- Abdul Samad defended 20 runs off last over against Chennai Super Kings and bring a 7 run win for Sunrisers.
- This is the second win for Sunrisers Hyderabad of the IPL season 2020.
Sunrisers Hyderabad got the second win of IPL 2020 as the young Abdul Samad defended 28 runs off the last over in the 14th match of IPL 2020.
Sunrisers Hyderabad was forced to turn to either Abhishek Sharma or Abdul Samad to bowl the last six balls. The team had to take the risk as the lead pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar walked off the field picking up an injury in the starting 18th over.
David Warner, SRH Skipper, tossed the ball to Samad and youngster delivered in disastrous fashion spraying the balls to the leg side for five wides. He soon managed to bring back himself in correct position and managed to restrict CSK within the 7 runs of total.
However, we have seen in the chase that CSK has lost the momentum with Shane Watson chopping the stumps in just third over of his delivery. Ambati Rayudu has returned from injury and lasted for just nine deliveries giving his wicket to T Natarajan on the first ball of 5th over. In the 5th ball of the same over Faf Du Plessis caught short by a throw from Priyam Garg.
At No 5, MS Dhoni walked into bat at the halfstage when CSK needs 121 runs off the last ten overs. Ravindra Jadeja struggled initially, but in Natarajan’s 14th Over gave CSK some momentum in to the timeout.
Jadeja continued his fashion hitting four fours and a six in 10 balls before getting dismissed by Natarajan in the 18th over.
Although MSD was on the crease, and was visibly winded with the weather taking toll on him. It was quite difficult and a hectic task for the CSK Captain and the three-time IPL Champions fell short just by 7 runs.
SRH got the horrible start from the bat:
SRH skipper David Warner won the toss and opted to bat first but were pegged early by Deepak Chahar casting Bairstow in the first over.
The 46 run partnership between Manish Pandey and Warner seemed to be setting for late hits until the former was dismissed by Shardul Thakur with the first ball of 8th over.
The exciting part of the match was seen by Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma. They showed some shabby fielding from CSK side. They together put on a 77 run stand-off in just 49 deliveries before Southpaw fell to Chahar in the 18th Over.
