Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated the Chennai Super Kings by 10 runs to go 4th in the IPL 2026. CSK, who were on a two-match unbeaten run, were let down by the failure of the batters. Chasing 195, the five-time champions reached 184/8 in their allotted 20 overs.

Sanju Samson was dismissed for 7 runs off 3 balls while captain Ruturaj Gaikwad remained a walking wicket, amassing 19 runs off 13 balls. Ayush Mhatre posted 13-ball 30, but an injury impacted him. He struck 5 fours and 1 six.

Matthew Short looked good before he perished while trying to match the required run-rate. The Aussie player contributed 34 runs in 30 balls.

Sarfaraz Khan tried his best to put the bowler under pressure, but Ehsan Malinga got rid of him. The pocket dynamo managed 25 in 19 deliveries. Dewald Brevis (0) perished without failed to open his account. Shviam Dube (21 off 16) was cleaned up by Sakib Hussain.

Malinga took three wickets while two scalps went to Nitish Kumar Reddy. Sakib and Praful Hinge picked up one wicket each.

Earlier, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head went all guns blazing, adding 75 runs in 5.5 overs for the first wicket in the SRH vs CSK match. Abhishek (59 off 22) and Head (23 off 20) gave a flying start to the Men in Orange. Ishan Kishan, the stand-in skipper, returned to the dressing room without troubling the scorers.

Heinrich Klaasen, the most consistent batter, scored 59 runs off 39 deliveries, with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes. He is the current holder of the Orange Cap. The remaining batters had no answer to the brilliance of the rival bowlers.

Aniket Verma (2), Nitish (12), Salil Arora (13) and Liam Livingstone (1) played ordinary cricket as SRH reached 194/9.

Anshul Kamboj and Jamie Overton picked up three wickets each while Mukesh Choudhary claimed two scalps. Gurjapneet Singh also dismissed one batter.
