Right then! 155 is what Hyderabad needs to chase down and open their account in the poins table. Now Chennai too are looking for their first points and the pitch isn't easy to bat on. If they can get early wickets, it should be interesting chase. Do join us for that shortly.
Marco Jansen is up for a chat. He says that he was a bit nervous at the start but tells that it is nice to get an opportunity. Informs that back of a length is the most difficult ball to face and the change of pace is key for him. Mentions that there was not much swing for him so he bowled cross-seam delivery early and says that he is happy to get the wicket of MS Dhoni. Tells that he just tried to do his job and hopes that his team will chase down the total.
Hyderabad had a fruitful start as Washington Sundar did what he does in the Powerplay. He provided his side the breakthrough and then T Natarajan bowled a rip-snorter off the first delivery to get rid of Ruturaj Gaikwad. The bowlers were bowling well and did well to contain runs and just when they started to lose their grip in the game a bit, their spinners came to the party and got a firm hold of the match again. They always kept a lid on the scoring rate except the last three overs but would still be very pleased with their bowling and would fancy their chances here.
Chennai were off to a nervy start as they lost Robin Uthappa early and Ruturaj Gaikwad also failed to convert yet another start and departed soon. The onus was on Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayudu to get back the momentum and they did it very well building a 62-run stand but both the batters holed out in successive overs later. 150 seemed far-fetched at one stage but some late hitting from Ravindra Jadeja made sure that Chennai have a respectable total on the board. They will feel they might still be 10-20 runs short but now would look to bowl well and get their first win of the season.
A scrappy last over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar but Hyderabad bowlers were splendid overall. The Ali-Rayudu partnership was looking threatening but Hyderabad didn't allow Chennai to get away with runs and pegged back with crucial wickets. Chennai would have hoped for a strong finish but will still be happy that they managed to score 37 in the last 3 overs and have gone past 150.
