SRH vs CSK IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings came face to face in IPL 2024 on 5 April. Playing first, CSK scored 165 runs thanks to Shivam Dubey’s stormy innings and Ajinkya Rahane’s 35 runs. In this, captain Rituraj Gaikwad also contributed 26 runs. At the same time, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma gave SRH a great and fast start to chase the target. But after the powerplay overs, Hyderabad’s batting also slowed down. In such a situation, the bowlers made Chennai comeback, but SRH had a lot of wickets left, so the team’s batsmen took an aggressive stance even on the slow pitch and gave the team a 6-wicket win.
By the 15th over, SRH’s score was 135 for 3 and they needed 31 runs in the last 5 overs. This looks like a very easy score, but it was not easy for SRH to do so on a low-scoring pitch. On the third ball of the 16th over, Moeen Ali dismissed Shahbaz Ahmed, who was set at the crease, on a score of 18 runs. The match became exciting and SRH needed 15 runs in the last 18 balls. The 9 runs scored by Tushar Deshpande in the 18th over made the match one-sided. Hyderabad needed only 6 runs to win in the last 2 overs. Nitish Reddy hit a six on the first ball of the 19th over and gave SRH a big win.
