Needed was just one wicket. Then Shakib Al Hasan, the first left-handed bowler in the Twenty20, was the 'triple century' of the wicket. Although Chennai Super Kings did not allow them to happen, Shakib bowled (4-0-3-0-0) did not do badly. Bad batting, standing on the debris, burning the lamp of hope, it has taken a blow by itself! His team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, chased 182 to beat Chennai by 4 runs to Chennai Super Kings.
The 183-run target in T-20s is not easy anymore. If someone like Pikhar Dhawan is absent in the team, then the job is even more difficult. Sunrise's top order made this difficult task almost impossible to take part in the upcoming rally. After that Williamson-Shakib's 49-run partnership of 49 runs a bit of hope but did not work. Even the Sunrisers win the Williamson-Pathan storm, but it goes to Chennai. Chennai's chances of winning the 4 runs win over Williamson stalled 178 for 6.
Three wickets in the first 5 overs, runs scored only 22! Shakib was batting on the debris created by sunrise top-order. The beginning was great. In the sixth over, Shane Watson hit his second boundary with the score of Ryan's knock. Six overs beat the fine leg of the over And in the eighth over, Deepak Chahar jumped over the backward point and gave him four balls to explain his day today.
But the opportunity itself was wasted. The team returned to the 11th over in danger. Karan Sharma's 'Googly' was forced to swipe and caught short fine. Shakib (24), when Sunrisers saw the loss of 4 wickets for 7 runs
Williamson and Yusuf Pathan, who tried to overturn Pasha's contributions in the 45th over, added 79 runs for 45 runs. Williamson, who smashed three sixes in the 15th over for 36 runs in 36 overs, Yusuf Pathan hit two sixes in the next over. Sunrisers need 42 runs in the last three overs for the win. Williamson's return to the final of the 18th over (84) returned Dwayne Bravo 51 runs in 5 fours and 5 chakkaya captaincy in the innings played this kiwi.
Sunrisers were sent for 33 runs by 12 runs in the 19th over to Pathan (45) returning Surdul Thakur. In the last over, 19 runs were needed for Shakib. Riddiman Saha-Rashid Khan has won the win! The last six runs were needed by Sunrisers. Rashid did not get to be satisfied with 1 run.
