#5 Poor death bowling

Ad

The Sunrisers bowling attack came out all guns blazing and completely dismantled the Chennai batting line up for the first 17 overs. With 43 runs needed from the last 3 overs and just 3 wickets in hand, the game was in the pocket for Hyderabad but somehow they let it slip away.

In a bizarre decision, the ball was thrown to Brathwaite in the 18th over instead of the reliable Sandeep Sharma. Du Plessis cashed on the opportunity with both hands, smashing 20 runs from the over.

The penultimate over was delivered by Siddarth Kaul who somehow managed to concede 3 boundaries to the No. 10 Shardul Thakur. The equation boiled down to 6 needed from the last over and Du Plessis finished off the things in style by smashing a straight six off the first ball.
