Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 78 runs in the Power-play with a 36-ball fifty by Aiden Markram to register a six-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to get their second successive home win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday.
After SRH bowlers, especially the seamers, used the slowness of the pitch to their advantage by bowling slower balls to restrict CSK to 165/5, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma came out swinging to decide the result of the match in the Power-play itself. Eventually, SRH completed the chase in 18.1 overs to give CSK their second successive defeat on the road.
