Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) faced Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 29th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 in Dubai on Tuesday (October 13).

Opting to bat first, CSK posted 167/7 in 20 overs with notable contributions from Shane Watson (42 off 38 balls), Ambati Rayudu (41 off 34 balls) and Sam Curran (31 off 21 balls). Ravindra Jadeja (25* off 10 balls) and MS Dhoni (21 off 13 balls) also played valuable cameos.

For SRH, Sandeep Sharma was the stand-out bowler, claiming two wickets by conceding only 19 runs in his four overs.

In reply, Sunrisers could only manage 147/8 in 20 overs. It was a disappointing batting chart as none of them except for Kane Williamson (57 off 39 balls) managed to cross the 30-run mark.

Karn Sharma (2-37) and Dwayne Bravo (2-25) claimed two scalps each for CSK, while Sam Curran (1-18), Shardul Thakur (1-10) and Jadeja (1-21) chipped in with wicket apiece.

Cricket experts were impressed with CSK’s bounce back against SRH after some heavy losses in the previous fixtures.
