CRICKET
Chennai Super Kings bowlers set the game up for their batters restricting Sunrisers Hyderabad to 134/7 with Bravo and Hazlewood taking wickets.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) became the first team to qualify for the playoffs as they notched up their ninth win of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) beating the Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets in the last over with skipper MS Dhoni hitting a six to get his side over the line.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis continued their exceptional form against the Sunrisers Hyderabad as the duo broke the back of the chase in the first six overs. Both of them were really watchful in the first couple of overs but just took off after that
Gaikwad began the attack hitting Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a couple of boundaries and Faf du Plessis started firing from the other end as well, after which it didn't matter for them, wh came into the attack, whether Jason Holder or Rashid Khan.
They brought up a fifty-run partnership in the 7th over and this was their 6th 50-plus stand in 11 innings in IPL 2021. Holder broke the 75-run partnership but CSK were cruising since the total wasn't big enough but West Indian all-rounder made the game interesting with wickets of du Plessis and Suresh Raina in the same over.

But Ambati Rayudu and Dhoni ensured they didn't have any more hiccups even though it went to the last over.
The game, however, was set up by a disciplined bowling performance by the CSK bowlers, especially by their pace duo of Dwayne Bravo and Josh Hazlewood who shared five wickets between them.
Hazlewood started the wickets procession with the wicket of big-hitting Jason Roy and Bravo followed it up with skipper Kane Williamson's dismissal. After which it was s struggle for SRH's inexperienced middle-order and Bravo and Hazlewood with support from Ravindra Jadeja made merry restricting them to 134/7.
