Chennai Super Kings defended their total of 167 runs in a commanding fashion as they win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 20 runs in Dubai.
SRH did not start their run chase as they planned after losing 2 early wickets in the powerplay of captain David Warner and Manish Pandey. Kane Williamson stayed at the crease for a long time carrying the Hyderabad innings before getting out on 57 runs in just 39 balls. A late cameo by Rashid Khan of 14 runs in 8 balls gave SRH fans a glimmer of hope however he was hit-wicket via the bowling of Shradul Thakur.
CSK bowlers did a commendable job with ball in hand while defending their total. Dwayne Bravo and Karn Sharma picked up 2 wickets each conceding 25 runs and 37 runs respectively. There was a wicket each for Jadeja, Sam Curran and Shradul Thakur.
Chennai win their 3rd game of the season and the couple of points also bring them back in contention for the playoff spots.
