IPL 2024 SRH vs CSK Highlights: Sunrisers beat Chennai by six wickets

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: SRH join the 4-point bandwagon with that win. They are the fifth team at the moment to be on four points with CSK still leading that pack and sitting third due to their net run rate. Still early days and so it is not yet time for the IPL table to mean anything. But what we have seen so far in this IPL is that teams are going at it from ball one, and then fine to maybe slow down and consolidate in the middle overs. SRH took it to the extreme though, playing almost two different matches during and after the powerplay. In the end, they win with 11 balls which is a good victory and they will feel mighty good about the fact that they have been so dominant in both their games. CSK have the support wherever they go but what they also have now after two back to back defeats, is some food for thought.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: “In the bowling we felt it’s a bit slow wicket. We knew if we take the powerplay on, we can go with the flow after that. We had a chance to prepare well before this IPL. Big scores do matter (individual scores), but I went with the flow today. Special thanks to Yuvi paaji, Brian Lara and my dad for this.”

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: “Different soil. Slowed up a little bit as the game went on. Shivam was hitting it well against the spin. Thought we’ll take chance with off-cutters. First thing is always to get the points. Wouldn’t want to be bowling to him (Abhishek) and Trav Head at the top. Crowd was crazy tonight. When MS walked out, it was as loud as I’ve ever heard.”

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Here is a gist of what the losing captain had to say: “It was a slow pitch, They bowled well in the back-end, kept the game in control and didn’t allow us to capitalize. I thought we did well in the beginning (of the match), but they came back well later. It was a black soil pitch, so we expected the pitch to be slower, but it became slower and slower, and they used the boundary size well. We conceded too many in the batting PP, one dropped catch and one expensive over. Still, to take them to the 19th over was a great effort. I thought anything around 170-175 would’ve been a good total for us. There was a bit of dew towards the end, but Moeen got the ball to spin even in the 15th-16th over. So I don’t think the pitch changed a lot during the course of the game.”

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Reddy finishes it off with a six off the first ball of the 19th by Chahar and that finally ends this chase. You may have been forgiven for thinking after the first nine overs that this could be over before the 15th. The CSK spinners did an incredible job capitalising on the conditions but they were only delaying the inevitable. Abhishek Sharma did much of the heavy lifting really despite having faced just 12 balls. Take that innings away and this would have been a much, much closer match.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: New guy Nitish Reddy gets a boundary off the third ball of the 17th over from Jadeja, a switch hit that connected for once. He moves to seven off five, Klaasen on four off seven. SRH need 15 off 18, they are absolutely crawling towards the target.

IPL Live Score SRH vs CSK: SRH 151/4 in 17 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Another batter falls to the reverse sweep. Moeen and Dhoni appeal, umpire doesn’t give it and CSK take the review. Takes ages for ball tracking to appear but once it does, it shows three reds. Incredible turn for Moeen there from round the wicket. IPL Live Score SRH vs CSK: SRH 151/4 in 17 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: And that was the first over of the IPL for Rachin Ravindra! The tide couldn’t possibly be turning, could it? 35 deliveries now without a boundary and three wickets have fallen in that period as well. Klaasen is on one off four. Shahbaz is on 12 off 15.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Moeen Ali gets the big wicket. Moeen tosses the last ball up, on a length outside off, Markram goes for a reverse sweep and he misses it entirely because of the spin. Big appeal for LBW and it is given. Markram reviews and the umpire’s decision is confirmed after that. A very soft dismissal that.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: The scoring rate has gone down, largely thanks to Theekshana and Moeen Ali, who just bowled his first over of the season. However, SRH don’t really need to try and go big any more, they need 48 to win in 48. Markram has scored 43 off 28, Shahbaz Ahmed at the other end on four off nine. SRH have sent in Shahbaz ahead of Heinrich Klaasen, which is quite strange.

IPL Live Score SRH vs CSK: SRH 118/2 in 12 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Mahesh Theekshana gets the breakthrough. The fourth delivery of the 10th is tossed up, it is an innocuous delivery and Head hits it straight into the hands of deep backward square leg where Rachin Ravindra almost makes a meal of the easiest of catches! He didn’t even have to move, that is how perfectly Head found him, but the ball did slip through his hands and his chest, he catches it on second attempt though. Head sinks to his knees and walks off in disgust.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: A powerplay to forget for CSK. SRH have maintained a run rate of 13.00. The umpire calls for a timeout and lots of conversations between Dhoni and Gaikwad in the break. Aiden Markram is on 15 off nine, Head on 24 off 16.

IPL Live Score SRH vs CSK: SRH 78/1 in 6 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Over 60 runs in the first five overs itself. We have seen this story play out before, with KKR belting runs in the powerplay and beating RCB with ease. Travis Head is on strike, Tushar Deshpande to bowl the last over of the powerplay.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Abhishek Sharma has fallen after scoring 37 in 12 balls. He may have already played a match-winning knock here. Head gets off strike first ball of the third over by Chahar. Abhishek then pulls the second into the stands, then the next delivery is slapped over cover. The third deliver is sent in at a length outside off, Abhishek tries to play a lofted cover drive but slices it and sends it into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja at backward point.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Mukesh Choudhary, bowling his first IPL over in over a year, sends the first one full and swinging away from Abhishek, the ball is lifted straight over the bowler’s head to the boundary. A dot ball after that and then the third ball is pulled over fine leg. The fifth ball is whipped over deep midwicket and that is also a no ball. The free hit is smashed over long-off. And then finally, the last delivery is hit over extra cover. Not the greatest of deliveries any of those from Mukesh and Abhishek is in such form that he just won’t miss these. He has smashed 27 in nine balls, Head on seven off four.

IPL Live Score SRH vs CSK: SRH 35/0 in 2 overs

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Oh Deepak Chahar would feel hard done by over there. Head edges the second delivery straight to Moeen Ali at first slip and somehow, the all-rounder puts it down. That was straight at him, he had to bend a very normal amount considering he is a slip fielder, but it slips through his hands. Then a single off the third ball and off the fourth and then Head sends the last one into the crowd.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Deepak Chahar bowling the first over. Travis Head, as usual, walks in as an Impact Sub, Abhishek Sharma at the other end. SRH need 166 to win.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Shivam Dube was batting on a different pitch from the rest of his teammates today. Among CSK batters who faced more than 10 deliveries today, Dube’s strike rate stands at 187.50. The next best is Ravindra Jadeja’s unbeaten 31 off 23 – a strike rate of 134.78. In fact all other CSK players put together scored at a combined strike rate of 122.90.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Oh a horrible misfield off the last ball spoils what was otherwise an excellent last over to T Natarajan. Jadeja takes a hack at it and it seems to be rolling comfortably towards Unadkat at deep square leg. But he makes a meal of collecting it and runs behind him to the boundary. Dhoni could only take a single off the two balls that he faced and so it was three runs and a wicket in that over before the fifth delivery. Overall, SRH conceded just 38 runs in the last five overs. They have shown how to bowl on this pitch, can CSK do the same?

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: Pat Cummins bowls the 18th, his last of the match. The first is a slow bouncer that Jadeja muscles over point to the boundary. Five runs off the next four balls and then Mitchell hits the last one for four.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: SRH have clawed back and how. The run rate has fallen off a cliff. Ravindra Jadeja out there on 16 off 14 balls, Mitchell on three off four. The crowd is chanting away for Dhoni.

Rahane didn’t get going at all today and now Mitchell comes out to join Jadeja.
