Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 8 wickets in the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings being played at DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai and Chennai Super Kings suffered their fourth consecutive defeat of this season. This is the fourth consecutive defeat of Chennai Super Kings this season and it is the first time in IPL history that Chennai Super Kings have to face defeat in the first four matches. With these four losses, now Chennai’s troubles are increasing and now it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to qualify for the play-offs.
While one end Chennai Super Kings have to face the fourth consecutive defeat, on the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad has registered their first win of this season. Indian young batsman Abhishek Sharma played a fine inning for Sunrisers Hyderabad and scored his first half-century in IPL to help his team win. Captain Kane Williamson today gave the responsibility of opening to Abhishek Sharma and Abhishek took full advantage of this opportunity to lead his team to victory. Abhishek Sharma batted brilliantly, scoring 75 runs in 50 balls and Sunrisers Hyderabad easily won the match in 2.2 overs.
Chennai’s bowling and batting were both disappointed in this match. After losing the toss, coming to bat, Chennai Super Kings could not do much, even on the batting-friendly pitch of the DY Patil Stadium, they could only score a total of 154 runs. After that, in the bowling too, the Chennai bowlers had to struggle a lot to take wickets and the Chennai bowlers looked quite ordinary in front of Hyderabad. It is very important for Chennai to make a comeback from here and if Chennai fails to make a comeback now then it will be very difficult for them to reach the playoffs.
