SRH didn’t had their best of the times while they opted to bat first, as they lost Bairstow in the 3rd over of their innings. Skipper Warner and Manish Pandey struggled but held their ends firmly. Warner scored a slow, 57 off 55 balls while Manish Pandey scored 61 off 47 balls. Then in the last two overs, things took a strange turn. Kane Williamson smacked Sharduk Thakur for 20 runs in the 2nd last over and stood not out for 26 off 10 balls. Former CSK mate, Kedar Jadhav too joined the party in the last over and smacked Sam Curran, for a four and a mammoth six in last overs’ 5th and 6th ball respectively.
The class of Kane Williamson.
There is elegance in his assault. He has faced just 7 balls and already struck 4×4 and 1×6. https://t.co/dvbR7X1Kzc #VIVOIPL #CSKvSRH pic.twitter.com/VyBRtD2y3l

CSK had a balanced bowling on this match where Lungi Ngidi was the nick of the bowler as he dismissed 2 SRH batsman. Sam Curran got a wicket but Shardul Thakur again disappointed as he was thrashed for 20 runs in his last over and conceded 44 runs in his quota of 4.
OUT
Warner falls! Full and wide, he looks to go hard at this, but only succeeds in finding Jadeja moving in from deep cover. Ngidi gets his first wicket.https://t.co/dvbR7X1Kzc #VIVOIPL #CSKvSRH pic.twitter.com/y99zVH2OXo
