CSK vs SRH, Last Match Scorecard: Highlights and Results 

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), two teams at opposite ends of the table, are set to lock horns with each other in Match 29 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. As per the IPL schedule, the upcoming game will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday, April 21.

The Sunrisers, who are placed ninth in the IPL 2023 points table, have won just two of their first five games. They will enter tonight's game on the back of a defeat against the Mumbai Indians (MI) at home.

After winning the toss, the hosts asked MI to bat first in Hyderabad. Rohit Sharma (28) and Ishan Kishan (38) gave their team a rapid start but couldn't manage to score a big one.

Cameron Green took over and raced past his half-century in just 33 balls. Youngster Tilak Verma also instilled some impetus into the MI innings with his well-made 17-ball 37. It helped them reach a score of 192/5 in 20 overs.

Chasing a challenging target, SRH needed to get off to a bright start. However, both Harry Brook and Rahul Tripathi lost their wickets early to Jason Behrendorff.

Mayank Agarwal and Aiden Markram added 46 for the third wicket before MI pegged back into the game with two more quick wickets.

Heinrich Klaasen gave MI a scare with a terrific exhibition of big-hitting, going after Piyush Chawla and launching him for 4,6,6,4. However, the leg-spinner had the last laugh as Klaasen was caught for 36 off 16 while attempting another big hit.

In the end, MI bowlers showcased a great application in the death overs, restricting SRH to 178, thus winning their third consecutive game by 14 runs.
