Hyderabad, India: Aiden Markram’s half-century rushed Sunrisers Hyderabad to a comfortable six-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League on Friday.
Hyderabad cruised to 166-4 with 11 balls to spare after limiting Chennai to 165-5.
Despite consecutive defeats, Chennai stayed third on the table while Hyderabad moved to fifth on an inferior net run-rate.
Markram's 50 off 36 balls, his first fifty of the campaign, followed Abhishek Sharma's whirlwind 37 off just 12 deliveries, which provided the home team a rollicking start of 46 runs inside the first three overs.
Opener Travis Head was dropped by Moeen Ali in the first over before the Australian left-hander scored. He went on to 31 off 24.
