Sri Lankan bowler Eshan Malinga’s three wickets helped Sunrisers Hyderabad limit Chennai Super Kings to 184/8 in 20 overs, securing a 10-run victory in the IPL 2026 match. Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 194/9 earlier, with Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen scoring half-centuries.
Chasing the target, CSK had a strong start but lost wickets, including Sanju Samson early on. Despite Ayush Mhatre’s aggressive play, CSK faced setbacks with key dismissals. Malinga’s crucial wickets and tight bowling by SRH players restricted CSK’s chase.
CSK’s Sarfaraz Khan and Matthew Short steadied the innings, but wickets fell at crucial junctures. Malinga’s impressive performance, including removing key players, kept the pressure on CSK. Despite late efforts, CSK fell short in the final over.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s innings saw explosive hitting by Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, setting a strong foundation. Abhishek’s quick 59 off 22 balls and Klaasen’s fifty powered SRH to 194. CSK’s bowlers, including Overton and Kamboj, took crucial wickets but couldn’t stop SRH’s total.
