It was a different pitch made from black soil. However, that did not matter to Sunrisers Hyderabad, who registered their second successive win at home, defeating big brother Chennai Super Kings by six wickets. Unlike the first home match against Mumbai Indians where Sunrisers Hyderabad racked up a record 277-3 in their 31-run win, Friday’s match saw the teams grappling with a slow wicket. The first match was played on a mixed black and red soil pitch.
Slow pitch
“It was a different soil and slowed up as the game went on,’’ said SRH captain Pat Cummins after the match.

Cummins gambled on bringing the fast bowlers back. “We took a chance with the fast bowlers bowling cutters,” said Cummins.
