CSK had opted to bowl first, as they were confident enough to chase down any total put up by the SRH batting unit.

However, Dhawan and Williamson strung together a brilliant partnership and helped SRH get a total in the range of 180 odd.

In-form openers, Ambati Rayudu and Shane Watson added 134 runs partnership and took the game away from the opponents. While stealing a run, Shane Watson was out for 57 runs.
However, Rayudu played till the end and scored his maiden T20 century. The fans witnessed MS Dhoni’s finishing at the end as well. CSK won the match by 8 wickets and 6 balls to spare.
