SRH win
Sunrisers Hyderabad sussed out the conditions quicker than Chennai Super Kings on a black-soil surface and cruised to their second successive win at home. In the absence of Mustafizur Rahman, who has returned to Bangladesh to sort out his US visa for the upcoming T20 World Cup, and Matheesha Pathirana, who is nursing a niggle, a depleted CSK side slid to their second successive defeat on the road.
Last week Hyderabad had rolled out a red-soil pitch that produced a 277 for 3 vs 246 for 5 contest. Friday's pitch was a whole lot slower than that and Sunrisers' seamers used it to their advantage by bowling one slower ball after another into it. After Pat Cummins and Co limited CSK to 165 for 5, Sunrisers smashed 78 alone in the powerplay.
Sunrisers eventually completed their chase with nearly two overs and six wickets to spare
