This was Rising Pune Supergiant's last game in the IPL. RPS had a psychological edge over Mumbai, considering RPS had beaten them on all three meetings in the season. [[Rohit Sharma]] won the toss and decided to bat first. [[Jaydev Unadkat]] and [[Adam Zampa]] took key wickets as Mumbai crumbled to 79-7 but a late surge from [[Krunal Pandya]] meant that Mumbai finished with a slightly below par score of 129–8. RPS looked comfortable after the powerplay but over-cautious batting cost them dearly. [[Ajinkya Rahane]] scored runs easily but captain [[Steve Smith (cricketer)|Steve Smith]] struggled and things took a turn when Rahane got out for 44. [[MS Dhoni]] arrived but was quickly removed for 10 and Pune were left requiring 11 runs from the last over with Smith and [[Manoj Tiwary (cricketer)|Manoj Tiwary]] at the crease. Tiwary hit a four on the first ball off [[Mitchell Johnson (cricketer)|Mitchell Johnson]]'s bowling and RPS looked to have the trophy in the bag. But Smith and Tiwary got out off consecutive deliveries which left RPS requiring 7 runs from 3 balls. A single from [[Washington Sundar]] and a double from [[Daniel Christian]] meant RPS required 4 runs from the last ball. Unfortunately, RPS could only complete two runs before Sundar was run out. Thus, Mumbai Indians won by 1 run to get their 3rd IPL title.<ref>{{Cite news|date=20 May 2017|title=Rising Pune Supergiant v Mumbai Indians {{!}} Final, IPL 2017|work=www.iplt20.com|url=https://www.iplt20.com/match/2017/60|access-date=16 November 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|date=21 May 2017|title=IPL final 2017: Rising Pune Supergiant banking on mental edge over Mumbai Indians for maiden title|work=Firstpost|url=https://www.firstpost.com/sports/ipl-2017-final-rising-pune-supergiant-banking-on-mental-edge-over-mumbai-indians-for-maiden-title-3461864.html|access-date=16 November 2020}}</ref>
