Chennai, April 23
Shane Watson brought back memories of last year’s IPL final with a blazing knock that has now almost ensured a playoff berth for Chennai Super Kings as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets.
On a vastly improved Chepauk track, Watson roared back to form with 96 off 53 balls as CSK stuttered a bit in the end before winning in 19.5 overs. CSK have reached the minimum cut-off of 16 points needed for the playoffs even though they would like to finish in the top-two. Watson’s innings would also be a relief for skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had urged the top-order to finish matches. Earlier, Manish Pandey hit an unbeaten 83 off 49 balls to power Hyderabad to 175/3 after being put in to bat. — PTI
