IPL 2024 Points Table: Sunrisers Hyderabad quickly returned to winning ways with a six-wicket triumph over Chennai Super Kings in the 18th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 on Friday.
Pat Cummins-led SRH registered their only second win of the season after an inconsistent start to the 2024 season. A win boosted Sunrisers to fifth spot in the updated points table with four points in their four games with an impressive positive net run rate of 0.409.
On the other hand, defending champions Chennai Super Kings remain in third place in the updated points table after two consecutive losses.
Meanwhile, a much-improved bowling performance helped Hyderabad restrict Chennai to 165/5 while bowling first at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Then a fifty from Aiden Markram and 37 off 12 balls from in-form youngster Abhishek Sharma guided Hyderabad to an easy chase with 11 balls remaining.
