Shane Watson catch off his own bowling. Watson survives on 42 and this may just come back to haunt Mumbai Indians. Chennai need a partnership now to bail them out of trouble. Dhoni adjudged out Ishan Kishan hit the stumps directly from long-off after a mix-up between the fielders. Replays showed that Dhoni was just a metre out of the crease when the ball crashed into the stumps. Two angles were shown to the third umpire and it seemed inconclusive. Third umpire gave it as out after looking at the front angle which showed Dhoni was out of the crease. Chennai are four down now as Mumbai are on top at the moment. Dhoni starts steady<doc-sep>Rohit Sharma, MI captain: Throughout the tournament, we played good cricket. We spoke at the start, we need to break tournament into two halves. Once we got he momentum, we went with it. We know how frustrating it is. Credit to the entire squad. Somebody came at some point and played a part. I think our bowling was excellent. At different stages of the game, our bowlers put their hand up and brought us back in the game. We understood the conditions well and backed our skills. Malinga after going for so many runs, he came back. That is what champions do. He had confidence to pull this off. I wanted to back who has been in the situation before. I am learning every game , learning every tournament. It is important for these guys to step up and make the captain look good.<doc-sep>
