Jadeja and Conway lead CSK to an easy win against
Devon Conway continued his impressive form as he scored his third consecutive half-century to help Chennai Super Kings chase down the target of 135 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Ravindra Jadeja was the star for the Super Kings as he grabbed three wickets, along with Maheesh Theekshana, who gave away only 4 runs in his 4 overs. The Sunrisers had a good start to their innings, but the Super Kings’ spinners slowed down their momentum. The visitors’ spin trio of Dagar, Sundar, and Markande were economical, but they could not trouble the opposition batters.
The match changed after the time-out, with the pitch becoming slow and difficult for the batters. Jadeja got the breakthrough for the Super Kings by getting Abhishek Sharma caught at long-on. Rahul Tripathi was the next to go, as he top-edged a full ball outside off to short fine leg. Mayank Agarwal’s attempt to take on Jadeja resulted in his stumping, leading to a collapse from 71 for 1 to 95 for 5. This turned out to be the defining moment of the match.
Devon Conway started slow but found the boundary three times in his first ten deliveries, with a range of shots. He then took on Marco Jansen in the sixth over, scoring 4, 4, 6, 4, 4 in the over. He went on to score his fifty from 33 balls and remained unbeaten on 77, including 12 fours and a six. The Sunrisers’ changes to their batting line-up did not work, with Agarwal departing for his third single-digit score in six innings. The Sunrisers find themselves ninth on the points table, and something must click soon if they want to turn their fortunes around.
In conclusion, the Super Kings’ spinners were excellent in restricting the Sunrisers’ batting line-up, and Jadeja’s three wickets proved to be the difference between the two teams. Conway’s brilliance with the bat ensured that the Super Kings continued their good form and stay third on the points table. On the other hand, the Sunrisers’ batting struggles continue, and they need to find a way to get back to winning ways soon.
