One side boundary is comparably shorter than the other. There is a bit of spin on offer from the surface but despite that, it's going to be a high-scoring game. Slower deliveries might work on this pitch. Few may come as the match progresses and batting second on this pitch should be an ideal situation.

This is the second successive failed run-chase for SRH in the IPL.

SRH - 134/10 (18.5)

(On would he have batted first in hindsight) Not really. We thought it was our best chance to win. They batted well to get to 210 but with the thought we were in with a chance with our batting lineup, the pitch was playing well too. We’re pretty happy with how the batting lineup is going. Everyone in that lineup has performed and won us a game at some point in the tournament. It’s definitely dewy now but it was the same in the first innings as well. We’ll bounce back quickly.

Feeling pretty good. Tough to play in such wet conditions, and to be able to win by 70-odd runs is a clinical performance. Was blessing in disguise at toss. Everything is good (injury concern?). Too hot and humid conditions. Even the last game, was there batting for 20 overs and fielding for 20 overs. Today also almost same. Wasn't thinking about hundred. Wanted to make sure we get to 220-odd. Was disappointed that I missed 4-5 hits at the back end. During innings break I felt it could make a difference and I was upset. But thankfully it was enough. Last game we made some errors. Some loose balls here and there. Today we were outstanding in the field. Stuck to the plans and knew what the conditions were. With impact player rule, you always want the extra 20 runs. Never know what par score is. That was one area - not getting wickets in powerplay. That's the only way it can put opposition in back foot. He's bowling really well (Deshpande). His hard work is paying off. Special mention to Jaddu as well. In these wet conditions to go for 22 runs, that was the match turning spell. I'm not vocal. Can't tell seniors in the dressing room what to do. You have to take the back seat and let them do their job.

CSK have climbed up to the third position just above SRH in the points table despite sharing the same points. We will be taking your leave now. That's all from our side. Goodnight!
