Toss: Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss & decided to field.
First Innings Summary :
Chennai Super Kings batting first, and got to a decent start. Losing Rahane’s wicket early in the innings, CSK managed to score 50 runs in the power play. But after that, Ruturaj & Darly Mitchell took charge and built a solid partnership of 107 runs. Mitchell scored 52 off 32 balls. Shivam Dube again showed his rich hot form scoring unbeaten 39 off 20. Ruturaj played a captain’s knock, scoring 98 runs off 54 balls, missing his well-deserved century by just 2 runs. At the end of 20 overs, CSK reached a total of 212-3. Bhuvneshwar, Natarajan & Unadkat picked up 1 wicket each.
Second Innings Summary :
Sunrisers Hyderabad had a target of 213 runs in front of them to chase down in 20 overs. But Tushar Deshpande had other plans. He didn’t give the opportunity to SRH batters to get to a good start. In his magnificent opening spell, he picked up SRH’s 3 top-order batsmen very cheaply, including Travis Head & Abhishek Sharma, who are in top form in this IPL season. Aiden Markram did try to put some rums on the board and build a partnership, but he couldn’t. Matheesha Pathirana got the better of him in the 11th over, as he was batting on 32 runs. From there on, CSK never let SRH make a comeback. CSK bowlers always had the upper hand on SRH batters. CSK won the match by 78 runs as they bowled out SRH for 134 runs. Tushar Deshpande picked up 4 wickets, and Mustafizur Rahman and Pathirana picked 2 each. Jadeja & Shardul Thakur picked up 1 wicket each. With the win, CSK moved to 3rd position in the table.
Ruturaj Gaikwad was named Player of the Match for his 98 (51).
