IPL 2024 SRH vs CSK Highlights: Sunrisers Hyderabad will be hoping that their big hitters can come to the party at home against a Chennai Super Kings side who have looked as strong as ever this season.
IPL 2024 SRH vs CSK Highlights: Sunrisers Hyderabad got back to winning ways in the 2024 IPL with a comfortable six-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings on Friday. Abhishek Sharma teed off with 37 off just 12 balls to set the ball rolling while Aiden Markram’s 50 off 36 balls and Travis Head’s 31 off 24 balls also proved to be useful in the final context of the game.
SRH kept a tab on CSK’s run rate in the first eight overs after captain Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl first. Bhuvneshwar Kumar sent back Rachin Ravindra early in the match, with the Kiwi falling for 12 off nine. Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad then fell to Shahbaz Ahmed in the eighth over on 26 off 21. Shivam Dube then came in and that led to a spike in CSK’s run rate.
Dube smashed 45 runs in just 24 balls and CSK were cruising at 119/2 in the 14th over. He, however, fell to Pat Cummins after which SRH clawed their way back by starving CSK for runs. SRH conceded just 38 runs in the last five overs and CSK were limited to a score of 165/5.

IPL Live Score 2024 SRH vs CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings: SRH join the 4-point bandwagon with that win. They are the fifth team at the moment to be on four points with CSK still leading that pack and sitting third due to their net run rate. Still early days and so it is not yet time for the IPL table to mean anything. But what we have seen so far in this IPL is that teams are going at it from ball one, and then fine to maybe slow down and consolidate in the middle overs. SRH took it to the extreme though, playing almost two different matches during and after the powerplay. In the end, they win with 11 balls which is a good victory and they will feel mighty good about the fact that they have been so dominant in both their games. CSK have the support wherever they go but what they also have now after two back to back defeats, is some food for thought.
