Superb bowling display by the pacer. Both Williamson and Shakib have upped the ante with some good-looking shots out there. And the over from Stanlake might have just turned the momentum CSK's way.

Get highlights of IPL 2018 first qualifier between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings from Wankhede stadium, Mumbai here. Chasing 140, CSK were in trouble thanks to a sensational spell of bowling from Rashid Khan who had figures of 4-0-11-2. However, du Plessis targeted Carlos Braithwaite and Siddarth Kaul as CSK smashed 20 and 17 runs in the 18th and 19th over to enter the final of IPL 2018. Get highlights of SRH v CSK, IPL 2018 first qualifier, here. Join us tomorrow for the Eliminator between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. I just said in the change room tonight, how did we win that game. It was looking out of reach. Everything went our way towards the end. Rashid Khan was a handful on that wicket. There was a bit for the fast bowlers initially. Bhuvi bowled really well and he was backed up well by Rashid. We lost three-four in the middle and that put pressure. Obviously they have a mystery bowler. Good to win games like this. Now we have to do some hard work in Kolkata to come back here. We certainly back our death bowlers in that position. Most time we would defend that total, but credit to the CSK lower order. They bat a long way down and they kept us under pressure. The moment is not so much like how MS Dhoni sealed the World Cup with a six in 2011 but the emotions are almost the same. Slower length ball on off stump, du Plessis pumps it over deep mid wicket for his fourth six and CSK win by two wickets to enter the final. For Sunrisers Hyderabad, they will now have to travel to Eden Gardens where they will meet the winner of the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals game. He has redeemed himself in style with a fine cameo. He gets two boundaries past short fine leg and he ends the over in style by blasting a full ball down the ground for a boundary. He creams a drive through extra cover and then mauls a length ball over deep mid wicket. Faf then brings up his ninth IPL fifty with a glance past short fine leg and although Harbhajan Singh is run-out thanks to some great fielding from Rashid Khan, du Plessis smears a boundary to deep cover. An over where he bowled the variations to perfection and nailed the yorker brilliantly. He ends with figures of 4-0-11-2. Outstanding bowling and he shows why he is the best in this format. CSK need 47 off 24 balls. A run-rate of over 12 with du Plessis the key. Can SRH pull this off or will CSK achieve yet another final-over win? Faf du Plessis is given LBW to a googly from Rashid Khan and he reviews, replay shows the ball to be just missing leg stump. CSK survive and we are headed for yet another thriller. This is a brilliant passage of play. However, there is a controversial moment as Chahar slams a catch to long on, Brathwaite lunges forward to take the catch. There is some confusion whether it is taken cleanly. The soft signal is out and replays are inconclusive and the decision stays. Big moment in the game. The South African right-hander holds the key now for CSK. This time Sandeep Sharma gets into the act. The knuckle ball and it is full on off stump, it sticks on the deck and Ravindra Jadeja can only chip it back to the bowler. Yet again, SRH have put on an exhibition in bowling. The extra bounce and spin from the deck has Dwayne Bravo flashing at that delivery and Shikhar Dhawan takes it at slip. Sunrisers Hyderabad are closing in on the final. Just a short while back, there was a bit of concern for Sunrisers Hyderabad after Rashid Khan walked off the park looking sick. However, he is alright and looks set to torment the CSK batsmen, who are floundering on a difficult deck. He has figures of 2-0-5-1. The required rate is nine per over. However, in these conditions, the SRH bowlers are absolutely brilliant and the key strikers, in addition to the back-up are simply outstanding. That is a massive wicket. The googly floated up outside off, Dhoni is lured into the drive and the ball spins past the gap between bat and pad to crash into the stumps. Sunrisers Hyderabad are showing their bowling might. Now, the situation becomes even more interesting with Rashid Khan coming into the attack. Can he get the vital wicket of MS Dhoni? Brilliant ball to get rid of Raina as the left-hander shuffles across and looks to flick but the ball hits the leg stump. MS Dhoni survives the hat-trick 21:10 hrs IST: Another tight over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Sunrisers Hyderabad are going as per plan when it comes to bowling. Raina and Rayudu hold the key for the chase now. Superb bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Good length ball which darts away sharply outside off, Shane Watson has a poke at it and the edge is taken by Shreevats Goswami. This will not be an easy chase. Remember, they have defended scores as low as 118 in this edition. Sensational stuff and can Brathwaite create an impact in the final over? He clouts two sixes off Shardul Thakur well back into the stands at deep mid wicket. Will this match be the repeat of the Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad game where they managed just 118 and SRH defended the score? But, CSK are a different batting unit. Superb catch from Dwayne Bravo. Full ball outside off, Pathan drills the straight drive but Bravo latches onto the catch low to his right and he breaks into a jig. Fantastic stuff from CSK. The stats could have been much better had Yusuf Pathan not gotten an edge to third man for a boundary. The veteran is getting some boundaries but he is also facing lot of dot balls. First boundary in over five overs. Quicker ball on middle and leg stump from Ravindra Jadeja, Manish Pandey looks to turn it to the leg side but gets a leading edge that is taken by the bowler. Next ball, Carlos Brathwaite survives a run-out chance. Maybe, they have to be given a reminder that they are playing a T20, not an ODI. However, credit to Chennai Super Kings who are bowling beautifully. Yusuf and Manish are not in great form but this is the time to show their mettle. The run-rate is just under seven but SRH will need a lot of big scores and hits if they are to reach 150, which will be a good total on this deck. The onus is on Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan to boost the team towards a good score. The bowling has defended low totals but CSK are a different beast altogether. Short ball from Dwayne Bravo and Shakib goes for the pull, he gets a glove and MS Dhoni tumbles to his right to take a good catch. It apparently slipped out of his hand but umpire Marais Erasmus signals it as a dead ball instead of a no-ball. Short ball on leg stump, Williamson goes for the shot down fine leg but gets a glove that is taken by MS Dhoni. CSK are all over SRH like a rash. Short ball outside off, Goswami flat-bats it low to the right of the bowler who bends low and takes a nice clean catch. Superb stuff from the South African pacer. MS Dhoni tries his patent back of the hand flick onto the stumps but he misses. Goswami was a goner if that had hit. Some days, even the best can miss. Shreevats Goswami gets an outside edge to a swinging delivery but it flies past second slip to the third man fence. Deepak Chahar bowls a full ball that swings away outside off, Shikhar Dhawan chases after it and drags the ball back onto the stumps. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Kane Williamson eases the pressure with three boundaries, one through point, one through backward square leg. Shane Watson replaces Sam Billings in the CSK side while SRH have remained unchanged. Here are the playing XIs. This is concerning Chennai Super Kings. When it comes to IPL and play-offs, CSK have a great relationship. Both teams will be looking to avoid a detour to Kolkata and get a direct entry into the final, which will be played at the Wankhede stadium. The loser heads to the Eden Gardens where they will play the winner of the Eliminator between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. Sunrisers Hyderabad may have finished top of the standings but three consecutive defeats leading to Qualifer 1 have laid bare the chinks in their armour. While twice they failed to defend a total, in the third game they conceded 200-plus runs which the batsmen failed to chase. On Tuesday, they will be up against Chennai Super Kings, one of the best teams in IPL history and who have made the final in six of the eight editions they have been part of. For Sunrisers to harbour any hopes of toppling the two-time champions, they will have to be on top of their game, as teams who have erred have paid the price. First Published: May 22, 2018 17:35 IST.
