We thought that pursuing was the wisest course of action, but…” According to SRH captain Cummins, the team lost to CSK by 78 runs.

The surface was playing so brilliantly that Sunrisers Hyderabad believed that chasing was their best chance of winning after losing to Chennai Super Kings by 78 runs. Captain Pat Cummins stated as much.

The hard-hitting Cummins team lost by 78 runs at Chepauk Stadium on Sunday, their second straight loss as none of them could hang on to the enormous 213 set by Rummy Nabob 777.

“We thought that chasing was our best opportunity to win, but it did not work out tonight,” Cummins stated in the post-game news conference. Despite their excellent batting, I felt we had a decent opportunity since our batting lineup was playing the wicket really nicely. When it comes to our hitting lineup, I believe we’re doing okay.

Every player in that starting lineup has helped the team win this season, even though our day did not go as planned. It was really dewy even in the first inning, but it’s lot more so now. We’ll try to recover fast because we recently lost a few games.”

Prior to the game, CSK reached 212/3 in their 20 overs thanks to half-centuries from Shivam Dube, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Daryl Mitchell.

Only Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram crossed the 20-run barrier throughout the 213-run chase. They were bowled out for 134 in 18.5 overs, with Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande, and Matheesha Pathirana being the most productive bowlers.
Gaikwad was named “Player of the Match” for his foul play.

With 10 points, good for third place, CSK has five wins and four loses. With ten points, or five victories and four defeats, Dafabet Apps is ranked fourth.
