IPL 2020: Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 7 runs

MS Dhoni (47*) and Ravindra Jadeja (50) fought a really tough battle in the scorching heat of Dubai but couldn’t take the game home. More heartbreaking is to know that Chennai Super Kings have lost three games in a row now. The Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated CSK by 7 runs. T Natarajan remained the highest wicket-taker (2/43) for SRH while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Abdul Samad returned with 1 wicket apiece. Earlier, Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma stitched a 77-run stand for the fifth wicket. Garg slammed his maiden IPL fifty off just 23 balls, helping his team post 164/5 in 20 overs. Deepak Chahar picked up 2 wickets for CSK.
