IPL 2019 Highlights, Chennai Super Kings Vs SunRisers Hyderabad: Shane Watson's 96 Powers CSK Home

Welcome to the highlights of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SHR).

Here are the highlights of CSK vs SRH IPL match:

Chennai Super Kings now have 8 wins in the ongoing tournament and now sit comfortably on top of the table. They have probably sealed their play-off spot, just like they have done in all the seasons. A good tactical move by Dhoni and Fleming to get back Harbhajan today, who was good with the ball.

SRH was in the game with the early dismissal of Faf. But Shane Watson, who until now had had a very poor season, played splendid innings as he smashed SRH bowlers all over the park. Rashid Khan was taken for a ride by Watson. Watson managed to get the better of the Afghan spinner and his assault spoilt Rashid's figures. And as usual, CSK tends to take the game in the last over and they won it yet again.

Watson started the chase as he played down an entire first over. A maiden over for Bhuvi at the start. And then Watto suddenly found his lost touch and took CSK within distance of the target. Missed his century by 4 runs. Raina played a crucial knock as he pressed the accelerator in the powerplay. CSK continue to dominate at home. 

SRH will be happy with the way Manish Pandey played today. He was brilliant in the powerplay and carried on till the end. Bairstow will be flying back after this game and probably Martin Guptill will come in. Probably Pandey can be their No.3 till Kane Williamson comes back. 

CSK is one team who keep their playing XI consistent. They rarely change their team. Watson was poor all season, CSK kept backing him. And he won the game for CSK today. Watson who received the man of the match, thanked MSD and Fleming for having faith in him. He also adds that just like in the past, other teams would have benched him if he was out of form. So he wanted to pay back for that faith that the management had shown in him.

SRH are at the 4th spot with 10 points.

11:33: Sandeep to bowl the last over. Kedar goes for a big shot in the deep mid wicket region. Pandey almost saves it from crossing the line. But he has just stepped over the fence with his ball still in the hand. Six runs. Kedar smashes it straight to the mid-off. Batsmen pick up a single. Short ball and Rayudu goes for the pull and it is a top edge and he is caught at mid-off. Bravo makes his way into the middle. Kedar Jadhav hits it straight, the ball hits Bravo and hits the stumps.
