Watch IPL Final Live Online: Chennai Super Kings Vs. Mumbai Indians, T20 Cricket Championship Match


Cricket fans can watch the thrilling IPL 2015 Final live online as Chennai Super Kings face Mumbai Indians in a rematch of the 2013 Indian Premier League championship match — a match won in that year by Mumbai. The 2015 IPL Final will be held for the second time at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The first time that storied cricket ground hosted an IPL Final was also the 2013 game between Chennai and Mumbai.

To find out how to watch the Chennai Super Kings vs. Mumbai Indians IPL Final live online to see if Chennai can become the first team to claim a third IPL championship, or if Mumbai will win their second, see the information at the bottom of this article.

The IPL Final match is scheduled for Sunday, May 24, at 8 p.m. Indian Standard Time. That’s 10:30 a.m. United States East Coast Time, 7:30 a.m. Pacific.

Mumbai qualified for the Final by defeating Chennai in the first playoff qualifier match last Tuesday. Chennai then earned a place in its record sixth Final by edging Royal Challengers Bangalore by three wickets with just one ball remaining in the semifinal on Friday.

There is more than pride and a shiny trophy on the line for these two teams during the 60th and last match of the eighth Indian Premier League season. The winning side collects a cash prize of 150 million Indian rupees, worth more than $2.3 million in United States currency. The runner-up gets a team bonus equivalent to almost $1.6 million.

Oddly, if historical patterns are any indication, Mumbai should win the match because they finished in second place on the group stage points table. The last four IPL championships have gone to the team that took second place in the group stage.

On the other hand, only one first-place team has ever survived the playoffs to the end to win the IPL Final match. That was the Rajasthan Royals in 2008 — the very first year of the Indian Premier League competition.

Unfortunately, rain is predicted for Sunday and could delay or interrupt the IPL 2015 Final. But if the match is washed out, Monday, May 25, is set aside as a make-up date. If both dates are rained out, Chennai will be awarded the championship on the basis of their first-place finish in the league’s 14-game group stage season.
