 "IPL 2020, CSK vs SRH highlights: Chennai beats Hyderabad by 20 runs")
In Match 29 of Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020), a desperate Chennai Super Kings dished out an all-round performance to earn a much-needed win as it stays afloat in the race for the IPL Play-offs with a 20-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at Dubai International cricket stadium on Tuesday.
Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu shared a 81-run stand to power Chennai Super Kings to 167 for six after electing to bat.
CSK skipper MS Dhoni then used seven bowlers, who executed its plans to perfection, to restrict SRH to 147 for eight.
With 57 off 39 balls, Kane Williamson was the top scorer for Sunrisers. He hit seven fours to keep his side in hunt but the steep required run-rate made it tough for SRH after the fall of the Kiwi batsman.
For CSK, the win, its third of the tournament, comes after two back-to-back losses. Chennai now have six points and is placed sixth in the points table. While Sunrisers remain in the fifth spot. SRH defeated CSK in a nail-biter thriller.
