the field was up and Rao decides to go airborne, tossed up and he lofts him one bounce down to long-on and it's a win with two balls to spare
CSK vs SRH, 50th match at Ranchi, IPL, May 22 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary
SRH won by 6 wickets (with 2 balls remaining)
Presentation:
Sammy: "We have been rising to the challenge, looking to control what we can. Good thing we bowled first. Credit to Warner and Dhawan. After a few games you tend to look for ways to improve, and Warner has always been better up the order. We can just hope things go in our favour."
Warner is the Man of the Match: "(Didn't score a century) Importantly we won and credit to Shikhar for back to back fifties. I love batting at the top of the order and I also enjoyed batting in the middle order. I obviously like to hit as many over the boundary."
Dhoni: "We have to address it (defeats). We have lost a few games very easily. The easier thing would be to chase in each and every game. I went in and ate up quite a few deliveries but 185 was a decent score but under par. I think we needed 230, our new ball bowlers are not getting wickets with the new ball."
That's it from us here tonight. Two more games tomorrow, as the race for the last two playoff spots gets more competitive. Thanks for your company. Good night!
End of match: Quite a clinical chase in the end by SRH despite the chase going into the final over. They hardly broke into a sweat. A few needless wickets but importantly, Dhawan was there from the start. SRH must be wondering why they didn't hit this form earlier in the tournament. They live to fight another day.
CSK were flat on the field.
So Dhoni reckons they needed to score 230. That's the level of confidence he has in his bowlers. That's a worrying sign ahead of the playoffs.
they scamper through for a single as Dhawan digs it out to point, Hastings' throw was all over the place
SRH take another chase to the final over. The scorecard at the stadium has 184 and the TV showed 183. Confusion here. It has been corrected to 184 so two to win
Sammy has given it away here! This was dropped on a length and he was looking to muscle that over long-on and the fielder ran forward and took the catch
Appeal for a stumping! Dhawan was reaching out outside off to drive and he was beaten and he just about managed to drag his back foot back, the third umpire takes a look
Dhawan comes down the track and lofts it nicely over midwicket, picks the gap
he;s been given out run out! Finch moved back and cuts it hard towards cover, misfield by Raina, he set off and the throw was to the bowler who broke the stumps, the umpire didn't ask for the third umpire
he makes room and delicately dabs him to short third man
no sighters for Finch, he dances down the track and lofts him clean over deep midwicket
has it come too late for Sunrisers? Tossed up on the pads and he looks to clear deep square leg and Negi runs to his left and judges it well
softly clipped to the on side and Ojha wasn't actually ready
An understated fifty by Dhawan. SRH coasting this
punches this one down to long-on
this is a low full toss which he punches towards mid-off, Negi dives
it's been that kind of evening for Super Kings, Dhawan gives the charge, he gets an inside edge that sneaks past the stumps and bisects the gap between the keeper and short fine leg
a bit too straight and he swivels and clips it to the deep to bring up his fifty!
Rameez: "CSK losing 2- 3 matches is giving me a lot of headache...i wonder how Delhi fans are coping..." They must have gotten used to it last year
he comes down the track and looks to swish that away somewhere but ends up swishing at thin air
slower ball outside off and he punches it to Faf at point
Over 20 • SRH 189/4
