Highlights:
- 13th edition of Indian Premier League.
- Super Kings vs Sunrisers Battle.
- Winning the toss
The UAE, which is slowly leaning towards the bowlers, is now enjoying success with teams that bat first and collect big money. However, the only team to have successfully run chase 2 times is the CSK team. CSK has won both of its matches this time.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to bat first.
The tactical changed CSK
After winning the toss for the first time in the tournament, CSK chose to bat and changed its tactics. All-rounder Sam Curran was surprised by the opening. But another opener, Faf D’Place (0), brought a little setback for the team.
Curran, who was promoted to batting line-up just before the start of the game, gave the team a good start by scoring 31 runs off 21 balls with three fours and two sixes. However, Sandeep Sharma bowled a clean ball that failed to play defensively.
