The highly anticipated match ended up in a Thriller when Faf played a brilliant knock of 67 runs off 42 balls.He kept his calm and managed to get a win from a very unlikely situatuon for CSK who were already 8 wickets down when Faf was batting.
In front of the Best Bowling Attack of SRH,it was highly unlikely for CSK to win yesterday till 18th over when Faf Hammered West Indies Bowler Carlos Braithwaite for 20 runs which turned the match completely in CSK's favour.For his Magnificient Innings,he was named "Man of the Match".
SRH however will have another opportunity to reach finals when they will face the Winner of Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders tonight at Eden Garden,Kolkata.
