IPL 2018, SRH vs CSK: 5 reasons why Hyderabad lost

#3 Poor death bowling

There is no debate about the fact that Sunrisers have the best attack in the IPL. The yorkers and knuckleballs of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Siddarth Kaul are hard to get away in the last few overs.

Add to that the variations of Rashid Khan and the pace of Billy Stanlake and you have a champion bowling line up. However, all of them lost the plot today.

Hyderabad’s bowlers struggled with their lines and lengths at the end of Chennai’s innings and the likes of Raina, Rayadu, and Dhoni made them pay in a big way.

The last 7 overs of Chennai innings yielded a massive 95 runs. This late onslaught ensured that Chennai had a match-winning score instead of a competitive one.
