Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Chennai Super Kings by 10 runs – IPL 2026 Match Report
Sunrisers Hyderabad powered to a 10-run win over Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Saturday – with an Abhishek Sharma blitz in the first three overs doing the damage CSK could never fully recover from. SRH posted 194/9 batting first; CSK fell 10 short on 184/8.
SRH’s 194: Abhishek Goes Full Throttle
CSK won the toss and chose to field. It looked a reasonable call – Hyderabad can be a tricky venue to chase on, and controlling the game from the start seemed sensible. Abhishek Sharma made them pay for it immediately.
Abhishek smashed 59 off just 22 balls at a strike rate of 268 – six fours and four sixes – before falling caught off Jamie Overton in the 8th over. Travis Head added 23 off 20 at the top before being caught off Mukesh Choudhary, and the partnership between Abhishek and Head gave SRH the foundation everything else was built on.
Heinrich Klaasen then anchored the middle overs, grinding out 59 off 39 at SR 151 to ensure the momentum did not die when the openers were gone. Klaasen kept SRH above 9 runs per over through a period when CSK’s bowlers finally found some rhythm.
For CSK with the ball, Anshul Kamboj was the pick – 3/22 from 3 overs at an economy of 7.33. Jamie Overton chipped in with 3/37 from 4, and Mukesh Choudhary took 2/21 from 2. But Matthew Short went for 38 from 3 and Noor Ahmad conceded 33 from 4 without taking a wicket. The gap in CSK’s attack was exposed and SRH’s 194 reflected it.

CSK’s 184: Mhatre Fires, Malinga Finishes
CSK needed a flying start to chase 195. They got one – and still came up short.
Ayush Mhatre produced a cameo of genuine quality – 30 off 13 balls (5×4, 1×6) at a strike rate of 231. Sanju Samson chipped in with 7 off 3 at the top. But both were gone before the end of the 5th over, and CSK’s chase was suddenly fragile at 66 for 3 with captain Ruturaj Gaikwad also dismissed – caught off Eshan Malinga for 19.
Matthew Short tried to rebuild with 34 off 30, but could not rotate strike at the rate the chase demanded. Sarfaraz Khan added 25 off 19, Shivam Dube 21 off 16 and Jamie Overton 16 off 15, but none of the middle order could push the run rate high enough in the final five overs. Dewald Brevis fell for a golden duck. The lower order did not have enough to work with.
Eshan Malinga was outstanding – 3/29 from 4 overs at an economy of 7.25, removing Gaikwad, Short and Sarfaraz Khan to end any realistic hope of a CSK recovery. Nitish Kumar Reddy took 2/31, Shivang Kumar 1/18 and Sakib Hussain 1/32. Praful Hinge bowled 4 for 60 and was the one weak link, but it mattered little with the match already effectively settled.
Anshul Kamboj’s unbeaten 13 off 8 (SR 162.5, including one six) was a footnote of character from the CSK lower order. But they needed 16 more from the final over with wickets running out – and could not get there.
Statz MVP: Abhishek Sharma – 73.3/100
Abhishek Sharma tops the Statz Ratings with 73.3/100. Fifty-nine runs off 22 balls at the top of a T20 innings is not just scoring – it is match-defining. SRH set a target that CSK’s batting lineup was always going to struggle to chase, and that target was built in the first three overs by this one innings.
Top 5 Statz Ratings
- Abhishek Sharma (SRH) – 73.3 – 59 off 22, SR 268. The innings that won the game in the first powerplay.
- Eshan Malinga (SRH) – 61.7 – 3/29 from 4 overs, Econ 7.25. Removed Gaikwad, Short and Sarfaraz Khan at critical moments in the chase.
- Nitish Kumar Reddy (SRH) – 56.7 – 2/31 from 4 overs with the ball, plus 12 off 8 batting. Consistent across both departments.
- Anshul Kamboj (CSK) – 54.4 – 3/22 from 3 overs, best economy figures of the match for CSK. The standout performer in an attack that could not do enough to restrict SRH.
- Jamie Overton (CSK) – 53.3 – 3/37 from 4 overs with the ball, 16 off 15 batting. Two-way contribution that was not enough to get CSK over the line.
Turning Point
The fall of Ruturaj Gaikwad at 66 for 3 in the 5th over. At that point CSK needed 129 from 90 balls with 7 wickets in hand – tough but achievable with the captain at the crease. Once Malinga removed him, CSK lost their best chance of building a long middle-overs partnership. The collapse from 113 for 4 to 148 for 6 inside four overs sealed the game.
Match Context
The win keeps Sunrisers Hyderabad well placed in the IPL 2026 table. CSK will need their middle order to start converting starts – Mhatre and Samson both got going but neither stayed long enough to anchor the chase.
