Overview
- Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Chennai Super Kings by 10 runs on Saturday in Hyderabad, lifting SRH to fourth on the table and dropping CSK to seventh with two wins in six.
- Eshan Malinga’s 3 for 29 and Shivang Kumar’s tight spell halted CSK’s chase, and Praful Hinge defended 18 in the final over by allowing seven and dismissing Jamie Overton.
- Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen hit 59s to set 194 for 9, though CSK’s Jamie Overton and Anshul Kamboj shared six wickets to keep the hosts under 200.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad said CSK stalled right after the 10-over mark by scoring only four runs in two overs, which left 84 needed off the last 10 and proved too steep as they finished 184 for 8.
- CSK batting coach Michael Hussey said Ayush Mhatre has a hamstring tear with scans pending and is likely to miss games, a setback that could force changes before Thursday’s trip to Mumbai; SRH captain Ishan Kishan praised his young bowling group, and Ravichandran Ashwin questioned Gaikwad’s confidence.
