Brilliant half-centuries from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) openers Faf Du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad helped their team overhaul the 172-run target set by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) comfortably in the 19th over in Delhi on Wednesday. CSK lost only three wickets in the process, all of them claimed by spinner Rashid Khan as no other bowler could find an answer to the powerful hitting by the CSK openers. Earlier, SRH skipper David Warner and Manish Pandey scored fifties and were well assisted by Kane Williamson (26* off 10 balls) and Kedar Jadhav (12* off 4 balls) to finish strongly at the end. With their fifth successive win, CSK regain the top spot on the points table, toppling Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) courtesy their superior net run rate. SRH remain rock-bottom with just one win under their belt. (SCORECARD)
