Chennai Super Kings became the first team to qualify for IPL 2021 playoffs after defeating the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium earlier tonight. The Chennai-based franchise now have 18 points to their name and will aim to secure a place in the Top 2 of the IPL standings.Meanwhile, the Sunrisers Hyderabad's slender chances of making it to the 2021 Indian Premier League no longer exist. The Orange Army suffered its eighth defeat of the season and continued to languish in the last position.Earlier in the evening, CSK captain MS Dhoni won the toss and invited SRH to bat first in Sharjah. Experts said the pitch in Sharjah was better for batting this time around, but the Orange Army struggled to score runs. Wriddhiman Saha's 46-ball 44 helped them post a 134-run total on the board.The likes of Jason Roy, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg and Jason Holder failed to score big. Josh Hazlewood was the pick of the bowlers for CSK, with figures of 3/24. DJ Bravo supported with a 2/17 in four overs, while Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur bagged a wicket each.In reply, Chennai Super Kings started off brilliantly as their in-form opening pair of Faf du Plessis and Ruturaj Gaikwad, a 75-run partnership. Gaikwad aggregated 45 runs off 38 deliveries and du Plessis supported him with a 36-ball 41.Although the two opening batters could not finish off the run-chase, their contributions ensured CSK won by six wickets. Eventually skipper Dhoni finished things off in style with a maximum off Siddarth Kaul's bowling.Also Check: IPL Live Score | IPL 2021 Captains | IPL ScheduleBest memes from the IPL 2021 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super KingsFans were quite active on social media as always during the IPL 2021 matches.
