Phil Salt's 63 powered them to 175/8, but the innings stalled badly at the death (and no, Axar didn't bowl the 19th this time).
KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs rebuilt calmly before David Miller iced it at the finish.
In Hyderabad, SRH's 194 looked under threat with CSK cruising at 111/3.
But wickets in clusters and sharp death bowling flipped it, as CSK fell short by 10 runs.
Oh, that happened
CSK lost yet another run-chase, this time after cruising to 112/3 chasing 195, with the win probability at 69%, only to fall short by 10 after managing just 30/2 in the next five overs. It mirrors a deeper slide; they have the second-worst chasing record since 2024 (6 wins in 16) and have lost 16 of 18 chases of 175-plus since 2020.
