Join Sreshth for the chase to see where this one goes.

Guess what? The lowest total that Super Kings have failed to chase in a full 20-over IPL match is 127. Just Ask Cricinfo.

Mukund: "Chahar Thakur - 8ov, 69/1. Rest of the bowlers - 12ov, 60/6."

Hazlewood: "It was challenging at times, but it was helpful in that it was slow. All in all, a pretty good performance. [It is about] the right ball at the right time. Just try and get a field for what the batter is about to do next. [Under Dhoni?] It has been awesome. He plays like the way I do - calm. I enjoy that. [Keep] wickets in the shed [for the chase]."

7.39pm This is Sunrisers' lowest total against Super Kings in IPL cricket. As usual, a slow and low pitch here in the UAE this leg, and the side batting side huffs and puffs its way to 134. Saha was the top-scorer, but even his 44 took 46 balls. Hazlewood, with 3 for 24, stood out for Super Kings, as did Bravo and Jadeja with their economy rate.

Chahar to Rashid Khan, 1 run, just short of Bravo at short third man! And guess what? Super Kings review. Phew. That was a yorker on leg, as Rashid looked to flick by clearing his front leg. Instead, replays confirm that he got a leading edge toward short third man, as the ball just landed short of the fielder.

Last ball of the innings coming up...

19.5
0
Chahar to Rashid Khan, no run, bowls a sharp slower ball, which is short of a length outside off. Rashid looks to pull, but is beaten by the lack of pace
19.4
1
Chahar to Kumar, 1 run, full-toss on middle bowled from wide of the crease. He lofts that with the full face of the bat, and lobs that toward the left of long-on
19.3
1
Chahar to Rashid Khan, 1 run, this is shorter in length and outside off. Pulled to deep midwicket while playing slightly away from his body
19.2
4
Chahar to Rashid Khan, FOUR, scooped over short fine leg! Chahar bowls on a good length on leg, and it is a change of pace again. Rashid is low and across off already, and ramps that over

Noaman Khan: "What a bowler Dwayne Bravo has become. Not only miserly with the bowl but also takes crucial wickets at crucial junctures. Well done Dwayne"

19.1
1
Chahar to Kumar, 1 run, slower ball to start with. Good length ball on off, and clipped to midwicket by Bhuvneshwar, as Chahar gives the chase to his right

Chahar will bowl it. Over the wicket to Bhuvneshwar

Final over. Anyone for 135, like our predictor says?

Thakur to Rashid Khan, no run, and tries to repeat that shot, but is beaten. This is again very full, but just outside off
18.4

Thakur to Rashid Khan, 2 runs, half a helicopter shot there! He stays deep in his crease, with his front leg outside off. He clears his front leg too, as Thakur bowls a low full-toss just outside off, which Rashid flicks to deep midwicket

Thakur to Rashid Khan, 1 wide, very full and very wide of off. Left alone this time, and wide called
18.3

Thakur to Rashid Khan, FOUR, flashed just over short third man! Full and wide of off again, and this time reaches out for it to have a slash
18.2
W
Thakur to Holder, OUT, good catch by Chahar at deep point! He goes low to his right at the last moment, and ends up pocketing it while falling to the ground. That was miles up in the air - and for a long time too - as Holder tried to repeat the shot from the previous ball by trying slash that full and wide ball outside off

JO Holder c Chahar b Thakur 5 (10m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

Aayushman: "With Starc and Cummins not playing in the IPL, Hazlewood's knowhow of the conditions will hugely benefit Australia in the World Cup."

Thakur to Holder, 2 runs, goes after a full and wide ball outside off, and sends that sailing between deep point and third man. The latter runs in, and keeps that to two

Thakur also into his last. Over the wicket

17.5

Bravo to Rashid Khan, no run, again Rashid makes room, but is completely foxed by the slower ball! Bowls on a full length on leg, as the ball takes off over the stumps, which are exposed after Rashid gives himself room

Bravo to Holder, 1 run, good length ball on leg, and flicked to deep square from deep in his crease

1
Bravo to Rashid Khan, 1 run, a low, dipping full-toss on his pads. A slower ball too, as Rashid lets that come before clipping that fine leg

Bravo into his last. Around the wicket

1
Hazlewood to Rashid Khan, 1 run, and Hazlewood bowls full and wide of off again. But this time Rashid swings that all along the ground to deep point. Hazlewood finishes with 3 for 24, his best IPL figures

Rashid is in, with Hazlewood over the wicket

16.5
W
Hazlewood to Abdul Samad, OUT, taken high by Moeen at point! Moeen times his slight jump well, and another Sunrisers wicket falls. Hazlewood pitches that really full and pretty wide of off. Samad tries to slice that over the man inside the circle, but doesn't time that all that well, as the ball lobs toward point, where Moeen is alert to the chance

Abdul Samad c Ali b Hazlewood 18 (23m 14b 1x4 1x6) SR: 128.57

16.4
1
Hazlewood to Holder, 1 run, very full and just wide of off. He opens the bat face to run that down to third man

Holder is the new batter, with Hazlewood over the wicket

16.3
W
Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, OUT, taken by du Plessis at long-on! The ball was again full, but this time straighter on middle. He looks to lift that again, and this time over the bowler's head, but gets that off the bottom off the bat to lob that right down to the man, who is in fact a few steps inside the boundary

Abhishek Sharma c du Plessis b Hazlewood 18 (27m 13b 1x4 1x6) SR: 138.46

16.2
6
Hazlewood to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, ridiculous! How could he do that? Hazlewood pitches it up close to the slot on off, and Abhishek remains deep in his crease and clears his front leg to loft that over extra cover. Effortless shot against a brilliant bowler

Satyam: "As SRH is already out of the league and Abdul Samad showing more potential than Abhishek and Priyam, SRH should send Samad up the order and allow him to face more balls and grow confidence (Maybe Holder too)"

16.1
1
Hazlewood to Abdul Samad, 1 run, bisects short third man and point, as he opens the bat face to slice that very full ball outside off. But Moeen is sitting pretty at third man, and it is a single only

Right then. Our predictor thinks Sunrisers can get to 140 from here.
