IPL: Chennai Super Kings beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 20 runs

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 20 runs in the Indian Premier League in Dubai.

“This was one game as close to perfect as possible,” said CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said.

“You keep winning the games, the points table will take care of itself. No point looking at the table, but we’ll still look at what we can improve,” he was quoted as saying by The Associated Press.

Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad both now have six points after eight games and are at No. 6 and 7 respectively on the points table.

Chennai could win only two of its first seven games while chasing down the targets, but Dhoni’s decision to bat after winning the toss on Tuesday paid off.
