Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings Match Highlights & Results

Time to sign off - That wraps up an action-packed anniversary day of the IPL, with no shortage of action. Earlier in Bengaluru, in a contest that ebbed and flowed, DC crossed the line against RCB, with David Miller redeeming himself in style. Another double-header awaits on Sunday, 19th April. First up in Kolkata, the Knight Riders take on the Rajasthan Royals as they hunt for their first win. That match will begin at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). Later in the evening in New Chandigarh, the only unbeaten side in the competition, the Punjab Kings, face the Lucknow Super Giants. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). We look forward to your company then. Until next time, take care and cheers!

The captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad - Ishan Kishan says it is lovely to have a group of young bowlers coming up with their own plans. He adds that watching Praful, Sakib and Shivang improve day by day in training makes it important to trust them. Kishan feels that they were 30-40 runs short and admits that they need to be better with their shot selection. Kishan also says they are not focusing on the points table at the moment, instead looking to keep their heads down and take it one match at a time.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Eshan Malinga wins the award for producing impressive figures of 3/29 from his 4 overs. Malinga says that they had a good bowling plan as a team, and they knew how to play at this kind of pitch, and it was all about executing. Adds that Ishan Kishan kept on asking him about what type of deliveries he was going to bowl, so that the field could be set accordingly. On getting some reverse swing at the death, Malinga says that it is very important for a good bowler to get it to reverse.

Time for the presentation ceremony...

SRH's batting recap - It was a quiet start to the game after SRH were inserted to bat, before Abhishek Sharma unleashed an assault and brought up a 15-ball fifty. Once he fell, Heinrich Klaasen was left to fight a lone battle, and he too departed after reaching his half-century. SRH were deprived of a late flourish as CSK produced a remarkable bowling display at the death. By Klaasen’s own admission at the halfway mark, they were about 10 runs short of a par total, but their bowlers stepped up admirably to seal the win.

SRH fought back and never looked back - Dewald Brevis and Sarfaraz Khan both fell while going for the big shots and will look back at those moments, as they could have taken it upon themselves to guide the team home. Matthew Short played the anchor role but could not see it through either. SRH pounced on the opening provided by Sarfaraz’s departure, with Ishan Kishan rotating his bowlers smartly to put the game beyond CSK's reach. The likes of Sakib Hussain, Shivang Kumar and Eshan Malinga did not disappoint, with Sakib putting behind him a tough start to fight back strongly.

Mhatre led the Powerplay charge - CSK lost Sanju Samson early, but Ayush Mhatre once again ensured they made the Powerplay count. Towards the back end, he pulled up with a hamstring issue and fell soon after, and so did Ruturaj Gaikwad. That lifted SRH’s spirits, but despite losing three wickets, CSK had raced to 76 in the Powerplay. That brought the required run rate down under 9, and it was about managing the chase from there.

A quick word with SRH's star all-rounder - Nitish Kumar Reddy says that everyone did a fine job, and it was a team effort, and thankfully, it came in a winning cause. On his bowling, he tried to bowl according to the situation and to his field. He reckons that it was a good pitch for the spinners but is happy with the way their seamers bowled. Reddy also adds that it was key to hit the top of off on this deck and on Shivang Kumar, NKR says that his mystery bowling is helping them a lot and hopes that he continues in the same way throughout the tournament.

The captain of the Chennai Super Kings - Ruturaj Gaikwad says that with how the Powerplay went with the ball, they were looking at 220 or 230, but the way they pulled things back with the ball was great to see. Adds that with just about 80 runs or so needed in the last 10 overs, all they needed to do was build a couple of stands. Gaikwad feels that the couple of overs after the 10th over mark changed things and gives credit to the SRH bowlers for the way they fought back. On the CSK bowling, he says that it is good to see how they are coming along in the last 2-3 matches, and it was good to see how they managed to cash in on the momentum. On Kamboj, he says that he is really glad to have him in the side, and his death bowling has really improved.

SRH get the job done - Back-to-back wins at home for the Sunrisers, and for the first time this season, they have secured consecutive victories. Both wins have largely come on the back of impressive bowling efforts. CSK fail to track down a 190-plus target once again in the IPL. It is their 10th successive unsuccessful attempt in a full 20-over chase, with the last such successful pursuit coming back in 2018.

Praful Hinge to Anshul Kamboj, 1 run.That's it, Praful Hinge has done it and Sunrisers Hyderabad win by 10 runs. Praful goes for the yorker at the toes again but errs on the fuller side. Anshul Kamboj clips the low full toss off his legs and towards deep mid-wicket for a single. Great comeback from Hinge, especially given how the first over of the chase went.

Praful Hinge to Noor Ahmad, 1 run.Another fine delivery. Full and at the toes, Noor Ahmad jams it across through mid-wicket and picks up a single in the deep. A huge roar from the crowd as they are now certain that without any extras, the game is in the bag for the home side.

That should do it for SRH. Noor Ahmad comes out to bat. Don't count him out. Remember his final-over heroics in the T20 World Cup against South Africa?

Praful Hinge to Jamie Overton, OUT! c Liam Livingstone b Praful Hinge.OUT! CAUGHT! Should be the game for SRH, 13 needed off 2 balls. Two sixes to tie for CSK. Praful Hinge keeps his composure and nails another one in the blockhole, landing it just outside off. Jamie Overton hangs deep in the crease and looks to power it away but can't quite get under the flight of the ball. Ends up heaving it towards long off, where Liam Livingstone moves to his left and pouches it well.

Praful Hinge to Anshul Kamboj, 1 run.That's a stellar comeback delivery from Hinge. A yorker right on the money, on leg stump and Kamboj can only jam it out to deep mid-wicket for a single. 13 needed now off 3 balls.

Praful Hinge to Anshul Kamboj, No ball!No ball! Oh, deary me. That looks too high and it is given as a No Ball but SRH have reviewed it. Praful Hinge runs in and tries to angle across a yorker but the ball slips out of his hands and ends up going past the batter at around chest height. The third umpire confirms that Kamboj's waist height is 1.09 meters and the ball went past him at 1.24 meters. Free Hit loading...

Praful Hinge to Jamie Overton, Leg bye.That's well bowled. Praful stays around the wicket and jams the yorker in on the pads. Overton fails to flick it away and the ball thuds into the pads before rolling away just past the strip into the leg side. The batters pick up a leg bye.

Praful Hinge to Jamie Overton, 2 runs.Good hustle from the batters. Full at the toes, ends up being a low full toss. Overton jams it down to long on and picks up a couple of runs.

Time for the final over. Praful Hinge to bowl. He has conceded 54 runs in his 3 overs so far. Can he redeem himself?

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Anshul Kamboj, 2 runs.Oh, that should have been a run-out, but Jamie Overton is left off the hook here. Slower ball, slightly back of a length. Kamboj swats it down to long on without much timing and the batters look for two. The throw comes in at the bowler's end but Reddy fails to dislodge the bails. 18 needed off the final over.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Anshul Kamboj, Wide!WIDE! Oh, an extra and NKR can't get out of the over. Full and wide, sprayed beyond the tramline outside off.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Anshul Kamboj, Six!SIX! That's a big blow from Kamboj. NKR misses the straight yorker and serves a full toss on middle, Anshul Kamboj backs away and takes full toll as he swings it over long on for a biggie. 21 needed now off 7 balls.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jamie Overton, 1 run.Full again, angled into the pads, hacked across the line to deep mid-wicket for one more.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Anshul Kamboj, 1 run.Full-pitched delivery, pushed wide outside off, Anshul Kamboj slashes at it and slices it over the point region for a single.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jamie Overton, 1 run.Just a single. Fuller in length, wide outside off, a bit slower too. Overton toe-ends the smack-drive to deep cover for a run.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Jamie Overton, No run.A low full toss, straight at the stumps. Jamie Overton drills it back but Nitish Kumar Reddy does well to get a big hand on it on the followthrough.

Nitish Kumar Reddy has been brought back with CSK needing 30 runs off 12 balls. So, the 20th over will have to be either Praful Hinge or Shivang Kumar, barring any surprises.

Eshan Malinga to Jamie Overton, 1 run.Full and straight, heaved across to deep mid-wicket for a single now. 30 needed off 12 balls.

Eshan Malinga to Jamie Overton, 2 runs.Another misfield. Full again, on middle and leg, flicked away to the right of deep mid-wicket for a single but Ishan Kishan now fumbles and concedes an extra run.

Eshan Malinga to Jamie Overton, Four!FOUR! Should have been stopped but that's a fine shot again from Overton. Attempted yorker, on leg stump, Malinga errs on the fuller side. Overton clips it firmly between long on and deep mid-wicket and it is Aniket Verma from the latter position, who runs across and gets to it but fumbles it over the ropes.

Eshan Malinga to Jamie Overton, No run.Oh, what's happened here? There's an appeal for LBW, which is turned down, but then the keeper misses the shy at the stumps and that really could have been game over for CSK. Will this missed opportunity cost SRH? Full and tailing into the legs, Overton misses the flick and the ball brushes the pads before rolling behind to the keeper. Overton wanders down the pitch in search of a single but has to track back quickly. Salil Arora collects the ball behind the stumps and has all three stumps to aim at with ample time but he misses, allowing Jamie to get back.

Eshan Malinga to Jamie Overton, 2 runs.Well struck but it will just be two. Full and straight, drilled along the turf and to the left of long on. Heinrich Klaasen mops it up nicely and keeps it down to two runs.

Eshan Malinga to Anshul Kamboj, 1 run.On a fuller length, attacking the stumps, Kamboj swings at it but only manages an inside edge towards backward square leg for a single.

Sakib Hussain to Anshul Kamboj, 1 run.Keeps the length full, does Sakib and bowls it around off. Anshul Kamboj drags it across to long on for one.

A massive wicket for SRH. Anshul Kamboj walks in next.

Sakib Hussain to Shivam Dube, OUT! b Sakib Hussain.OUT! TIMBER! This could be the game right here and Shivam Dube cannot believe it. Dale Steyn on air just mentioned that Sakib Hussain deserves a wicket tonight, and right on cue, Sakib might have just picked up the most important wicket of the night. Hussain goes quick and full again, aims it at the toes. Dube gets rushed as he looks to flick it away and ends up playing all around it. The ball might have just flicked the back pad as well, before rattling into the middle stump. 41 needed now off 19 balls.

Sakib Hussain to Jamie Overton, 1 run.Excellent bowling again. Another wide yorker, gets it right this time. Overton digs it into the off side and gets across for the single.

Sakib Hussain to Jamie Overton, No run.Pace on this time, hitting a hard length and bowling it around off. Overton gets rushed off the deck and jams it to the left of the bowler, who gets to it quickly.

This is getting frustrating for everyone. Over the past couple of overs, there has been constant movement from spectators in the stands above the sight screen. Jamie Overton has been in the umpire's ear and looks the more annoyed of the two CSK batters.

Sakib Hussain to Jamie Overton, Wide!WIDE! Just past the tramline, but Ishan Kishan reviews it. A wide yorker, swings away late as well. Jamie Overton lets it through and the umpire signals a wide. However, now the third umpire is called into action. It is confirmed that no part of the ball is inside the revised wide guideline and it stays a wide.

Sakib Hussain to Shivam Dube, 1 run.Oh, in the air but into the vast empty space as well. Slower one on the leg stump, Shivam Dube looks to clip it off the legs but gets a leading edge through the mid-wicket region and picks up a single.

Sakib Hussain to Shivam Dube, Wide!WIDE! Well, that's come out all wrong. Attempted slower bumper, too high and spins away a mile from the left-hander. Left alone for a wide.

Sakib Hussain to Jamie Overton, 1 run.Full and straight, pushed back past the bowler's right and down to long on for a single.

Sakib Hussain to bowl out now.

Eshan Malinga to Shivam Dube, No run.That's perfectly bowled and even Shivam Dube knows it, that's why he isn't reviewing it for a wide. Very full and wide, hugging the tramline outside off. Dube reaches for it but gets beaten.

Eshan Malinga to Jamie Overton, 1 run.Full and around the fifth stump line, driven past extra cover for a single.

Eshan Malinga continues to impress. Jamie Overton is the new man in.

Eshan Malinga to Matthew Short, OUT! c Aniket Verma b Eshan Malinga.OUT! CAUGHT! Has Aniket Verma clung onto the catch? Indeed, he has. Eshan Malinga goes full and straight, looking for the inswinging yorker but misses it a touch. Matthew Short gets the front leg out and whips it furiously but flat towards deep mid-wicket. Aniket Verma charges in a bit and nearly overruns the ball, but manages to snaffle it with both hands to his right. 47 needed now off 26 balls as Malinga gets his third wicket.

Eshan Malinga to Shivam Dube, 1 run.Dug in short, right at the batter, Dube pulls it away through square leg for one.

Eshan Malinga to Shivam Dube, 2 runs.Two is the call and they get it as well, good running. A slower bumper, around head height and on off, Dube reaches out and pulls it down in front of mid-wicket, into the vast open space and gets a brace.

Eshan Malinga to Shivam Dube, Four!FOUR! Flies off the edge! A full and wide one, with the third man up in the ring. Shivam Dube throws his hands at it and gets a thick outside edge that flies over short third and goes into the fence.

Eshan Malinga (2-0-11-2) is back on.

Sakib Hussain to Matthew Short, No run.A fine over from Sakib. Just 6 runs off it. Hussain goes searching for the yorker but ends with a low full toss, on off and middle. Short is late on the shot and mistimes the drive to extra cover. That should have been put away by Matthew. 54 runs needed in 30 balls.

Sakib Hussain to Shivam Dube, 1 run.Back to the slower, short ball, on middle. Shivam waits for the ball to arrive and he taps the ball on its head. He nudges it behind square leg, where the short fine leg fielder gets around to his right and tidies up. Just a single.

Sakib Hussain to Matthew Short, 1 run.Right in the blockhole, on middle. Short cannot do much about it. He toe-ends the drive back past the bowler and rotates the strike.

Sakib Hussain to Shivam Dube, 1 run.Bends his back and comes up with a bouncer, does Sakib. Around the left shoulder and Dube pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for just a single.

Sakib Hussain to Matthew Short, 1 run.Gets the yorker right this time, at the toes. Short jams it out through backward square leg and gets to the other end.

Sakib Hussain to Matthew Short, Wide!Wide! Attempts the yorker but strays in his line. This drifts down leg and Short fails to get it away.

Sakib Hussain to Shivam Dube, 1 run.Begins with an off-cutter, on a length, on middle. Dube watchfully nurdles it in front of square on the leg side for a run.

STRATEGIC BREAK! This game is slowly turning into a really close one but for now, the Super Kings just hold the edge. The required rate is exactly 10 runs an over, with 60 needed off 36 balls and CSK still have someone like Jamie Overton to come. For SRH, it is all about wickets and a couple of wickets here, would really turn the tide in their favour. An exciting phase of play is on the cards, so let's get back to the action.

Praful Hinge to Matthew Short, Four!FOUR! Gets it through! Hinge stays around the wicket and keeps the stumps in play. Short steps out and takes it on the full. He smacks it on the bounce towards wide mid off, where Heinrich Klaasen dives to his left and gets a hand on it but it is not enough. The ball races behind and Ishan Kishan's chase goes in vain. A much-needed over for CSK. 15 runs off it.

Praful Hinge to Shivam Dube, 1 run.Full and at the sticks, Shivam drills it to long on for a run.

Praful Hinge to Shivam Dube, Six!SIX! Hinge misses the yorker and Dube makes him pay. Praful looks to dart in the yorker but gets it slightly wrong. Dube is standing deep in the crease and that allows him to get under the ball. A clean swing of the arms and Shivam tonks it over long on for a biggie.

Praful Hinge to Shivam Dube, No run.The surprise short ball from Hinge, gets it high enough to trouble the batter, just around the left shoulder. Dube swivels for the pull but is beaten for pace and the ball goes over the blade.

Praful Hinge to Shivam Dube, No run.Nice and full at 133.7 kph, on middle. Shivam firms the drive back at the bowler. Praful makes a sharp stop to his right. Shows a bit of aggression too, as he fakes a throw at the batter. 27 balls since the last boundary.

Praful Hinge to Matthew Short, 1 run.Short cannot make the Free Hit count. Very full, not allowing the batter to get under the ball, on middle. Short hangs deep in the crease with an open bat face and swings for the hills. Miscues it off the inner half towards wide long on. They cross.

Praful Hinge to Matthew Short, No ball!NO BALL! A false start for Hinge. Praful goes searching for the yorker but ends up bowling a low full toss, on middle. Short whips it away wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. Hinge has cut the return crease with his trailing leg. Free Hit coming up.

Shivang Kumar to bowl out? No, Ishan Kishan holds him back for now and brings Praful Hinge back into the attack. He's gone for 39 runs so far in 2 overs.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to Matthew Short, 1 run.At 134.1 kph, Reddy lands it full, outside off. Short walks towards the line of the ball and drives it to long off for another run. 75 runs needed off 42 balls.

Shivang Kumar to Dewald Brevis, OUT! c Liam Livingstone b Shivang Kumar.OUT! CAUGHT! Just before the start of the over, Simon Doull wondered whether Ishan Kishan brought back Shivang Kumar to lure these two right-handers into the big shot. And on cue, Dewald Brevis has fallen to the bait. Loopy ball, full and around off. Brevis puts his head down and swings to launch it back over the bowler's head. It is the googly and Brevis ends up cutting across the line of the ball. It is skied to long off, where Liam Livingstone stays side on and takes the catch to his right, well in front of the ropes. A four-ball duck for Brevis.

Shivang Kumar to Dewald Brevis, No run.Dishes out the googly at 91.4 kph, on off. Dewald stays back to a full ball and cuts well but straight to backward point.

Eshan Malinga to Dewald Brevis, No run.Malinga bangs it in short, just outside off. Brevis gets into a bit of tangle and takes his eyes off the ball as he leaves.

Eshan Malinga breathes life back into this contest. Dewald Brevis walks out to bat next.

Eshan Malinga to Sarfaraz Khan, OUT! c Nitish Kumar Reddy b Eshan Malinga.OUT! CAUGHT! Eshan Malinga strikes on his return to the attack. Malinga goes full and straight, at the stumps. Sarfaraz clears the front leg and uses his bottom hand in a bid to go big on the leg side. The bat turns in his hand and the top hand comes off the bat handle. Neither does he get any elevation, nor does he pick the gap. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of deep square leg, where Nitish Kumar Reddy makes no mistake. The 46-run stand has been broken. CSK are 112/4, chasing 195.

Eshan Malinga to Sarfaraz Khan, No run.Off-cutter, dug in short, over off and middle. Sarfaraz Khan arches back to play the upper-cut but the ball spins back to cramp Khan for room and he fails to connect.

Shivang Kumar to Sarfaraz Khan, 2 runs.Oh, that's sloppy fielding from the bowler. Tossed up, full on off, driven straight to extra cover for one. The throw at the bowler's end is fumbled by the bowler and the batters do well to sneak in an extra run.
