Mumbai, May 23: In the Indian Premier League Qualifier 1, the Chennai Super Kings have won the match against the Mighty Sun Risers Hyderabad.
Winning the Toss, Chennai has asked SRH to bat first and they restrict the SRH team below 150 runs. Needing 140 runs to win, Chennai made heavy weather of what should have been a comfortable chase before crossing the line with five balls to spare.
We all knew that CSK have reached the final seven times in the nine seasons they have competed in the IPl. They had missed out on the previous two seasons as they were banned following the spot fixing and betting scandal.
South Africa Star Bastmen, Du Plessis batted through the innings to remain not out on 67 runs, with five hits to the fence and four sixes studding his 42-ball knock. The opener kept on playing sensibly throughout even as no other batman clicked at the other end.
Brief scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad: 139/7 in 20 overs (Carlos Brathwaite 43 not out; Dwayne Bravo 2/25) against Chennai Super Kings: 140/8 in 19.1 overs (Du Plesis 67; Rashid Khan 2/12)
