IPL 2022, CSK vs SRH, Highlights: CSK win by 13 runs despite Pooran's resistance
CSK win by 13 runs. Pooran did everything he could. If he had one good partner at the other end, the result, perhaps, could have been different. But cricket is a game of very fine margins. Nonetheless, it was all CSK today.38 runs | 6 balls - Time for the last over formalities. Pooran completes his 50. He has been really lucky this innings.
Poor fielding from CSK. They have dropped Pooran twice in as many balls. Doesn't really matter. CSK on top.
SRH 153/6 in 18 overs
Mukesh to bowl the 18th over. Shashank smacks the first ball over extra cover for a boundary. Mukesh follows it up with 2 dot deliveries. OUT! Mukesh has his man. Short ball and Singh edges it to Dhoni. Just 4 from the over till now. Sundar is the new batter and he doesn't last long. Tries to scoop it over fine leg, exposes the stumps, and pays the price. What an over this turned out to be for CSK. The chase killer?
SRH 147/4 in 17 overs
SRH need 56 in the last 3 overs. Pooran is still out there. Shashank has shown us in the last match that he can strike the ball a long way. Next over will decide where this match goes.
SRH 89/3 in 10 overs
Markram was looking in good touch before Santner sent him packing. Pooran is the new batter. SRH will hope this duo builds up a strong partnership.
SRH 58/2 in 6 overs
Talk about having a big day at the office. Mukesh, who earlier dropped a catch, comes back into the attack and sends Abhishek and Tripathi packing. The match has turned on its head. Both Tripathi and Sharma were the main guys for SRH. Onto Williamson now. He needs to deliver today.
CSK would be disappointed in the end. 202 isn't a bad total, but considering the way things panned out, they would have fancied a lot more. SRH have a huge target to chase. Williamson needs to step up today. Will he?
CSK 153/0 in 15 overs: Alright, it's absolute carnage at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. SRH have no idea what to do. Gaikwad is nearing his century. Conway has completed his fifty, and he looks in the zone. SRH are in deep trouble here. They need at least 3 quick wickets to stop the juggernaut.
CSK 60/0 in 8 overs: Umran Malik comes into the attack. Will be exciting to see how CSK handles him. Alright, they'll go after him. A four, followed by a six from Gaikwad. Good over for CSK. 13 off it.
Gaikwad has now completed 1000 runs in the IPL. He is a class player. A lot more to come.
CSK 40/0 in 6 overs: The powerplay is done with. CSK would have wanted a bit more on board, but will be happy as they have not lost wickets.
CSK 18/0 in 3 over: Good start for CSK. Both Conway and Gaikwad are looking in good touch. It's all yellow in the stands.
