Sunrisers won the toss and elected to bat first.
SRH openers out in the middle. CSK fielders in position and we are all set to begin.
CSK XI: DR Smith, B McCullum, S Raina, F du Plessis, MS Dhoni, R Jadeja, M Manhas, R Ashwin, B Hilfenhaus, I Pandey, M Sharma
SRH XI: A Finch, S Dhawan, D Warner, L Rahul, V Rao, D Sammy, K Sharma, I Sharma, D Steyn, A Mishra, B Kumar
After 2 overs, SRH have made their way to 15-0. Dhawan and Finch are getting set. The pitch isn't quick and strokeplay as we saw in the first game, will not be easy.
WICKETS! Hilfenhaus sends Dhawan and then traps Warner lbw next ball. SRH 15-2. Replays showed that the ball pitched outside the leg-stump. Warner unlucky.
After 4 overs, SRH have moved on to 27-2. The two wickets have hit them but Finch is in the middle and looking good.
After 7 overs, SRH 47-2. At the current rate, they will get 135. Will that be enough.
Wicket! Rahul c Pandey b Smith 25 (27b, 1x4, 1x6): Good connection, but still not enough to clear the boundary. Rahul departs too...
Venu and Finch have hardly caused any damage since Rahul's wicket. SRH a bowler heavy team, but batting quite poor throughout tournament.
14 overs gone and SRH are 93-2. Finch manages to carve out a boundary in the previous over but on comes Mohit Sharma now.
OUT! Venugopal Rao c Smith b Sharma 13 (15b, 0x4, 0x6): Brilliant brilliant bowling from Mohit. He annoys both batsmen with impeccable line and length -- Venugopal loses patience, goes for a big shot and is taken at mid-off.
100s up for SRH, that one took 15.2 overs!
Four!! Sammy's eyes light up as he sees a low fulltoss and swats it over the bowler...
17 overs gone and it's 108-4. It's a poor score but Sammy and Finch are around -- the latter 6 runs shy of a fifty.
Bowled him! Mohit's slower delivery has done it again! Finch completely confounded - stumps are knocked off.
How good are CSK in bowling these last few overs. Five overs and wicket in that previous over.
Oh shot!! Whipped off his thighs -- Sammy has hit it fine and for four!
SIXX!! Karn Sharma hooks it away and that is humongous!
Dropped! High high high from Karn Sharma and Smith has let it go...
1-1-6-1-1-2: That's the last over and SRH finish with 145 on the board.
CSK have made a fine start - just five overs gone and they've got to 36 runs - Smith and McCullum have become incredible opening partners.
Almost in tandem! Two fours from Smith and McCullum -- one over mid-wicket and one through the covers and CSK need less than 100 runs to win this one
Good over from Mishra -- just six off it. Some pressure needs to be put on this lineup if SRH have any hope of winning.
SIX! Smith wants to end this quickly. Stands and smacks one over the fence!
And another one! Six more as Smith clears square-leg with sublime ease. Ishant Sharma is not liking this.
Four! Now McCullum has a right go -- same square-leg area, different bowler -- Amit Mishra.
10 overs gone - midway to their run-chase, CSK are 75-0.
Bowled! McCullum b KV Sharma 40 (33b, 3x4, 2x6): That was quick, turned and completely bamboozled McCullum. CSK 85-1
Fifty Smith brings up his with a single. That one's off 37 balls. #CSK cruising on 94-1 in 12 overs.
SIX! He's not stopping at 50 is he? Massive hit over mid-wicket now...
And Raina gets in on the act! That was a classy SIX over long-on. Any way CSK are gonna lose this one? 110-1 now.
Wicket! Raina c Venugopal Rao b I Sharma 14 (10b, 1x4, 1x6) Got a bit too impatient, hits it straight to the fielder. Unneeded, that.
SIX! Smith's onslaught continues - this one's a powerful slog-sweep over the on side.
Oh by the way, Dhoni is here to bat...
Wicket! Smith c Warner b Kumar 66 (46b, 4x4, 5x6) Fine innings comes to an end as Warner takes a running catch at long-off. That's the only misjudged shot Smith's hit today.
Wicket! du Plessis c Rahul b Kumar 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6) Mini collapse! Edged and taken by the keeper. CSK 127-4.
Two wickets in that over have made CSK slightly nervous...
Dale Steyn comes in and bowls a fantastic over costing just 4 runs.
Wicket! Jadeja b I Sharma 6 (9b, 0x4, 0x6): Wow quite a flurry of wickets. Now Jadeja's bowled!
No boundaries scored in the last four overs...
6 off 6 CSK need -- they didn't see this one coming did they?
Four! Dhoni seals the win with a four through square-leg. CSK beat SRH win by 5 wickets.
