It was of prime importance for CSK to win the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday night but unfortunately, they lost the nail-biting encounter in Dubai by 7 runs.
Chasing a 165-run target, CSK were restricted to 157/5 in 20 overs, courtesy some economical spells by the SRH bowlers, who were clinical enough to defend a moderate total. This was the second straight win for SRH, who had scored 164 for five wickets in 20 overs after winning the toss. They now take the 2 points from the victory and move to fourth in the standings while Chennai remain last with their one win coming in the tournament-opener against Mumbai Indians two weeks back.
