IPL 2024 results: Sunrisers Hyderabad hit record IPL score for second time this season
- Discover the latest IPL 2024 results as Sunrisers Hyderabad set a new record for the second time this season with a remarkable score, reshaping the landscape of cricket’s premier league.
For the second time this season, Sunrisers Hyderabad shattered the record for the highest Indian Premier League total when they defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru with a score of 287-3.
Travis Head scored 102 runs off of 41 balls to help Sunrisers overcome Mumbai Indians’ 277-3 from a month ago.
It was the best score in a franchise tournament and the second-highest in a men’s T20.
With RCB losing by barely 25 runs, the game became the highest-scoring Twenty20 ever.
After a stunning 35-ball 83 from Dinesh Karthik at number six, they finished on 262-7, although a victory always looked improbable considering that they needed to score more than 20 runs per over in the final five overs.
IPL table: leading scorers of runs and wickets
England all-rounder Will Jacks, who had earlier bowled three wicketless overs at a cost of 32, was run out backing up for seven in the RCB chase.
In his four overs for RCB, his international teammate Reece Topley recorded figures of 1-68, which was the third most expensive in an IPL game.
The Australian international Head scored 108 runs with Abhishek Sharma for the first wicket, hitting nine fours and eight sixes.
Topley removed Abhishek from the game, but Head persisted and became the fourth-fastest player in IPL history by reaching his century in 39 balls.
In the thirteenth over, he mishandled a catch to mid-off off Lockie Ferguson, but Heinrich Klaasen hit seven sixes in a 31-ball 67, Aiden Markram was undefeated at 32 from 17 balls, and Abdul Samad was 37 not out from 10.
The only team to score more than the Sunrisers in the men’s T20 cricket format is Nepal, which defeated Mongolia 314-3 last year.
