Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets
Right then, that is it from this crucial game where Sunrisers Hyderabad keep their hopes alive while Chennai Super Kings are all but out. Next up, the action moves to the City of Joy, Kolkata, where Kolkata Knight Riders take on the Punjab Kings in a high-stakes clash on 26th April, Saturday. That will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know, you can always join us for all the build-up. Until then, cheers and goodbye!
Harshal Patel is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his super four-fer. He says that they have been trying in the last 4-5 games, and winning games from here on will be special. Adds that he figured out that it was hard to play straight batted shots, so he wanted to force them to play towards mid-wicket. Mentions that he tried to bowl length to Dhoni, but it was just one of those variations when what you try does not come off, but he is happy that it went to the fielder. Ends by saying that family is very important to him, but when he takes the field, he is switched on, and after the game, it is all about being a good father.
Pat Cummins, the victorious captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad says a lot of things came together in this game and feels the bowling was very clinical. On promoting Klaasen up the order, he says it was considering this venue and he wanted to try and change the roles a bit. Concludes that they will now look forward to the remaining games and try to carry on the momentum.
Presentation Time...
Nitish Kumar Reddy is up for a quick chat. He says that they are proud to win this game and want to continue this momentum. Adds that it was about playing the normal game and put pressure on the fielders. Mentions that Noor Ahmad and Khaleel Ahmed bowled well, but they needed this win. Says that RCB won six out of six last year to make it to the playoffs, so they just have to believe and see what happens.
MS Dhoni, the captain of Chennai Super Kings says they kept losing wickets and the pitch was slightly better in the first inning and the score that they got wasn't justified and they needed to bat better. Adds that in the second innings, the spinners found a bit more grip and turn but they eventually fell short of 15-20 runs. Says they have to score runs in the middle overs, especially against spinners and will be one key area they will want to improve. Concludes that in a tournament like this, if the majority of the players aren't doing well, it gets very hard to string performances and make changes.
Chennai Super Kings, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their effort with the ball, although the real setback was not putting enough runs on the board. Khaleel Ahmed set the tone early with a decent opening spell, and Anshul Kamboj followed suit, but a few costly overs and too many extras hurt their chances. Noor Ahmad and Ravindra Jadeja tried to apply the brakes in the middle overs with some tidy bowling, but it just wasn’t enough to defend the modest total and secure those crucial two points.
Earlier in the evening, CSK managed a below-par total despite a few quickfire cameos from Ayush Mhatre and Dewald Brevis, while Deepak Hooda chipped in with some big hits towards the end. For SRH, it was Harshal Patel who stole the show with a superb four-wicket haul. Pat Cummins and Jaydev Unadkat backed him up well with two wickets apiece, while Kamindu Mendis and Mohammed Shami grabbed one each to round off a clinical bowling effort from the Sunrisers.
Sunrisers Hyderabad were rocked early, losing Abhishek Sharma for a duck, but Travis Head and Ishan Kishan brought some stability to the innings. Just when things seemed to settle, quick wickets of Head and Klaasen tilted the pressure back on. Kishan, though, played a vital hand with a gritty 44, keeping the chase on track. The middle overs tested their nerves, but Kamindu Mendis held firm with a composed unbeaten 32. He found solid support in Aniket Verma and Nitish Kumar Reddy, and together, they guided SRH to a much-needed victory.
Sunrisers Hyderabad breathe life back into their campaign! Not only do they stay alive in the playoff race, but they also register their first-ever win at Chepauk - and what a time to do it. On the flip side, Chennai Super Kings lose four games in a row at home for the first time in their history. It’s a tough pill to swallow for the yellow army, and there’s plenty to reflect on as they look ahead.

Angling across, short of a length, Nitish Kumar Reddy arches his back to ramp, but the ball goes away from the batter, and NKR lets it pass.

The third umpire checks the replays and deems it a fair delivery as the ball was below the batter's height. Sunrisers Hyderabad need just 6 more runs off 12 balls to win the game.

Strategic Break! The contest is on a knife’s edge, with both teams trading blows in an intense battle. SRH need 49 off 37, which is not a daunting ask on paper, but CSK are making them earn every run. The pitch is showing signs of being two-paced despite the dew. Still, SRH have the firepower in the shed to close this out. CSK, though, won’t go down without a fight - a couple of quick wickets could flip the script entirely. Nitish Kumar Reddy walks in at number 7 for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

SRH lose half their side now, still needing 49 runs in 37 balls. It is game on here in Chepauk!

Strategic Break! Chennai Super Kings are right back into this game with that wicket of Heinrich Klaasen. Their spinners will now want to control things in the middle overs and pick up a couple of more wickets to keep the pressure on the middle order of SRH. The visitors need one good partnership here, but they know it will not be easy as this is a do-or-die game for both sides. Also, Aniket Verma walks out to bat now.

Ravindra Jadeja To Heinrich Klaasen OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Three of the biggest fish have been scalped by CSK! The ploy to promote Heinrich Klaasen up the order hasn't worked for SRH! Ravindra Jadeja tosses the ball up, nice and full, on middle, Heinrich Klaasen stays leg side of the ball and decides to power it straight back over the bowler. Gets more height than distance and hits it as far as long on. Deepak Hooda settles under it and takes the catch with both hands around his chest. Heinrich Klaasen departs for 7 (8) and Sunrisers Hyderabad are in some trouble at 54/3.
