Chennai dismantle Hyderabad
Dhoni, played an exceptional game behind the stumps, and the spin trio of Ravindra Jadeja, Mahesh Theekshana, and Moeen Ali bowled exceptionally well to restrict the famed batting line-up of Sunrisers Hyderabad to a mere 134 runs.

The opening duo batted together for 11 overs, forming a solid 87-run partnership and keeping CSK on track for the chase. Although leg-spinner Mayank Markande's two wickets during the middle overs gave Sunrisers hope of making a comeback, their total score was not high enough to put significant pressure on CSK's incoming batsmen.
