Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2024 Highlights: Tushar Deshpande's Blistering Powerplay Spell Helps CSK Beat SRH by 78 Runs

A dominant bowling performance by the Super Kings and it was led by that fine spell in the powerplay by Tushar Deshpande who cleared out the top order. That was the difference as CSK did what they do best in the middle-overs as the had their vice-grip to choke SRH from scoring too many boundaries which then led to wickets falling in regular intervals as CSK got the win.

Mustafizur to Unadkat: W!

There it is the final wicket is gone. Unadkat looked to drive it past the covers but found the fielder at the mid-wicket region for the catch taken by Moeen Ali. A low one but taken by the Englishman to seal the emphatic win for CSK.

Jaydev Unadkat 1(2) c. M Ali b. M Rahman

SRH 134/10 in 18.5 Overs

Mustafizur to Shahbaz: W!

Shahbaz is gone and somehow the ball keeps finding Mitchell who takes his fifth catch of the game. This time he was standing by the ropes at the fine-leg region. Shahbaz looked to pull it but was not able to get enough power behind the ball as SRH are one wicket away from defeat.

Shahbaz Ahmed 7(5) c. D Mitchell b. M Rahman

SRH 132/9 in 18.2 Overs

Chahar to Shahbaz: 4!

Shahbaz Ahmed looks to run down the deficit as he upper-cuts the shorter delivery from Deepak Chahar who came around the wicket for the left-hander to concede the boundary.

SRH 132/8 in 18.1 Overs

Deshpande to Cummins: W!

Cummins looks to go big with a slog. But Deshpande continues to shine with Mitchell being outstanding on the field tonight. The bowler gets his fourth wicket while the fielder gets his fourth catch as Cummins finds the Kiwi international at the deep mid-wicket region.

Pat Cummins 5(7) c. D Mitchell b. T Deshpande

SRH 124/8 in 17.3 Overs

Thakur to Cummins: 4!

SRH 123/7 in 16.4 Overs

Thakur to Samad: W!

Shardul Thakur gets the cross-seamed delivery which was a hint wide and Samad looks to go after it but finds the man at the long-off region. Another wicket goes and CSK are on the verge of yet another home win.

Abdul Samad 19(18) c. (sub) S Rizvi b. S Thakur

SRH 119/7 in 16.2 Overs

Pathirana to Klaasen: W!

Klaasen looked to break free there and he looks to go big but is unable to generate enough of power as he finds the fielder at the long-on region. Surely the game is sealed here.

SRH 117/5 in 15.5 Overs

Pathirana to Samad: 6!

Samad is able to get under the fuller ball and muscles it away for the maximum to break the boundary drought. Can SRH get more out of this over? They will have to attack him since he has more overs left.

SRH 116/5 in 15.2 Overs

Thakur to Samad: 4!

Abdul finally gets going right away and punishes the wider delivery from Shardul Thakur driving it towards the gap at the covers for the boundary.

SRH 93/5 in 11.2 Overs

Pathirana to Markram: W!

Classic Pathirana there and the slinger gets the big wicket of the set batter, Aiden Markram. The yorker at 147 clicks gets the better of the South African international and the middle stump is uprooted.

Aiden Markram 32(26) b. M Pathirana

SRH 85/5 in 10.5 Overs

Jadeja to Nitish: W!

Cheeky from Jadeja as he catches the batter off-guard with a quick shorter delivery which the batter looks to pull but sends it way up in the air and MS Dhoni takes the catch to give yet another wicket for CSK.

Nitish Reddy 15(15) c. MS Dhoni b. R Jadeja

SRH 72/4 in 8.5 Overs

Thakur to Markram: 4!

Shardul Thakur is brought into the attack and Markram looks to play the pull shot but finds the bottom-edge which races past the keeper to get the boundary. Some crucial runs for SRH. Unlucky for the bowler.

SRH 63/3 in 7.1 Overs

Chahar to Markram: 4! 4!

Markam gets the thick edge on the delivery which is full and outside the off-stump line which pierces the gap at the backward-point region for the boundary to get some more crucial runs. Markram will have to anchor this innings.

SRH 49/3 in 5.1 Overs

Deshpande to Abhishek: W!

Deshpande has his third wicket in this powerplay and he gets the danger man, Abhishek Sharma. Another full and wide delivery which Abhishek looks to attack but finds the fielder at the point region again. Same as the Head dismissal

SRH 40/3 in 3.5 Overs

Deshpande to Abhishek: 4!

A delivery on the slot and Abhishek Sharma slaps it straight past the bowler which races away for the boundary. Easy pickings for the left-hander which rightfully punished.

SRH 40/2 in 3.4 Overs

Chahar to Markram: 4! 4!

Consecutive boundaries by Aiden Markram. Gets off the mark in style as he finds the boundary which is glanced towards the short-fine-leg region for four runs. Follows it up with another boundary which is cut towards the backward point region for four more. Too short and wide there from the pacer.

SRH 30/2 in 2.3 Overs

Deshpande to Anmolpreet: W!

Another wicket on the bounce for CSK. SRH bring in their impact sub, Anmolpreet Singh who gives away his wicket straight away with an easy catch to the man at midwicket. What a start for the home side.

Anmolpreet Singh 0(1) c. M Ali b. T Deshpande

SRH 21/2 in 1.6 Overs
