Their control in the post-Powerplay phase proved decisive as they choked CSK\u2019s chase at crucial moments.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wLCOS vdo_embedd\">\n<div class=\"ap_Bf\">\n<div class=\"ZM4zO\">\n<p><i class=\"bo2C4\"\/> <span>Watch<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <!-- -->Ajinkya Rahane press conference: On another defeat, Cameron Green and more<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Even though CSK needed only 84 from the last 10 overs, SRH\u2019s bowlers kept striking regularly. Malinga mixed yorkers, hard lengths and short balls smartly, while Shivang extracted useful turn and bounce to keep the batters under pressure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>CSK\u2019s chase had moments of promise but never fully took off. <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/player-profile\/sanju-samson\/61837\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Sanju Samson<\/a> began explosively with a first-ball six, but Nitish Reddy removed him quickly with a sharp spell of hard lengths. Ayush Mhatre (30 off 13) kept the momentum going early, but a hamstring injury slowed him down before a sharp catch by Heinrich Klaasen ended his stay.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Ruturaj Gaikwad (19 off 12) also fell after mistiming a heavy delivery from Malinga. At 66 for 3, CSK tried to rebuild through <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/sarfaraz-khan\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Sarfaraz Khan<\/a> (25 off 19) and Matthew Short (34 off 30), adding 46 runs, but the required rate kept climbing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Dewald Brevis fell for a duck trying to attack Shivang Kumar, and despite a 35-run stand between Short and <!-- -->Shivam Dube<!-- --> (21 off 16), the scoring rate never truly recovered.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Malinga, Sakib Hussain (1\/32) and Shivang ensured CSK\u2019s power-hitters were kept quiet through the middle and death overs. Praful Hinge also held his nerve at the end, conceding just seven runs in the final over despite earlier struggles.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Earlier, SRH posted 194 for 9 after a collapse despite <!-- -->Abhishek Sharma<!-- -->\u2019s explosive 59 off 22 balls. CSK\u2019s decision to bowl first initially looked costly as Abhishek tore into the attack with a 15-ball fifty, but Mukesh Choudhary struck back with key wickets of Travis Head (23) and <!-- -->Ishan Kishan<!-- --> (0) to turn the game.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>From 75 without loss, SRH slipped to 75 for 2 and later 112 for 4, losing momentum despite Klaasen\u2019s steady 59. He was the only batter to resist consistently, while the rest struggled to accelerate.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>CSK\u2019s bowling attack was led by Overton (3\/37) and Anshul Kamboj (3\/22), who were outstanding in the middle and death overs. Noor Ahmad also kept things tight, while Gurjapneet Singh\u2019s disciplined spell added pressure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>In the end, SRH\u2019s disciplined bowling effort made the difference as they held CSK down in the final overs to seal a hard-fought 10-run victory.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/ipl-2026-srh-bowlers-hold-their-nerve-choke-csk-in-final-overs-to-seal-10-run-thriller\/articleshow\/130360483.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad&#8217;s Eshan Malinga, center, celebrate with teammates (AP Photo\/Mahesh Kumar A.)
