On Episode 29 of The T20 Podcast, Ayaz Memon and I talk about Chennai’s 20-run victory over Hyderabad on Tuesday night in Dubai.
Chennai had come into the match on the back of two successive defeats but put up a solid all-round show to finally move up the league table. After scoring 167/6 in their 20 overs, Dhoni’s team restricted Warner’s to 147/8 despite some late fightback by Kane Williamson who scored 57.
Both teams now have 6 points from 8 games but Hyderabad are placed higher in the standings due to a better run rate.
