Sunrisers Hyderabad lost opener Jonny Bairstow for a duck off a Deepak Chahar delivery in the very first over.

Skipper David Warner (28) and Manish Pandey (29) then steadied their side's innings by stitching a crucial partnership of 46 runs for the second wicket.

Meanwhile, Kane Williamson--who scored a crucial knock of 26-ball 41 runs in the previous fixture--fell cheaply for nine runs.

Subsequently, 19-year-old Garg not only brought up an unbeaten quick-fire knock of 51 runs off 26 balls, but also stitched a 77-run stand with Abhishek Sharma to help Sunrisers Hyderabad post a decent score of 164 for five in their stipulated 20 overs.

For CSK, Deepak Chahar bagged two wickets, while Shardul Thakur and Piyush Chawla chipped in with a wicket each.

In reply, the Chennai franchise lost openers Faf du Plessis (22), Shane Watson (1), Ambati Rayudu (8) and Kedar Jadhav (three) cheaply. 
 
Though skipper MS Dhoni (36-ball 47) stitched crucial partnerships of 72 runs and 43 runs with Ravindra Jadeja (35-ball 50) and Sam Curran (15), respectively, it was just not enough for CSK to cross the mark.

Sunrisers Hyderabad restricted CSK to a score of 157 for five, with T Natarajan taking two wickets while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Abdul Samad grabbing a wicket each.

Priyam Garg was declared 'Man of the Match' for his impressive peformance with the bat.
