Sunrisers Hyderabad endured back-to-back defeats in IPL 2023, leading the total number of their losses to four, on Friday after Chennai Super Kings cruised past them. Abhishek Sharma’s 26-ball 34 was their only significant contributor among the batters as they could only muster a meager total. None of Rahul Tripathi, Harry Brook, Aiden Markram, and Mayank Agarwal could step up to take to a defendable total on a track where batters struggled to score runs at a good pace.

Coming to chase, Ruturaj Gaikwad (35 off 30 balls) and Devon Conway forged an impressive 87-run opening-wicket stand to keep CSK on the front foot. Despite receiving little support from Ajinkya Rahane (9 off 10 balls) and Ambati Rayudu (9 off 9 balls), Conway made sure to take his side past the finishing line with eight balls to spare. He had Moeen Ali (6* off 6 balls) in the company when the job was done in the penultimate over of the innings.

For SRH, only Mayank Markande enjoyed success, claiming 2/23 off his four overs, while the rest could not manage to take advantage of the slow and low Chepauk track.
