Player of the Match

Ravindra Jadeja

25(10)&1/21(3)

Right! We have had a good encounter to kick off the second phase of the tournament, which could have gone either way but Chennai took the two points from this game. They will look to build on this going further. Hyderabad, on the other hand, have lost their second game on the trot and will look to bounce back in their next encounter. The action continues on the 14th of October, 2020 as Delhi take on Rajasthan in Dubai. The match starts at 1800 local (1400 GMT). Do join us well before for the build up. We hope to see you for that game. Until then, adios and take care.

The Man of the Match is RAVINDRA JADEJA! He starts off by saying that he is very happy with his performance and it is good to help the team win. Adds that he kept playing his strokes and he backed himself while he was batting. Feels that the wicket is on the slower side and he just looked to bowl into the stump and he did not want to offer any width to the batters. Adds that he enjoys fielding and he looks to take catches or looks for the run out while out there.

Chennai captain, MS Dhoni, says that what really matters is the two points. Tells that the team did a very good job. Feels the batters got them a decent score on the board and says that there was some purpose. Adds that the spinners got them wickets at the right time and feels that he won't shy away from calling it a perfect game for them. Tells that he told the bowlers to hit the right lengths and do not go searching for the swing. Mentions that the fast bowlers executed their plans well. Says that with the pitch getting a bit slow, it will surely help them to an extent. On Sam Curran, MS says that Curran is a complete player for them. Adds that he can open the batting, he can play the fast bowlers and spinners well too. Adds that there are plenty of areas where they can get better. Feels they just need to keep the process right and if they can keep winning games, the points table will take care of itself. Ends by saying that just because they have won the game, he doesn't want to brush anything under the carpet.

Dwayne Bravo is up for a chat. Tells that he enjoys bowling towards the end. Praises Shardul for the 19th over. Adds that it was a great team performance overall. Praises Karn and Jadeja too along with Chahar who bowled in the Powerplay. Tells that he is really happy that they get 2 points. Says that there was no panic in the team before the game. Informs that they have broken it into a mini-tournament now and says that this game was really important for them. Adds that they made a few changes in their plan, like sending Curran to open the batting and is happy that it worked here for them. On the pitch being on the slower side, Bravo says that it doesn't make much difference as both the teams have to play on it. Talking about Pandey's run out, Bravo says that he isn't too quick these days and hence enjoys fielding in the circle and tells that Pandey was a key wicket for them. Finishes by saying that he has enjoyed playing with Curran and tells that he has a lot of character.

Hyderabad skipper, David Warner, says that the wicket was a bit on the slower side. Tells that they tried to take it deep but failed to win it. Tells that they need to go to the drawing board and plan things out better. Adds that the total was chasable but tells that when they were maintaining a momentum, he felt that they had a chance but it didn't happen. Says that the batters need to come out with clear minds. Feels if they want to take the bowler on or you want to sit deep inside the crease. Says that they want to forget this game and come better in the next game. Adds that they will have to monitor the pitch and then select the team. Ends by saying that to go ahead, you need to beat the good teams and says that he is ready for that challenge along with his boys.

After opting to bat, Dhoni took a surprise call when he sent Curran to open the batting along with Faf du Plessis. Faf fell for a golden duck but Curran played a handy knock of 31 before getting out. Watson and Rayudu then stitched a valuable partnership in the middle stages of the game. A flourish in the end by Jadeja and Dhoni made sure that Chennai ended with a good total of 167. Hyderabad bowlers were pretty good till the 14th over but they were taken for a few towards the last 6 overs where they gave away 65. The spinners couldn't pick wickets but kept things tight. Sandeep was their pick of the bowlers as he ended with 2/19 in his 4 overs. Khaleel and Natarajan did pick a couple wickets but were on the expensive side. And eventually, the last few blows by Chennai batters were proved vital towards the end.

Chasing this target, Hyderabad needed their opening duo of Warner and Bairstow to start with a bang. That though did not happen as Warner was sent back by Curran early in the chase. Bravo's brilliance in the field saw Pandey head home and Hyderabad lost 2 wickets in the same over. Bairstow also did not explode as his team would have hoped for. Kane Williamson was the pick of the lot as he scored a well made 57, but he alone could not see his side home.

Defending a total of 167, Chennai started off well as they got rid of Warner and Pandey right in the Powerplay. They kept scalping wickets right throughout the innings getting rid of the explosive batters along the way and in the end, they held their nerve and saw their side through. Dhoni went by using 7 bowlers for this game and Piyush Chawla bowled only a single over. Bravo and Karn Sharma picked up 2 wickets today, even as Karn was expensive towards the end of the innings. Dhoni got his decisions right in the field and he will be hoping that he can continue this going forward. Overall, a comprehensive victory for Chennai.

What a game of cricket we have had today! The fans of both the teams would have been biting their nails towards the end of the innings. It is Dhoni's men who have held their nerve, in the end, they have recorded a win by 20 runs. They have finally won a game after a series of losses. Dhoni will be a happy man tonight.

DRINKS! This game is hanging by a thread as both teams are equally placed in the game. As long as Williamson is out there for Hyderabad, they will believe. Dhoni will be looking to get the big fish and get rid of Williamson and wrap this game up. 59 runs required in the last four overs and this game could go either way. An exciting end awaits. Bravo is back with the ball for Chennai. His figures so far read 1-0-11-0.

Karn Sharma To Priyam Garg OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT! Another breakthough for Chennai and it is the combination of Karn and Jadeja which struck! There is no way that Jadeja drops these sort of chances in the deep and he does not disappoint on this occasion as well. Loopy ball around off, Garg gets on his knees and slog sweeps this one towards the deep mid-wicket region.

Short ball on middle, Garg flicks this off his back foot towards the deep mid-wicket region and will collect a couple.

Sam Curran To Kane Williamson

Another loud appeal from Curran but it is again turned down. Dhoni has a word with his bowler but no review.

Looked a bit high.

Sam Curran To Manish Pandey OUT!

OUT! RUN OUT! Second wicket in the over. Bravo with the direct hit. Hyderbad's two in-form batters have been sent packing inside the Powerplay. That was a risky run! Good length ball around off, Pandey pushes it towards covers and calls for a run. Bairstow responds. But Bravo responds too as he gets to the ball quickly and scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end. The third umpire has been called for but Pandey knows that he is short. The third umpire confirms the same. Two big wickets in the over.

The third umpire is called into play for a run out appeal. Manish seems to be walking away as he thinks this is out. Replays roll in and it is seen that Pandey is out by a mile. He will have to walk back now.

3.5

Sam Curran To Manish Pandey

FOUR! Crunched! Pandey is off the mark in style! A little bit of width and that is enough for Manish. He throws his bat and crunches it through the covers for a boundary.

3.4

Sam Curran To Manish Pandey

Good length ball around off, pushed towards point.

Manish Pandey will walk out with his blade for Hyderabad.

3.3

Sam Curran To David Warner OUT!

OUT! CAUGHT & BOWLED! Curran gets his man. Chennai get the breakthrough. A length ball around off, Warner looks to slog it on the leg side but gets an inside edge. The ball hits his pad and then lobs towards the leg side. Curran quickly gets around and pouches it. Warner falls cheaply!

3.2

Sam Curran To David Warner

Shortish and around off, comes back in sharply and climbed too. Warner defends it towards covers.

3.1

Sam Curran To David Warner

Fullish and outside off, Warner drives it wide of the deep cover fielder. The call is for two straightaway. Easily completed.

2.4

Deepak Chahar To Jonny Bairstow

WIDE! Chahar bangs one short and around off, Jonny lets it be as it goes well over his head. Wided.

2.3

Deepak Chahar To David Warner

In the air but safe! Short ball around off, Warner looks to pull but doesn't time it well. It lands safely towards deep mid-wicket. Warner couldn't get the timing he wanted and so it will not go to the fence. Three taken.

2.2

Deepak Chahar To Jonny Bairstow

Tucks the next ball towards square leg for a run.

1.2

Sam Curran To David Warner

Huge appeal but it has been turned down! No review from Dhoni. A length ball around middle and leg, Warner looks to tuck it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pad. That looked really close. Maybe some bat. Yes, replays confirmed that. Rayudu suggested the skipper that there was willow on that one.

1.1

Sam Curran To David Warner

A fuller ball on middle, Warner flicks it well but finds the mid-wicket fielder.

Who will partner Chahar with the new ball? It is Sam Curran. He opened the innings with the bat for Chennai and will also partner Chahar with the new ball.

0.2

Deepak Chahar To David Warner

Nicely bowled! This one is wide too. Warner looks to drive but lets it be at the last moment as the ball comes back in.

We are back for the run chase! Both the umpires stride out to the middle and they are followed by Hyderabad openers, David Warner and Jonny Bairstow! MS Dhoni has got his boys in the huddle near the ropes and sharing some advice with them before they can take their positions in the field. Deepak Chahar will take the new ball for the Men in Yellow. Warner to face. Here we go...

0.1

Deepak Chahar To David Warner

Just short! Lucky escape for Warner. A short ball outside off, Warner plays a check-punch. The ball hits a bit high on the bat and labs towards point. Jadeja is the fielder there. Surprisingly, he didn't go for the catch.
