Two out-swingers followed by an in-swinger. Beautiful setup from Deepak Chahar. This is full on off, Bairstow looks to drive it on the up expecting it to go away from him but this one comes in and goes right through the gate between bat and pad to disturb the stumps. Perfect start for the Men in Yellow! |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Deepak Chahar to Manish Pandey, EDGED AND FOUR! Cagey way to get off the mark but Manish Pandey is underway! Good length ball on off, this one goes away from Pandey. He looks to drive but gets a thick edge which flies through the vacant second slip region and to the fence. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Sam Curran to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Good idea! Taking advantage of the field restrictions. Full on off, Pandey sees that mid off is up so he chips it over him and gets a boundary. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Deepak Chahar to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Lovely from Manish Pandey. Good length ball on off, it comes back in. Pandey plays it on the up and just times it away from mid off and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Sam Curran to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Nicely done! Pandey looks in the mood! Full and it comes into the right-hander. Pandey hits it hard over mid on and gets another boundary. |
| 4.2: Deepak Chahar to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Nice use of the wrists! Poor length from Chahar. Deepak bangs it short and he is not the quickest so Manish pulls it over cow corner using his wrists for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Shardul Thakur to David Warner, FOUR! Will this get David Warner going? This was played really well by the left-hander! Thakur dishes a full ball on middle, Warner hammers it past the bowler and into the fence. First boundary for David Warner. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: Shardul Thakur to Manish Pandey, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder at mid off! Pandey falls after getting off a start! Thakur gets his first wicket in this year's Indian T20 League! A partnership which was building is broken. Shardul dishes a good length ball outside off, Pandey does not move his feet and then looks to go over mid off but it takes the bottom half of the bat and goes towards Curran at mid off. He takes an easy catch and Pandey has to make his walk back to the pavilion. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Shardul Thakur to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Beautiful shot to get off the mark from Kane Williamson! It was in the air for a while but wide of the fielder! Good length ball outside off, Williamson drives it past the extra cover fielder for a boundary. 50 up for Hyderabad. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Piyush Chawla to David Warner, FOUR! That's beautifully played! Floated on middle, Warner goes on his knees and then reverse sweeps it to the third man region for a boundary. |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Piyush Chawla to David Warner, FOUR! Excellent! It is short and on middle, Warner creates some room and sweeps it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Piyush Chawla to David Warner, OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent catch from Faf du Plessis! He is making an habit of taking such catches and this is not the first time we have seen the Protea take a superb catch this season.Piyush Chawla has the last laugh and the dangerous Warner has to depart just when he was changing gears. Tossed up on middle, Warner comes down the track and looks to go over long on. He gets a good height on it but the distance is not enough. Faf du Plessis at long on, times h |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Piyush Chawla to Kane Williamson, OUT! RUN OUT! This is awful news for Hyderabad. Both Warner and Williamson are out in quick succession. Chennai are all over Hyderabad at the moment and they have been very good in the field tonight. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Piyush Chawla to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! This one was a poor delivery from Chawla! Flighted down the leg side, Sharma just helps it it on its way to the fine leg region for a boundary. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! Good shot! Short on middle, Abhishek reverse hits it through point for a boundary. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! Smashed! Abhishek is a very good young batsman and he is showing his talent here. Floated on middle and off, Abhishek goes over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 14.6 : 14.6: Dwayne Bravo to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! Crisp! Full around off, Abhishek goes over mid off and gets another boundary. This young man is fearless and full of talent and he is showing it tonight. |
| 15.6: Shardul Thakur to Priyam Garg, FOUR! Garg getting into the act now. Short ball on off, Garg pulls it using his wrists over square leg and gets a boundary. The young pair of Priyam and Abhishek showcasing their talent wonderfully here and taking their side out of a dangerous situation. They need to carry on though. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Sam Curran to Priyam Garg, FOUR! Lovely shot! Yorker outside off, Garg manages to squeeze it through backward point for a boundary. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Sam Curran to Priyam Garg, NO BALL AND FOUR! Curran looks to bowl a yorker but ends up delivering a high full toss. Garg makes room and lofts it over backward point for a boundary. Free Hit to come. |
| 16.4: Sam Curran to Priyam Garg, SIX! Superb from Garg! Full on middle, Garg goes deep in his crease and heaves it over square leg for a biggie. Takes full toll of the Free Hit and the young Indian is showing his class. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Sam Curran to Priyam Garg, FOUR! Deft! Ahh... this is masterclass in batting! Full outside off, Garg after showing his power shows finesse and guides it through third man for a boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Deepak Chahar to Abhishek Sharma, DROPPED AND FOUR! Can you believe it? Jadeja drops a catch! You don't see that too often.

| 17.6 : 17.6: Deepak Chahar to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Dhoni will not drop these dollies and he does not! End of a terrific knock from Abhishek Sharma. He, along with Garg, have taken Hyderabad to a respectable score. Slower short ball outside off, Sharma looks to pull but gets an inside edge which goes back to Dhon who makes no mistake. Chahar has a smile on the face. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: Dwayne Bravo to Priyam Garg, FOUR! Excellently played from Garg! Full ball on off, Garg goes on his knees and then paddles it over the short fine leg region for a boundary. Good start to the over. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Shane Watson, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Chennai are off to a poor start again! Watson's struggles in this year's Indian T20 League continues. Kumar was troubling Watson with his line and length and he gets his reward. Back of a length ball outside off, Watson looks to cut but it takes the inside edge and it goes onto hit the stumps. Warner is happy as he knows how important that wicket is. Chennai need 161 from 105 balls. |

| 5.1 : 5.1: T Natarajan to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! BOWLED! What a beauty from Natarajan! Absolute peach to get rid of Ambati Rayudu. A little lapse in concentration as well from Ambati Rayudu. Natrajan steams in and bowls a length ball with a beautiful seam position. It pitches around leg and goes away from Rayudu. Ambati looks to defend but misreads the swing and the ball misses his outside edge to hit the top of middle and off. Rayudu looked excellent in his first outing but does not have a fairytale |
| 5.3 : 5.3: T Natarajan to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Faf continues his good scoring run! Length ball on middle, du Plessis comes down the ground and goes over the head of Natarajan for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: T Natarajan to Faf du Plessis, FOUR! Once again excellent use of the feet from the South African. Length ball on middle, Faf makes a bit of room by going away from his stumps and also dances down the track to flat-bat it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: T Natarajan to Kedar Jadhav, OUT! RUN OUT! Faf is short of his crease and the ball has hit the stump. The two Chennai batters who have been the best batters for the side are back in the pavillion in quick succession. Chennai in huge trouble now. On the pads, Kedar flicks it to deep mid-wicket. Priyam Garg is having an awesome game here and cannot do much wrong tonight. He gets to the ball quickly and sends a throw at the keeper's end. Faf is slow in his stride. Bairstow runs towards the |
| 8.2 : 8.2: Abdul Samad to Kedar Jadhav, OUT! CAUGHT! The change in bowling does the trick! Excellent captaincy from Warner. Floated leg spinner around off, Kedar looks to hit it on the up but ends up hitting it uppishly straight to short extra cover. The ball comes at a good pace but Warner is too good a fielder to drop those and he pouches it in safely as he tumbles to the ground. 123 needed off 70 balls now. Hyderabad on top at this point of time but with MS Dhoni still out in the middle,à |
| 10.2: Abdul Samad to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Get your hand out of the way, Samad! That went like a tracer bullet! Chennai need much more of these! Floated ball on off, Dhoni hammers it past the bowler and into the long off fence. |
| 13.2: T Natarajan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! That has raced to the boundary! Will this get Jadeja going? Low full toss on the pads, Jadeja flicks it beautifully through square leg for a boundary. |
| 14.2: Abdul Samad to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! Just over the fielder! Jadeja needs to hit more balls into the stands! Flighted ball on middle, Jadeja dances down the track and lifts it over long on for a maximum. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Rashid Khan to MS Dhoni, FOUR! This time Dhoni waits for the ball to come to him and then pulls it away from the fielder towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ravindra Jadeja, EDGED AND FOUR! Lucky but Chennai need everything that comes their way. Back of a length on middle and off, Jadeja looks to pull but gets an inside edge which goes to the left and away from Bairstow. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Bad ball and Jadeja gets another boundary. Good start to the over for Chennai. Short on the body, Jadeja pulls it over short fine leg for a boundary. 50-run stand comes up between the two. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Hat-trick of boundaries! Perfect for Chennai. Yorker but on the pads, Jadeja flicks it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: T Natarajan to Ravindra Jadeja, DROPPED AND FOUR! The fielding has been good so far but not on this occasion! What's worse is that it goes for a boundary! Good length ball on off, Jadeja miscues it towards long off. Pandey moves backwards but fails to hold on and the ball goes to the fence. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: T Natarajan to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! Chennai needed biggies and Jadeja has got one. FIFTY FOR JADEJA! Natarajan attempts a yorker but bowls a full toss on the pads, Jadeja flicks it over square leg and gets to his fifty in style. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: T Natarajan to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! CAUGHT! Fifty and out for Jadeja! This is what the pressure of the required runs going up does. Short ball on middle, Jadeja pulls it but straight to Abdul Samad at deep square leg. He does not have to move an inch and the youngster takes a simple catch. Dhoni is still out there and the batters have crossed as that catch has been taken. No, they have not crossed. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: T Natarajan to Sam Curran, SIX! Sam Curran has hit one of the biggest sixes off the first ball he has faced. Bouncer on middle, Curran pulls it way over backward square leg for a biggie. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Khaleel Ahmed to MS Dhoni, MISFIELD AND FOUR! Poor from Samad. Back of a length on middle, Dhoni pulls it to the left of deep mid-wicket. Samad gets there but the ball goes between his legs and to the fence. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Khaleel Ahmed to MS Dhoni, SIX! Just what Chennai needed! Poor from Khaleel. He bowls a length ball on off and middle, Dhoni pulls it flat over mid-wicket for a biggie. 29 off 7! |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Abdul Samad to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Good ball but Dhoni has hit it like a bullet! Tossed up very full on off, Dhoni comes down a bit and hits it straight and hard past Samad for a boundary. 17 needed now off 4 balls. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Abdul Samad to Sam Curran, SIX! Curran finishes it in style but it is not enough! Tossed up on middle, Curran comes down the track and hits it straight over Abdul Samad's head for a biggie. Does not matter though! HYDERABAD WIN BY 7 RUNS! |
