- Earlier, with the exception of Dewald Brevis, who top-scored
for CSK with a 25-ball 42, and Ayush Mhatre, who made 30 in 19 deliveries, the
CSK batters struggled to get going in the must-win game.
-
- Harshal Patel was SRH's wrecker-in-chief with the ball,
returning excellent figures of 4/28 in four overs while skipper Pat Cummins too
bowled very well to pick 2/21.
-
- Brief scores.
-
- Chennai Super Kings: 154 all out in 19.5 overs (Dewald
Brevis 42; Harshal Patel 4/28).
