| 1.6: Tushar Deshpande to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! Good shot! Tushar Deshpande serves this full and outside off, Abhishek Sharma frees his arms and slices it wide of third man for a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Akash Singh to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! Just over! Akash Singh bowls this full, but down the leg side, Abhishek Sharma picks it up and flicks it away with the bottom half of the bat, but it has enough power to go over the fine leg fence for a biggie. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Tushar Deshpande to Harry Brook, FOUR! Nice shot! Tushar Deshpande serves this full and around off, Harry Brook makes room and carves it through covers for a boundary. |

| 4.2 : 4.2: Akash Singh to Harry Brook, OUT! TAKEN! Akash Singh draws first blood! Harry Brook goes back to the hut now. Singh serves this full and around off, Harry Brook looks to cut it away, but is a bit late and ends up slicing it in the air towards wide backward point where Ruturaj Gaikwad takes a sharp catch diving forward. Hyderabad lose their first wicket! |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Maheesh Theekshana to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! A boundary off the last ball surely spoils the over for Maheesh Theekshana. It is tossed up, outside off. Abhishek Sharma goes inside out this time and lofts it over extra cover for a boundary. At the end of Powerplay, Hyderabad are 45/1. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: Moeen Ali to Rahul Tripathi, SIX! BANG! Rahul Tripathi puts some early pressure on Moeen Ali. It is full, on middle and leg. Rahul Tripathi uses his wrists here and tonks it over the mid-wicket fence. He hits it flat but gets enough distance on it to clear the fence. |
| 7.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR! Once again boundary off the first ball. This is brilliant shot from Abhishek Sharma. A bit shortish, angling across, outside off. Abhishek Sharma cuts it late in front of backward point. The ball races away to the fence. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Moeen Ali to Rahul Tripathi, FOUR! It is fuller, turning into the batter. Rahul Tripathi shuffles inside the line, creates the angle and sweeps it to deep square leg for a boundary. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Ravindra Jadeja finds the breakthrough his team was looking for and also, he gets rid of the set-batter in Abhishek Sharma. It is a bit short, on middle. Abhishek Sharma goes for the pull shot but does not time it at all. One might say he holed out to a nothing shot here. Nevertheless, he has had a great impact being pushed up the order. It is Ajinkya Rahane who takes a sharp catch at long on diving forward. |
| 10.3 : 10.3: Matheesha Pathirana to Aiden Markram, FOUR! Sweet timing! Matheesha Pathirana lands this back of a length and around off, Aiden Markram punches it with great timing as the ball races to the deep point fence for a boundary. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Rahul Tripathi, OUT! TAKEN! Ravindra Jadeja strikes again! Rahul Tripathi's struggling knock comes to end. This is tossed up, full and around off, grips and turns away a bit, Rahul Tripathi goes down and tries to sweep it away, but only manages to get a top edge due to the turn and bounce as the ball flies in the air towards short fine leg where Akash Singh runs to his left and pouches it safely. Hyderabad three down now! |
| 12.5 : 12.5: Maheesh Theekshana to Aiden Markram, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Maheesh Theekshana gets a wicket now, and it is huge one of Aiden Markram. He bowls this quicker, short and around off, skids through too, Aiden Markram makes room and tries to cut it away, but only manages to get an outside edge and MS Dhoni takes a sharp catch behind the stumps. Hyderabad are losing their way a bit here as they are four down now. |
| 13.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! STUMPED! Ravindra Jadeja gets his third wicket now! He darts this one full and around off seeing the batter advance, Mayank Agarwal tries to throw his bat at it, but is late and misses it and MS Dhoni does the rest behind the stumps. This is really clever from Jadeja and he won't be bothered about that catch now as he has got his man. Hyderabad lose half their side now! |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Maheesh Theekshana to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR! A much-needed boundary for Hyderabad. It is pitched up, on off. Heinrich Klaasen stands tall and lofts it over covers. There are three fielders after it but no can keep it in play. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Matheesha Pathirana to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! CAUGHT! Matheesha Pathirana picks the big wicket of Heinrich Klaasen and Hyderabad now are in all sorts of trouble here. They have no recognised batter left to have a go in the death overs. Matheesha Pathirana strikes at a crucial juncture of this match. It is full and on off. Heinrich Klaasen throws the kitchen sink at it but only to find Ruturaj Gaikwad at extra cover, who takes a solid catch diving forward. |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Tushar Deshpande to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Just what the doctor ordered for Hyderabad. A good-length ball, on off. Washington Sundar stays back and smacks it over mid off. The fielder is inside the circle and the ball has enough legs to reach the fence. |
| 19.4: Matheesha Pathirana to Marco Jansen, FOUR! Marco Jansen connects this time and gets the desired result. It is full, outside off. Marco Jansen swings hard at it. The ball takes the outside edge and flies down to deep backward point for four runs. |
| 19.6 : 19.6: Matheesha Pathirana to Marco Jansen, OUT! RUN OUT! MS Dhoni on the money! It is fuller, on middle and leg, shaping in. Jansen fails to connect. It sneaks past his blade and past the leg pole as well. MS Dhoni is ready with his gloves off. Washington Sundar is early into his run-up but Dhoni is just too quick. He scores a direct-hit at the striker's end and Washington Sundar is well shot. The same is confirmed by the third umpire. Hyderabad end their innings at 134/7. |
| 0.1 : 0.1: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! The cheers get louder straightaway as Ruturaj Gaikwad opens his account with a cracking boundary. Back of a length, outside off. Ruturaj Gaikwad stands tall and punches it through point for four runs. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Marco Jansen to Devon Conway, FOUR! Classic Conway! It is full, wide outside off. Conway frees his arms and slices it over extra cover. The ball races away. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Marco Jansen to Ruturaj Gaikwad, FOUR! Second boundary of the over. Marco Jansen gets off to an expensive start. A loosener to end his first over, to be honest. Very easy for Ruturaj Gaikwad. It is full, sliding down leg. Ruturaj Gaikwad tickles it down to fine leg for a boundary. Not the start Hyderabad envisioned. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Aiden Markram to Devon Conway, FOUR! Slashed away! Back of a length, outside off. Conway stays back and cuts it square on the off it. The ball races away to the fence. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Aiden Markram to Devon Conway, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries. Impeccable timing. It is flatter, around off. Conway stays back and knocks it through the gap at point for another boundary. |
| 5.2: Marco Jansen to Devon Conway, FOUR! Just wide! Marco Jansen lands this on a hard length and around off, Devon Conway moves across and scoops it uppishly off the inner half and just wide of short fine leg for a boundary. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Marco Jansen to Devon Conway, FOUR! Same shot, same result! Marco Jansen serves this full and on middle, slower too, Devon Conway shuffles across and this time scoops it from the middle of the bat and towards the fine leg fence for another boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Marco Jansen to Devon Conway, SIX! BOOM! Marco Jansen bangs in a sharp bouncer, on middle, Devon Conway gets hurried and goes for the pull shot, but gets a top edge as the ball flies over the wide fine leg fence for a biggie this time. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Marco Jansen to Devon Conway, FOUR! Deft touch! Marco Jansen bowls this on a hard length and around off, Devon Conway waits for it and opens the face at the last moment to guides it past short third man for four more runs. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Marco Jansen to Devon Conway, FOUR! 23 runs off the over! Chennai are 60 for no loss at the end of Powerplay! Marco Jansen lands this short of a length and around off, again, Devon Conway once again waits for it and steers it between short third man and backward point for a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Mayank Markande to Devon Conway, FOUR! FIFTY FOR CONWAY! Hat-tricks of fifties and he has been excellent for Chennai! Mayank Markande lands this short adn outside off, Devon Conway moves back and cuts it hard and wide of deep point for a boundary. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Umran Malik to Devon Conway, OUT! RUN OUT! A very unlucky dismissal for Ruturaj Gaikwad! Umran Malik serves this full and on middle, Devon Conway drives it well down the pitch where Umran Malik goes down and manages to get a hand to it as the ball goes and hits the stumps at the bowler's end with Gaikwad out of the crease. He never had a chance to get back, and Conway has his hands on his head in disappointment. Hyderabad finally gets a breakthrough and Ruturaj Gaikwad goes back after |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Mayank Dagar to Devon Conway, FOUR! Nicely played. Back of a length, outside off. Devon Conway stays back and cuts it hard through covers for four runs. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Mayank Markande to Devon Conway, FOUR! Conway is on a roll. He is finding the fence every over now. It is pitched up, on off. Conway drills it down the park for a fine boundary. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Mayank Markande to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! CAUGHT! Mayank Markande gets his first wicket. A timely one as well. The dot ball pressure has certainly done the trick for him. It is floated and full, on off. Ajinkya Rahane uses his feet and tries to flick it away. All he manages to get is a thick outside edge. Aiden Markram juggles the ball a couple of times before grabbing it at first slip. |
| 15.6 : 15.6: Mayank Dagar to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! Short ball, in the channel. A bit quicker as well. Ambati Rayudu waits for it, uses the pace of the ball and runs it down to the third man fence with much ease. |
| 16.6: Mayank Markande to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! TIMBER! Mayank Markande strikes again! He bowls the googly now, on middle, turning in sharply, Ambati Rayudu looks to drive, but fails to pick it as the ball goes through the huge gap between bat and ball and shatter the stumps. Chennai three down now! |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Umran Malik to Devon Conway, FOUR! Fine shot! Umran Malik serves this full and around off, Devon Conway stays there and lofts it over mid off for a boundary. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Umran Malik to Devon Conway, FOUR! A streaky boundary! Umran Malik bangs in a sharp bouncer, on off, Devon Conway initially winds up for the pull, but in the end, he adjusts well to ramp it towards the third-man fence for a boundary. Chennai are one hit away from victory! |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Washington Sundar to Moeen Ali, FOUR! Moeen Ali hits the winning runs! Washington Sundar tosses this up, full and on middle, Moeen Ali clears his front leg and smashes it over mid on for a boundary. CHENNAI WIN BY 7 WICKETS! |
