SRH vs CSK, IPL 2018 Live Cricket Score: Chennai Super Kings beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by two wickets

B Kumar to S Watson, Play and a miss first up! Fuller delivery, swinging away a bit, Watson leans ahead to defend it with a straight bat but the ball moves away and whizzes past the outside edge of his bat.

We are back for the chase. Chennai have a below par target to chase down, as Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis stride out to the middle. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will open with the ball. His spell in the Powerplay will be key. A slip in place for him...

The target is quite low considering the history of this venue but in a crunch game like this, anything is possible. Hyderabad are a team possessing one of the best bowling attacks and they are quite capable of defending this total. For Chennai, start will be important. The lower ones often prove to be trickier and the 2-time champions would be aware of it. Let's see how they approach. Join us in a short while.

It was a dismal batting show by Hyderabad in this pressure game. Their top order got blown away while the middle order once again failed to step up. The Chennai bowlers were stupendous and overall their game plan was to the T. The use of bowlers from MS Dhoni was simply brilliant and everyone looked charged up for this encounter. They were so much on song that Dhoni didn't even feel the need to bowl his most experienced bowler, Harbhajan Singh. Dwayne Bravo was the standout performer and the rest also contributed equally well. Shardul Thakur, though, was unfortunate to be at the receiving end of Carlos Brathwaite in the last over. Otherwise, he too bowled nicely.

20 runs in the final over and the 51-run stand between Carlos Brathwaite and Bhuvneshwar Kumar have provided some respectability to Hyderabad's total. Although, they have managed a below par total, the momentum currently is with them. Carlos Brathwaite certainly reminded everyone about his name and if Hyderabad manage to pull off a win today - the Indian T20 League will surely 'Remember the name!'

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, OUT! Run out to end proceedings. Short one by Thakur, well-directed, Carlos tries to pull but misses. They attempt to steal a bye but Dhoni scores a direct hit after collecting the ball. Kumar is well short and HYDERABAD END ON 139/7!

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, SIX! All power! He is a powerhouse! We know that. Windies know that. Eden Gardens knows that. Ben Stokes also knows that. This one is short and wide outside off, Brathwaite latches onto it and launches it over the bowler's head.

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, Wide! Sliding down the leg side, on a shortish length, Brathwaite swings and misses.

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, FOUR! Boom! Too full and wide outside off, once again Carlos has his weight on the back leg but does well with his extension of arms. Connects superbly and sends it rocketing to the deep cover fence.

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, SIX! High and handsome! Thakur aims for the blockhole but ends up serving a full toss outside off, Brathwaite dismisses it from his sight and clears mid-wicket with ease.

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, A miscued paddle scoop has travelled to deep mid-wicket and they take a couple. It went off the toe end of the bat, showed the replays.

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, Wide! Too full and very wide outside off, Brathwaite swishes and misses. The reason he didn't get his bat on ball was his entire weight was on his back leg.

S Thakur to C Brathwaite, Hits the yorker mark outside off, Brathwaite digs it out to covers and denies the single. Hmmm...

Shardul Thakur to bowl the last over.

L Ngidi to C Brathwaite, Width on offer outside off, Carlos runs it down to third man and keeps strike for the next over with a run.

L Ngidi to B Kumar, Shortish and outside off, Kumar flat-bats it over covers and it goes on one bounce to the fielder in the deep. A single taken.

L Ngidi to B Kumar, Swing and a miss. Bhuvneshwar winds up for a big shot over the leg side but is beaten for pace. That's not his forte, he should be looking to rotate the strike and hand it back to the big West Indian.

L Ngidi to C Brathwaite, On a shortish length on off, Brathwaite deflects it down to third man and picks up a single.

L Ngidi to C Brathwaite, Play and a miss! Good length ball angling into the batsman, around off at 134.8 kph, Brathwaite shuffles across the stumps with an attempted paddle scoop but fails to make any connection. When you got so much power, why not back your strength and go downtown...
