Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) suffered a heavy defeat against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk. CSK batted first and posted a huge total of 212/3 in 20 overs. In response, SRH could only muster 134 runs before being bowled out in the 19th over.
While many stadiums in this IPL serve as batting paradises, Chepauk stands out differently. CSK's home ground is one such venue where bowlers also find assistance.
In the match against SRH, CSK effectively contained SRH's dangerous batters, known for their ability to notch up big scores.

Despite the loss against CSK, SRH captain Pat Cummins remains confident in his team's batting strength.
"They batted well to get to 210 but we thought we were in with a chance with our batting lineup, the pitch was playing well too. We’re pretty happy with how the batting lineup is going. Everyone in that lineup has performed and won us a game at some point in the tournament. It’s definitely dewy now but it was the same in the first innings as well. We’ll bounce back quickly."
