How to make Angular Material Table with sticky first column

Question

Is there any way to make Angular Material with a sticky first column using CSS?.

Here is ready to edit Stackblitz code

I have tried to adapt this solution https://jsfiddle.net/zinoui/BmLpV/ but for some reasons, the first column is thrown out of the table itself and it loses styling.

<div class="zui-wrapper">
    <div class="zui-scroller">
        <table class="zui-table">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th class="zui-sticky-col">Name</th>..........
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td class="zui-sticky-col">DeMarcus Cousins</td>
.......
                <tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
</div>


.zui-scroller {
    margin-left: 141px;
    overflow-x: scroll;
    overflow-y: visible;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    width: 300px;
}
.zui-table .zui-sticky-col {
    border-left: solid 1px #DDEFEF;
    border-right: solid 1px #DDEFEF;
    left: 0;
    position: absolute;
    top: auto;
    width: 120px;
}
