Chennai Super Kings
154/7 (20.0)Sunrisers Hyderabad
155/2 (17.4)Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets
"Didn't get the start what we were looking for. 20-25 short. Our bowlers were looking to bowl in good areas early on, trying to take wickets. Will look to improve in both departments. We're all professional cricketers, need to work hard on our game, stick together and try to come back."
Only the second time CSK have lost four consecutive matches in IPL - the other instance came in 2010 edition (they ended the season winning the title). On neither instances, MS Dhoni led them when the respective sequence began.
Pooran starts with a four and Bravo bowls a wide in the next ball. Match is probably over in this one only. Just 5 more needed. And tripathi has hit a four!!! That's it. That's Hyderabad's v1st victory and Chennai's fourth loss on the trot. SRH defeat CSK by 8 wickets.
GONE!!!! That's what Chennai needed but is it a little too late? Abhishek Sharma departs for 75. Tries to hit a huge one to finish the match but fails to clear long on and that's taken by Jordan off Bravo. SRH 145/2 after 17.1 overs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are slowly moving closer to a victory against Chennai Super Kings here. They just need 30 runs off 24 balls. With the SRH batters in this kind of form, it's going to be difficult for CSK to get back in this match. Jordan in to bowl the 17th over and Tripathi has lofted the first ball for a huge six!!! And that's a no ball and a four off it to boot. SRH batters in a hurry now. A free hit. 1 from the free hit. A beautiful four follows next. That brings up the 50 partnership. 19 off this one. SRH 144/1 after 17 overs.
Mukesh Choudhary in to bowl the 15th over and an effortless shot by Abhishek Sharma!!! It's slapped over the bowler's head for a maximum!!! Another one!!! Tripathi this time. Over the top and races to the boundary!!! SRH 121/1 after 15 overs.
Abhishek Sharma starts Bravo's over with a four!! He is absolutely not letting up as 100 comes up for Hyderabad. Tripathi also takes charge and hits a beautiful flick for another four!! In the air, just short of Jadeja. SRH 108/1 after 14 overs.
89 is the joint-highest opening partnership for SRH not involving David Warner. Parthiv Patel & Shikhar Dhawan scored 89 vs KKR in their inaugural season in 2013. (SRH have 14 higher opening stands all of which involved Warner)
OUT!!! Finally something goes Chennai's way!! Williamson drives and hits it straight to short extra cover. moeen Ali does not make a mistake. That's the breakthrough that CSK needed. SRH 89/1 after 12.1 overs.
Jordan in to bowl the 12th over and is punished straightaway by Williamson!!! Poor delivery and the SRH captain gulps it up with open arms!! What a four!! And that's a first IPL half century for Abhishek Sharma. Good knock. It almost didn't count as he had taken a run which was dismissed because he didn't plant his bat past the crease. Ultimately a run off the next ball and finally his 50!! Finishes the over with a SIX!!!! SRH 89/0 after 12 overs.
Bravo in to bowl the 10th over now. 5 runs off the first four balls. These singles and couples will help a lot during the latter overs. And there's a wide ball to boot. 7 off the over ultimately. We are halfway through. SRH steady at 69/0 after 10 overs.
Another big over from the Sunrisers' perspective as Abhishek Sharma ends the 9th over with a flourish. A top drawer shot for a four. Jadeja looks miffed. 10 off this one too. SRH 62/0 after 9 overs.
Moeen Ali brought in the attack by Chennai to break this SRH partnership. Williamson, however, has other ideas as he hits a six straight over the bowler's head. How many of them have we had tonight? 10 off the over. SRH 52/0 after 8 overs.
14/3 vs RR
40/2 vs LSG
37/0 vs CSK
Third time in fourth game CSK bowlers have gone wicketless in the Powerplay
Theekshana to bowl the last over of the powerplay. Abhishek lofts one beautifully over extra cover for a four!!! Finishes the over with a monstrous six perfectly placed between mid-wicket and long-on. SRH 37/0 after 6 overs.
The penultimate over of the powerplay starts. Chris Jordan has been handed the ball. What a peach of a delivery. Cuts Williamson in half and Dhoni collects it. Magnificent delivery. Great over. Just 1 from it. SRH 24/0 after 5 overs.
Abhishek Sharma has hit another shot and that's mistimed but will go all the way to the boundary. Well, I guess the intent matters here. Chennai won't like it while Hyderabad will grasp it with both hands. 9 from this one. Hyderabad steady. SRH 23/0 after 4 overs.
Sharma has hit this one and that's gone high without the necessary distance. Falls just short of the advancing Dube who had to cover a lot of ground to reach there. Nails a four to end this Mukesh Choudhary over. 8 from it. SRH 14/0 after 3 overs.
Maheesh Theekshana in to bowl the second over. Williamson feels out a couple of balls and hits the next for a beautiful boundary. Cuts it superbly through point. First four of the innings. 5 from this over. SRH 6/0 after 2 overs.
