MUMBAI: Given their ordinary track record against Chennai Super Kings , Sunrisers Hyderabad needed to pull off something really special in IPL 2018’s Qualifier 1 at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday evening. The stakes were high as the winner of the contest was going to make it to the final of the tournament to be played at the same venue on Sunday.To complicate matters, Kane Williamson lost the toss and his men managed to put up a modest 139/7, thanks largely to a rearguard action by West Indian Carlos Brathwaite (43, 29b, 1x4, 4x6). At this stage, SRH looked like heading into Qualifier 2, scheduled to take place in Kolkata on Friday, where they would meet the winner of the Eliminator.Nevertheless, the 2016 champions took heart from the fact that they have defended some small totals this season. And when they reduced CSK to 39-4 in the eighth over, with opener Shane Watson (0), Suresh Raina (22 runs), the in-form Ambati Rayudu (0), and skipper MS Dhoni (9 runs) back in the dugout, the prospect of another memorable win looked bright.They had things well and truly in control when CSK were struggling at 113-8 with only 13 balls remaining. Nevertheless, CSK had the redoubtable South African Faf du Plessis still battling on and in the end it was the experienced batsman (67, 42b, 5x4, 6x4) who guided his team to a two-wicket win with a six off the first ball of the 20th over. It was undoubtedly one of his best IPL knocks.Rashid Khan was once again the standout bowler for SRH with figures of 4-0-11-2. He took the crucial wickets of Dhoni and Dwayne Bravo.Earlier, SRH got off to the worst possible start, losing in-form opener Shikhar Dhawan off the first ball of the match, bowled by pacer Deepak Chahar. Dhawan attempted a square-cut off a short-pitched delivery that swung in slightly, and he ended up chopping it onto the stumps.Williamson, who has enjoyed a terrific tournament amassing more than 600 runs, tried to repair the innings in the company of the other opener Goswami and the duo put on 34 runs before Goswami fell to fast bowler Lungi Ngidi. SRH found themselves in deep trouble when Williamson (24) was dismissed by local boy Shardul Thakur.</s>Chennai Super Kings (du Plessis 67*, Raina 22, Rashid 2-11) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (Brathwaite 43*, Bravo 2-25) by two wickets

play 4:03 Swann: Williamson could've saved Rashid for the death Ajit Agarkar and Graeme Swann break down what Sunrisers Hyderabad could've done to keep Chennai Super Kings' challenge at bay

Faf du Plessis, playing only his fifth match of the season, repaid his captain's faith by playing an innings MS Dhoni himself will be proud of. Chasing 140 to make their seventh final in nine attempts, Chennai Super Kings were reduced to 62 for 6 by the excellent Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling, but du Plessis took the game deep, induced a few errors from the opposition captain, and capitalised on small mistakes here and there. Carlos Brathwaite bowled the 18th over, with 43 to get, ahead of Sandeep Sharma and Shakib Al Hasan. Du Plessis hit that over for four, six and four to give an excellent match its final momentum shift.

If Sunrisers bowlers were brilliant in the defence, Super Kings had bowled to a plan - that to not give away many drives at the unforgiving Wankhede Stadium - to keep Sunrisers down to 139. Incidentally, it was Brathwaite whose hitting in the final few overs - 43 off 29 - gave Sunrisers something to bowl at.

Short, short, short After Shikhar Dhawan played on the first ball of the match, Kane Williamson drove the fourth ball beautifully through cover for four. Deepak Chahar then made two errors by straying down the leg side, but that was the end of the mistakes. Super Kings immediately shifted to a no-drive policy, bowling short or short of a length. Williamson gloved a pull - his fourth dismissal to short or short-of-a-length deliveries this season, Shreevats Goswami offered Lungi Ngidi a return catch, and Shakib Al Hasan too fell to a catch down the leg side. In the seventh over, Sunrisers were 50 for 4. Super Kings' fast bowlers bowled 48 deliveries in the first nine overs, and 20 of them were short or short of a good length, for just 19 runs and four wickets.

Pandey and Yusuf struggle again When Sunrisers needed a run-a-ball partnership, they had Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan in a rut. Pandey's horrible season became worse with a return catch for Ravindra Jadeja for 8 off 16 balls. Yusuf Pathan was peppered with short balls, never mind a wide here or there. The fast bowlers bowled 12 short or short-of-a-good length deliveries to him for just 11 runs. When he fell, at the end of the 15th over, Sunrisers were 88 for 6.

Brathwaite reprises some of his big hitting Before this game, Dwayne Bravo had gone for 11.92 in the last five overs this season, making him not a great choice at death even though he does largely a thankless job. With Lungi Ngidi providing him an option, Dhoni has now started using Bravo more in a role that gives him some leeway. Beginning just after the Powerplay, this was the earliest Bravo has bowled this season. He thanked his captain with figures of 2 for 25 by the end of the 17th over, but now Dhoni had to bowl others. Brathwaite took a shine to Shardul Thakur, hitting the first six of the whole innings in the 18th, following it immediately with another, and taking 37 off his 18th and 20th overs.

Bhuvi, Kaul and Rashid - a triple threat Bhuvneshwar Kumar went one better than Deepak Chahar when he played around with Shane Watson before getting him for a duck in the first over. Siddarth Kaul bowled beautifully to bowl Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu in successive deliveries in the fourth over, making it 24 for 3. This brought out Dhoni - only the third time in the IPL history that he was batting inside the fourth over - and typical Dhoni strategy. Dhoni didn't want to lose wickets, Dhoni wanted to take it deep, he took nine balls to get off the mark, he told du Plessis they will play Rashid out when he was finally introduced in the ninth over. Rashid, though, proved too good as he snuck a wrong'un past a forward defensive to comprehensively bowl Dhoni out. At 39 for 4 in the eighth, it seemed all over.

Stayin' alive - du Plessis style Du Plessis faced just six balls in the Powerplay. He looked inconspicuous during the collapse. Even as Bravo and Jadeja and Chahar fell to make it 92 for 7 after 15 overs, du Plessis kept knocking it around. In between, he hit Shakib for a four and a six in the 14th over to stay in touch with the game. Later in the night, this might have had a bigger impact on the game than just those 10 runs.

The end game With one and four runs coming off the 16th and 17th overs, Sunrisers had every reason to feel good about their chances. Super Kings had three wickets in hand, and 43 to get in the last three overs. Williamson had one over each from Kaul and Bhuvneshwar. Someone had to bowl that one over. That Shakib's last two balls went for 10 runs might have tipped the scales in Brathwaite's favour, but du Plessis clinically took him apart.

Williamson might have erred again when he bowled Kaul in the 19th, risking not bowling Bhuvneshwar out, but there was more fortune going Super Kings' way here. Thakur edged the first two balls of the 19th over for boundaries, making it 15 off 10. This was not the first piece of luck they had enjoyed on the night. A full toss over Shakib's head earlier was called a dead ball, and another wide not called when Brathwaite was hitting Thakur.

Now, though, Super Kings needed just a clinical finish, which du Plessis provided, with a dash of spectacular by sealing it with a six.</s>Mumbai, May 22 (IANS) An under-pressure innings from Faf du Plesis (67 not out) helped Chennai Super Kings edged past Sunrisers Hyderabad by two wickets in the first qualifier to enter the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) match here on Tuesday.

Needing 140 runs to win, Chennai chased down the target with five balls to spare.

Du Plesis kept on playing sensibly throughout when no other batman clicked and went back cheaply. He played 42 balls and slammed five boundaries and four sixes.

Hyderabad will now face the winner of the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 on May 25 at Kolkata.

Brief scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad: 139/7 in 20 overs (Carlos Brathwaite 43 not out; Dwayne Bravo 2/25) against Chennai Super Kings: 140/8 in 19.1 overs (Du Plesis 67; Rashid Khan 2/12)</s>MUMBAI: An intriguing and no-holds-barred battle between two former champions is on the cards when table toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad clash with second-placed Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League Qualifier 1 here tomorrow.

A slight net run-rate difference separated the two teams which finished the league stage on 18 points.

The riveting contest at the Wankhede Stadium will spell out who goes directly to the May 27 final, also scheduled at this venue, with the winner guaranteed a spot in the summit clash and the loser left to play Qualifier 2 in Kolkata on May 25.

The raucous Mumbai fans, thus, could expect a rip-roaring contest.

Super Kings seem to hold a slight edge going into the match as they have not only got the better of their southern rivals twice in the league stage of the competition but also have the winning momentum going into the match on what promises to be a bouncy track.

While Super Kings stopped the aspirations of Kings XI Punjab by overcoming a difficult start last night in their adopted home base of Pune, Sunrisers have been on a three-game losing run, having sealed their play-off spot with a victory on May 10 against Delhi Daredevils.

They had somehow not been able to muster up the intensity shown in the better of their league stage campaign and to some extent their highly-rated bowling attack also looked off-coloured in the previous three games.

It was the Super Kings who halted Sunrisers' six-game winning streak with a comprehensive eight-wicket drubbing on May 13 in Pune.

Sunrisers have depended totally on their captain Kane Williamson, who has been in terrific form to rise to the number two slot in the leading run-getters' list with 661 runs at just over 60 per game.

Only he and Shikhar Dhawan (437 runs), who took some time to get going, have shown consistency with the bat in contrast to their bowling attack which, barring the last few games, has been the talking point of the season.

Sunrisers will need their middle order, especially Manish Pandey, to take up more responsibility to counter the Super Kings' thrust.

In bowling they have depended mostly on seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sidharth Kaul and Sandeep Sharma as well as on overseas spinners Rashid Khan and Shakib Al Hasan.

The bowling attack needs to come up with an effective plan to stifle Ambati Rayudu at the top of the order who took the game away with a scintillating hundred when the two teams last met.

Rayudu made 79 not out in their first leg contest too.

The plus point for Super Kings, who have alternately blown hot and cold in their last six games, is that they have not depended on just a couple of batsmen although Rayudu has been their standout performer with 586 runs.

Shane Watson (438 runs from 13 matches) too has been in top form along with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

The form of key batsman Suresh Raina, who anchored the innings splendidly against Kings XI yesterday with an unbeaten 61, is another encouraging sign.

The outstanding spell of fast bowling by young South African Lungi Ngidi, who grabbed 4 for 10 to take the man of the match award last night, could not have come at a more opportune time for the Super Kings.

With Shardul Thakur, Deepak Chahar and Dwayne Bravo doing their bit on the pace bowling front, Super Kings will be banking on spin twins Harbhajan Singh and Ravindra Jadeja to deliver in the middle overs.

The match timings have been advanced by one hour for the play-offs.

A women's exhibition game will take place at 2 PM IST before the evening clash with top Indian and foreign players taking part in the experiment.</s>SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face off in a power-packed Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 Playoff Qualifier 1 , with the winners assured of a berth in the final, scheduled for May 27. While the losers will get another chance to enter the final as they will get to Qualifier 2, both the Kane Williamson-led SunRisers Hyderabad and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings would be keen to reserve a spot in the final and then get some crucial days of rest.

Faf du Plessis, who had made minimal contribution to his team going into the first qualifier, pulled off an unlikely escape, scoring his first half-century this season to guide his team past SunRisers Hyderabad.

Chasing a target of 140, the two-time champions looked done at 92 for seven after 15 overs. But on a rare bowlers’ day out, Du Plessis did the star turn. He hit 67 off 42, and finished with a six to take Chennai to a two-wicket win with five balls to spare. Making a return after a two-year ban, Chennai’s 37-run blitz in two overs (18 & 19) saw them complete their comeback in style.

The Wankhede Stadium, usually drenched in blue, was specked with colours of yellow and orange. And the late drama made up for the lack of big hits from both teams. While the pitch rewarded good bowling, it didn’t quite spitfire — as the tumble of wickets might suggest.

Top-heavy Hyderabad got off to the worst possible start when Shikhar Dhawan chopped the very first delivery, by Deepak Chahar, back onto the stumps. Dhawan and captain Kane Williamson had scored almost 50 per cent of team’s runs through the 14 league matches. And the over-reliance showed.

Williamson, a traditionalist, had looked T20 savvy during his brisk knock of 24 off 15. But he failed to put away a ball sliding down leg, edging it to wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Hyderabad’s middle-order had been unable to deliver this season, and they lacked the spine to stand up to a disciplined attack.

The stats, for a T20 match were stunning.

Hyderabad went through a spell of 44 balls, where they couldn’t score a boundary for more than seven overs. Chennai bowled a total of 54 dot balls and Hyderabad’s first six came in the 18th over.

While Chahar and Lungi Ngidi’s pace was too much early on, R Jadeja’s crafty spell had the batsmen completely at sea. The left-arm spinner teased them into submission, giving away only 13 runs in four overs.

Carlos Brathwaite added some bulk to the total towards the end. He hit successive sixes in the 18th over. In the last over, he hit two more and a four to give his team something to bowl at.

And his team almost made a feast of it. Shane Watson was dismissed in the first over by the Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Siddarth Kaul then sent back Ambati Rayudu and Suresh Raina. But it was leg-spinner Rashid Khan who produced the magic. He had Dhoni with a wrong ’un and finished with two for 11 off four overs.

Chennai were falling like nine pins, until Du Plessis took matters in his own hands in the 18th over, returning Brathwaite the favour by taking 20 runs off him.

Thakur, fortunately, got two thick edges, outside and inside, to hit two fours off the first two balls of the 19th over. In a matter of eight balls, the match had slipped away from Hyderabad.

Brief scores: SunRisers Hyderabad 139/7 in 20 ovs (Brathwaite 43 n.o; Bravo 2/25) lost to Chennai Super Kings 140/8 in 19.1 ovs (Du Plessis 67 n.o; Rashid 2/11).</s>With the race for the IPL 2018 Playoffs having been decided on the very last day of the league engagements, SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) would both be keen to seal off a berth in the Season11 final when they meet in IPL Qualifier 1 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.

While Chennai stopped the aspirations of Kings XI Punjab by overcoming a difficult start last night in their adopted home base of Pune, SRH have been on a three-game losing run, having sealed their playoff spot with a victory on May 10 against Delhi Daredevils.</s>The top two teams in the 2018 Indian Premier League T20 cricket tournament square off Tuesday with a place in the championship final match on the line.

The 2018 Indian Premier League T20 cricket tournament wrapped up its round-robin stage on Sunday, with 2016 titlists Sunrisers Hyderabad barely nipping two-time champs Chennai Super Kings by a slim net-run-rate margin to finish top of the table. Now, these two teams will clash in the first playoff match of the 2018 IPL, a game that will live stream, from Mumbai, India, on Tuesday with the winner advancing straight to next Sunday’s championship final match.

The loser of the qualifier match will face the winner of Wednesday’s first eliminator in the second and final elimination match on Friday. The first eliminator pits third-place Kolkata Knight Riders against Rajasthan Royals, who slipped into the playoff round with a win over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday — a win which also eliminated defending champs Mumbai Indians from contention this year.

To find out how to watch a live stream of the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs. Chennai Super Kings first 2018 IPL qualifier match, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 7 p.m. Indian Standard Time at 33,000-seat Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai, India, on Tuesday, May 22. In the United Kingdom, that start time will be 2:30 p.m. British Summer Time, while in the United States, the playoff match gets underway at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, 6:30 a.m. Pacific.

Though Sunrisers and the Super Kings were favored to take the top two spots in this year’s IPL by cricket experts from before the season got underway, and that prediction proved accurate, both teams enter the playoffs playing less than championship-level cricket. Led by New Zealand Captain Kane Williamson, the Hyderabad side comes into the qualifier match riding a three-game losing streak.

Indian cricket legend MS Dhoni has also seen his Super Kings team falter, failing to win two straight matches throughout the entire month of May. But CSK appears to have an edge in the qualifier match, having defeated Williamson’s Sunrisers twice in their two matches in the round-robin stage. Those defeats account for two of only five matches dropped by Sunrisers in the 2018 campaign.
