LIVE SCORE IPL 2018 MATCH 20: SRH vs CSK LIVE FROM HYDERABAD

17.22 IST: OUT! Rayudu Run Out for 79. Chennai Super Kings 144/3 in 16.4 overs vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad

17.16 IST: SIX! Local boy Rayudu is unstoppable now. Rayudu is playing on different planet! Wrong one, tossed up but Ambati picks it up. Gets down on one knee and slog sweeps it massively over deep mid-wicket for half a dozen. Will he score a ton? Well, he is on course for sure. CSK 132/2 in 15.4 overs.

17.12 IST: FIFTY! Ambati Rayudu hits his 15th IPL half-century off 27 balls. Shakib Al Hasan to Ambati Rayudu, 1 run. Fifty for Rayudu, his 15th in the League. Well played! He is playing a gem of an innings and has bailed his side out of the early stutter. Eases this full ball down to long on and raises the bat. CSK 108/2 in 14.2 overs.

17.11 IST: FOUR! Edgyyyy! This is frustrate Stanlkae, he is taken for 19 runs. Back of a length, at 140.4 kph, Rayudu throws his bat at it. Gets an edge which flies fine down to third man for another boundary.  CSK 106/2 in 14 overs. 

17.03 IST: FOUR! Glorious! Tossed up ball outside off, Rayudu uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball and nails the cover-drive. No stopping it.

16.58 IST: SIX! Back-to-back sixes by Raina take CSK to 78/2 after 12 overs. Floated delivery on middle and off, Raina gets down and belts it over deep mid-wicket for back-to-back maximums. Raina in full flow here and Rashid Khan doesn't know what to do. Looks clueless and walks off from the bowling area. The 50-run stand has been raised between the two. Shored things up really well, these two.

16.57 IST: SIX! Rain revives CSK with his heroics here. Shot! Excellent use of the feet from Raina! Skips down the track to the leg break and whips it cleanly over mid-wicket for a biggie.

16.52 IST: FOUR! Welcomes Hooda with a boundary! Tossed up outside off, Rayudu gets down on one knee and reverse sweeps it past backward point for a boundary. Two boundaries in two balls for Chennai. Will this break the shackles?

16.49 IST: FOUR! Up and over! Raina dances down the track to short of a length ball, makes room and lifts it inside out over extra cover for a boundary. The stand moves to 22 now, they need these two to go on. CSK 54/2 in 10 overs.

16.45 IST: SIX! Picks the bones out of that one! Slower delivery, fuller in length and it's hurled at 111.4 kph, Rayudu gets down on one knee and slog sweeps it high and over wide long on for a biggie.

16.36 IST: FOUR! Top edge! Tossed up delivery, landed outside off, Rayudu gets down on one knee and looks to go for the slog sweep. Gets a top edge but there is no one manning the deep mid-wicket fence. A lucky boundary results.

16.34 IST: Ambati Rayudu is the new man in.

16.33 IST: OUT! Rashid Khan removes du Plessis for 11. Stumped! Rashid Khan puts Faf du Plessis out of his misery. Starts off with a loop leg break, Faf du Plessis lunges ahead to play the sweep but misses it completely and to add to it, his back leg comes out of the crease in the process. Saha behind the stumps collects the ball and takes the bails off. He appeals and the square leg umpire rules it out. Rashid Khan, the man who was taken to the cleaners in the last game against Gayle has come back with a bang as he strikes on the very first ball. Chennai in trouble. CSK 32/2 in 7.1 overs.

16.28 IST: Shakib Al Hasan to roll his arm over again.

16.24 IST: FOUR! Down the track and over the infield! Not off the middle but he will take that. Good length delivery outside off, du Plessis skips down the track and attempts for the loft over cover. Manages to hit it over the man there and picks up a boundary, his first one of this innings. Will that get him going?

16.20 IST: FOUR! Sliced away! Raina is early to make room, Stanlake does well to follow him but such is the talent of the southpaw that he still manages to put that away. He slices it square on the off side past point for a boundary. The third man tries his best to stop it but the ball still wins the race.

16.16 IST: Suresh Raina is the new man in.

16.15 IST: OUT! Bhuvneshwar removes Watson for 9. The knuckle delivery gets the better of Shane Watson. Kumar gets his man, what a response from the bowler after getting hit for a biggie on the previous ball. Drops it around middle, at 118.6 kph, it comes slowly off the deck and Watson had no clue about it. He just tries to tuck it away but the ball goes off the splice of the bat and it's a good catch taken by Deepak Hooda at short mid-wicket. There comes the stare from Kumar to the batter. Shows he's pumped up and why not? Perfect start for the hosts as they get rid of the danger man early. CSK 14/1 in 3.3 overs.

16.13 IST: SIX! Pummeled! What a shot! Back of a length delivery on middle, Watson with a minimal swivel, picks it up and pulls it with disdain over square leg for a maximum.

16.09 IST: Spin time. Shakib Al Hasan into the attack now.

16.05 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Shane Watson, Drops it on a back of a length, just outside off, tight lines from Kumar. Watson is happy to pat it away. Superb first over from him. Just 2 runs from the first over.

16.00 IST: All set for the action to begin. The players and umpires have made their way out to the middle. There is a change in the opening combination for Chennai. Faf du Plessis is the new partner for Shane Watson. Will we see them firing on all cylinders? Bhuvneshwar Kumar to steam in first up. A slip in place? 

15.50 IST: Chennai Super Kings Playing XI: Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis, MS Dhoni (w/c), Sam Billings, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Karn Sharma, Shardul Thakur

Brief Preview: Their unbeaten run in the tournament snapped by the 'Gayle Storm', Sunrisers Hyderabad would look to bounce back when they take on Chennai Super Kings in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Hyderabad on Sunday. Both the Sunrisers and the Super Kings have six points each from four matches, having lost just one game so far, and a win by either side at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium at Uppal will take them to the top of the table. The Sunrisers began their IPL campaign with three wins on the trot before they were stopped on their tracks by West Indian swashbuckler Chris Gayle, who played a special innings of 104 not out off 64 balls at Mohali on Thursday.
