Hyderabad: Economical performance by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan helps Sunrisers Hyderabad to restrict CSK at a below-par total of 132 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, here.
Leg-spinner Rashid clinched two important wickets at a crucial point where CSK were at a dominating position. Rashid took the wicket of inform Suresh Raina and Kedar Jadhav. After that Sam Billings who was replacing Dhoni got out on a duck.
Ravindra Jadeja played an odd inning where he scored 10 runs in 20 balls.
Earlier, Shane Watson and Faf du Plessis gave a flying start to the visitors by putting up an opening stand of 79 runs. Watson was sent to the dugout by Shane Watson left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem.
du Plessis fell five-run short from his first half-century of the season. Ambati Rayudu, who became the talk of the town after not getting selected for the World Cup, took CSK to a respected total with 25 run cameo.
Khaleel Ahmed, Vijay Shankar and Nadeem picked one wicket each for SRH. While Sandeep Sharma and Bhuvneshwar went wicketless in the innings.
SRH will be highly dependent on their openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to chase down 132 as the middle order is not playing up to the potential.
