Ravindra Jadeja's impressive 3\/22 followed by Devon Conway's fine unbeaten 77-run knock helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by seven wickets in an IPL 2023 match at MA Chidambaram Stadium, here on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
SRH were restricted to 134\/7 in 20 overs in front of CSK's brilliant bowling performances led by Jadeja.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In response, the openers gave a strong start to CSK. Despite a slump in the run rate in the middle overs, Conway's unbeaten 77 off 57 laced with 12 boundaries and a six helped the hosts to seal the win with eight balls remaining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chasing 135, the opening duo of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway gave CSK a superb start, scoring 27 runs in the first three overs. After a couple of tight overs, Conway took Marco Jansen to the cleaners as he hit four boundaries and a maximum in the sixth and CSK posted 60 for no loss in the Powerplay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
SRH put a bit of a break on the run-rate with their economical bowling, as 26 runs came in the next five overs. Meanwhile, Conway completed his third IPL fifty with a boundary in the 10th over and CSK were 86 for no loss halfway through the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sunrisers tried keeping a tight leash on CSK's innings, giving away just 25 runs and picking up two wickets in the next five overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
SRH got a much-needed breakthrough in the 11th over as Gaikwad got run out at the non-striker's end in an unfortunate way. Conway hit straight, and the ball deflected off Umran's fingers onto the stumps at the non-striker's end with Gaikwad not in the frame. Then, Mayank Markande got Ajinkya Rahane in the 15th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With 24 needed of 30, Markande picked up his second as he cleaned up Ambati Rayudu in the 17th over. Then Conway hit Umran Malik for a back-to-back boundary after two dots and as many as singles in the 18th over. Conway started the penultimate over with a single and a dot ball later Moeen Ali sealed the deal for CSK with a boundary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
