| 1.2 : 1.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Sam Curran, FOUR! Width offered this time and Curran slams it. Short and wide outside off, Curran thumps it over point and finds the first boundary of the match. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Sandeep Sharma to Faf du Plessis, OUT! CAUGHT! Du Plessis goes first ball! Terrific from Sandeep. Faf has been waiting to face the first ball from the last two overs. He wanted to feel the ball and hence he went after this wide one. Also, Sandeep managed to bring the ball back in to the right-hander. It is a bit short too. Faf has a poke away from his body. He ends up getting an outside edge to the keeper. Bairstow is safe as a house behind the wicket. |
| 3.1: Khaleel Ahmed to Sam Curran, FOUR! BOOM! Good start to the over. Shortish length and just around off, Curran slaps it to the left of the bowler powerfully and finds the fence. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Sam Curran, FOUR! Two-in-two now! Poor from Khaleel. A shortish ball on middle, it sits up nicely for Curran. He goes back and powers it over mid on for another boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Khaleel Ahmed to Sam Curran, SIX! A biggie now! Khaleel continues to bowl short. This is around off and middle, Curran waits for it and then pumps it over the long on fence. 14 from the first 3 balls. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Khaleel Ahmed to Sam Curran, SIX! BOOM! Four to begin the over and six to end! Exactly what Chennai needed after a slow start. Khaleel returned back to bowling the shortish length. This one is outside off too. Curran launches it over the bowler's head for a biggie. This is a huge over for Chennai as they collect 22 runs off it. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Sandeep Sharma to Sam Curran, OUT! TIMBER! Sandeep strikes again! A beauty from Sandeep. Curran's party has been cut short. A length ball, this one is angled in to the left-hander. Curran looks to defend but plays it along the wrong line and misses. The ball though goes behind and the stumps behind is disturbed. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Sandeep Sharma to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! Rayudu doesn't want to waste any time! Full and outside off, he drills it over mid off and opens his account with a boundary. End of another successful over from Sandeep. 3-0-10-2 so far from him, excellent figures. |
| 5.6: Shahbaz Nadeem to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! The last ball spoils a perfect over from Nadeem. He tosses it up and outside off, Rayudu jumps outside his crease and lifts it over extra cover. A boundary to end the Powerplay. 44/2 in the first 6 for Chennai. |
| 6.4 : 6.4: T Natarajan to Shane Watson, SIX! Easy peasy! You just don't give one in the slots for Watson. The cherry on the cake is the fact that it is on the pads. He whacks it over deep square leg and clears the fence. 50 up for Chennai. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Shahbaz Nadeem to Shane Watson, FOUR! This was played really well by Watson! Short ball around off, Watson cuts this one wide of the deep point region to bag a boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Shahbaz Nadeem to Ambati Rayudu, SIX! Rayudu has got his dancing shoes on tonight and he is putting them to show! Loopy on middle, Rayudu dances down the track and smacks it over the bowler's head for a biggie. A good end to this over for Chennai. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Rashid Khan to Shane Watson, SIX! Take that! Watson connects it well this time around. Rashid tosses this full and around off, it is in the slot of Watson. He smokes it over long on for a huge six. |
| 13.4 : 13.4: T Natarajan to Ambati Rayudu, FOUR! Easy pickings for Rayudu! You can't bowl such deliveries and not be smashed! This is a full toss way outside off, Rayudu hammers this one over the point region for a boundary. 100 up for Chennai. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Rashid Khan to Shane Watson, SIX! That is a massive six! That looked effortless from Watson! Loopy on middle, Watson hammers this one towards the long off region for a biggie. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Rashid Khan to Ambati Rayudu, SIX! This is another huge six! Chennai are turning it on now! Loopy around off, Rayudu gets on his knees and slog sweeps this one over the fence at deep mid-wicket. |
| 15.2 : 15.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! CAUGHT! Rayudu holes out! Khaleel has struck and the change has worked out for Warner! Rayudu can be dangerous towards the end and Khaleel has done well to get rid of him. Ahmed bowls a full toss around off, Rayudu looks to go big but does not time this one well and it does not have the required distance as he holed out to David Warner who is stationed at long off and he takes a good catch. |
| 16.2: T Natarajan to Shane Watson, OUT! CAUGHT! Another full toss bowled, another wicket for Hyderabad! Shane Watson has looked good so far but then he gives his wicket away here! Things might be a little difficult for Chennai as now they have two new batters out in the middle. Bowls a full toss outside off, Watson looks for the big shot over covers but does not time this well. It is Manish Pandey in the deep, who is not going to drop these chances. Another good breakthrough for Hyderabad! |
| 16.4 : 16.4: T Natarajan to MS Dhoni, FOUR! Another full toss but Dhoni punishes this time around! Can we see some more from Captain Cool? Dishes a full toss around middle, Dhoni does well to swivel and pull this one towards the deep square leg region. Rashid runs to his left but fails to stop the ball. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: T Natarajan to MS Dhoni, FOUR! POWER! This one was smashed! What a shot! Natarajan goes to bowl another full toss outside off, Dhoni hammers this one wide of the man at deep point and the power is immense and it will cross the fence for a boundary. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Sandeep Sharma to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Finds the gap nicely! A bit short and just outside off, Jadeja waits for the ball and then forces it through the gap between point and short third man. The point fielder dives to his right but fails to stop it. |
| 18.1 : 18.1: T Natarajan to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Smart batting! Jadeja knows that there is no one square of the wicket on the off side. And to his good luck, Natarajan bowls it short and outside off, he waits and then runs it between short third man and point to find the fence. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: T Natarajan to MS Dhoni, SIX! HUGE! That's that Dhoni we know! We have seen these so many times! Vintage MS! Natarajan misses his yorker by just but it is good enough for MS. He gets under it and pumps it over long on for a massive six. 102 meters! |
| 18.6 : 18.6: T Natarajan to MS Dhoni, OUT! CAUGHT! Dhoni departs next ball. A low full toss, just outside off, Dhoni looks to launch it again but this time the ball hits the toe end of the bat and goes to Williamson at extra cover. Natarajan ends his spell with a wicket. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Khaleel Ahmed to Dwayne Bravo, OUT! Cleaned him up! Golden duck for Bravo! Excellent delivery from Khaleel to begin the last over. It is the slower one that has done the trick here. A good length ball around off, the slower one. Bravo looks to slog it on the leg side but he is deceived big time. The ball goes behind and the zing bails light up. Perfect start of the last over for Hyderabad. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Khaleel Ahmed to Ravindra Jadeja, SIX! Jadeja with a body blow! That wasn't too far from the fielder though. A full toss on middle, Jadeja pumps it towards deep mid-wicket and manages to clear the fielder by just. Important six. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Khaleel Ahmed to Ravindra Jadeja, FOUR! Drilled down the ground! Full and outside off, Jadeja drills it through mid off. The long off fielder runs to his left and dives but fails to stop the ball. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Sam Curran to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Sweet timing! Length ball outside off, Bairstow slaps it through the covers and it races away to the fence. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Deepak Chahar to Jonny Bairstow, FOUR! Bairstow on the charge now! A length ball just outside off, Bairstow takes a step and flicks it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Sam Curran to David Warner, OUT! CAUGHT & BOWLED! Curran gets his man. Chennai get the breakthrough. A length ball around off, Warner looks to slog it on the leg side but gets an inside edge. The ball hits his pad and then lobs towards the leg side. Curran quickly gets around and pouches it. Warner falls cheaply! |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Sam Curran to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Crunched! Pandey is off the mark in style! A little bit of width and that is enough for Manish. He throws his bat and crunches it through the covers for a boundary. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Sam Curran to Manish Pandey, OUT! RUN OUT! Second wicket in the over. Bravo with the direct hit. Hyderbad's two in-form batters have been sent packing inside the Powerplay. That was a risky run! Good length ball around off, Pandey pushes it towards covers and calls for a run. Bairstow responds. But Bravo responds too as he gets to the ball quickly and scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end. The third umpire has been called for but Pandey knows that he is short. The third umpire confir |

| 5.5 : 5.5: Sam Curran to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Up and over! Short and outside off, Williamson lets the ball to come close and then guides it over short third man for a boundary. |
| 9.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Jonny Bairstow, OUT! TIMBER! Jadeja sends Bairstow back to the pavilion. Massive, massive wicket. It is once again shortish and around off and middle, Bairstow this time tried to work it on the leg side but missed the line of the ball. The ball though didn't end it's mark and disturbed the woodwork behind. |
| 11.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Quality shot! This is the area where he likes to hit! Short ball outside off, Williamson lofts this one over the fielder jumping at covers to fetch a boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Another shot oozing with class! Makes some room and slams this one over the covers for another boundary. Dhoni could be heard saying no in the background talking about where the ball was bowled. |
| 13.3 : 13.3: Dwayne Bravo to Priyam Garg, FOUR! Lovely stroke! He has timed this one well! On a good length outside off, Garg cuts this one well and it will go past the fence at backward point. Hyderabad need a lot more of where this came from. |
| 13.5 : 13.5: Dwayne Bravo to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Another boundary for Hyderabad! This is just past the diving Dhoni! Back of a length ball around middle and leg, Williamson tucks this one past Dhoni and it will race away to the fence at fine leg. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Karn Sharma to Priyam Garg, OUT! CAUGHT! Another breakthough for Chennai and it is the combination of Karn and Jadeja which struck! There is no way that Jadeja drops these sort of chances in the deep and he does not disappoint on this occasion as well. Loopy ball around off, Garg gets on his knees and slog sweeps this one towards the deep mid-wicket region. The youngster does not time this one to perfection as it can only go down the throat of Jadeja in the deep who makes no mistake. 69 re |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Dwayne Bravo to Vijay Shankar, SIX! That is huge! Will this be the over where Hyderabad turn it on? Full ball on off, Shankar slogs this one over the long on fence for a biggie. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Dwayne Bravo to Vijay Shankar, OUT! CAUGHT! Bravo has the last laugh. Dangerous Shankar departs. Bravo with the success. A perfectly plan dismissal this one from Chennai. With the asking rate getting big, Shankar can't think of leaving it alone. He goes after it by reaching out. He though ends up slicing it towards third man. Jadeja runs forward and takes it nicely. |
| 16.5 : 16.5: Dwayne Bravo to Kane Williamson, FOUR! Fifty in style for Williamson. The job is not done yet though. A gentle full toss from Bravo, Kane manages to power it over mid-wicket and find the gap in the deep. No chance for the fielders to get around. |
| 17.1 : 17.1: Karn Sharma to Kane Williamson, FOUR! One bounce four! Perfect placement! Shortish and on middle, Williamson goes back and pulls it over mid-wicket and finds the fence. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Karn Sharma to Kane Williamson, OUT! CAUGHT! Williamson has to go! Is this the match for Chennai? Tossed up ball on middle, Williamson goes for the slog sweep but he doesn't time it as well as he would've liked. It goes as far as Thakur at long on. |

| 18.6: Shardul Thakur to Rashid Khan, OUT! HIT WICKET! A low full toss, Rashid tries to use his wrists and flick it over the fence but mistimes it. It goes straight to Chahar at long on. He takes the catch. However, this will not matter as he is out hit wicket! When did that happen? Ok... replays show that while trying to go deep in his crease and execute the shot, Khan trod onto his stumps! 22 needed from the final over now. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Dwayne Bravo to Shahbaz Nadeem, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Another one bites the dust. A good length ball around off and middle, Nadeem looks to slog but ends up getting a top edge. The ball balloons high in the air. Bravo calls for the catch and settles under it and takes it easily. |
