Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the fourteenth match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.

Chasing 165, CSK started dreadfully as they lost their four wickets for just 42 after 8.2 overs. First, Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/20) dismissed Shane Watson for 1, then T Natarajan (2/43) ended the innings of Ambati Rayudu, who scored 8 runs.

Soon, Faf du Plessis (22), who was looking in good touch, met a run-out. As if the trouble wasn’t enough, Kedar Jadhav (3) became the victim of youngster Abdul Samad (1/41).

Ravindra Jadeja (50) and MS Dhoni (47 not out) added a 72-run stand for the fifth wicket, but it was too late for the ‘Yellow Army’ to chase down the target.

In the end, CSK could only reach 157/5, losing the game by seven runs.

Priyam Garg takes Sunrisers to a respectable total
