A fine comeback from Chennai Super Kings at the end as they restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to below the 200 mark. After a fiery start from Abhishek Sharma and a solid half century from Heinrich Klaasen, SRH looked set for a total around 220.

But late strikes from Anshul Kamboj and Jamie Overton turned things around in the death overs and didn’t allow Hyderabad to finish strong. CSK will feel they have pulled things back well and SRH might be short by around 20 runs.
