Chennai won the toss and chose to bowl and got off to the perfect start as Deepak Charar bowled Shikhar Dhawan with the first ball of the match.
Sky Sports Cricket showed the action:
The wickets continued to tumble and Manish Pandey's departure left Sunrisers in trouble at 69 for five after just 12 overs.
However, a great innings by Carlos Braithwaite gave them a chance, as he managed an unbeaten 43 off 28 balls to leave Chennai to chase down 140.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck in the first over to take Shane Watson out for a duck. Siddarth Kaul then clean bowled Suresh Raina and Ambati Rajudu in successive balls to leave Sunrisers at 24 for three.
The Indian Premier League's Twitter account seemed pretty impressed:
"That is a sensational delivery from @sidkaul22! Swinging yorker and Rayudu has gone first ball. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE!#Qualifier1 #SRHvCSK pic.twitter.com/lGc8NqnOa0

MS Dhoni managed just nine before being bowled by Rashid Khan, and at the halfway stage Chennai were 50 for four.
Khan struck again to dismiss Bravo but Du Plessis managed to keep his head while his team-mates were falling away.
He brought up his half-century with a six and then secured the win with another six. Broken Cricket showed how impressive he was when it was needed:
Chennai are into their seventh final but must wait to discover who they will face. Sunrisers are back in action on Friday as they play the winners of Wednesday's eliminator.
