CSK restricted SRH to 164/5 in 20 overs.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are currently facing each other in the 14th match of IPL 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Opting to bat first, SRH got off to a terrible start as they lost their top four for just 61 runs. While CSK bowlers were firing on all cylinders, fielders were ably supporting them.
One great piece of fielding was witnessed when Faf du Plessis plucked a stunner to get rid of SRH skipper David Warner.
During the fifth delivery of 11th over, Warner danced down the track and lofted the ball, which seemed like going for a maximum but Du Plessis grabbed the ball on the jump and upon realising that he is going over the ropes, he threw the ball in the air before going over the ropes to complete the catch.

Another fielding brilliance was seen in the same over as MS Dhoni took the bails off in a flash to inflict Kane Williamson’s run-out.
Williamson flicked the ball to mid-wicket and called for a quick single but Priyam Garg didn’t respond and the former was left stranded mid-pitch. Ambati Rayudu, who was stationed at mid-wicket, gave the ball to Dhoni who completed the formalities.

Coming to the match, SRH eventually rode on Priyam Garg’s unbeaten 51 off 26 balls and Abhishek Sharma’s 24-ball 31 to post 164/5 in 20 overs. The duo shared a 77-run stand for the fifth wicket.
For CSK, Deepak Chahar was the stand-out bowler, claiming 2 wickets by conceding 31 runs in his four overs.
