Highlights of the SRH vs. RR game from last night:
SRH set a goal for RR of 201 runs. Travis Head, the opener, blasted 58 off 44 balls with three sixes and six fours, and Abhishek Sharma finished with 12 from 10 balls. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Henrich Klaasen, who respectively hit an undefeated 76 off 42 balls and 42 off 19 balls to lead Sunrisers Hyderabad to 201 for three, were two other players who had an influence on their innings.
As RR’s innings came to an end, Bhuvneshwar Kumar of SRH maintained composure to give his team a one-run victory over the Royals. The first to fall for a golden duck was Jos Buttler, and Bhuvneshwar followed suit three balls later with a beautiful inswinging delivery to castle skipper Sanju Samson for a three-ball duck. After a 134-run partnership between Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal, the game appeared to be finally getting back on track. They appeared to have nearly taken SRH out of the game. In contrast to Parag, who struck 77 off 49 balls with 8 fours and 4 sixes, Jaiswal scored 67 off 40 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes. None of the players could have an effect once they were dismissed, though. The total score was 200 thanks to scores of 13 off 9 balls from Shimon Hetmyer, 27 off 15 balls from Rovman Powell, 1 off 3 balls from Dhruv Jurel, and 2 off 2 balls from R Ashwin, who remained unbeaten.
With two points from yesterday’s match, SRH overtook Chennai Super Kings and shot up to fourth place in the points table with 12 points from 10 games; nonetheless, RR maintained their lead with 16 points despite losing.
Travis Head after SRH’s one-run victory
Head stated, “It’s a good win, probably one that we didn’t expect at the end there,” following the game. At the end, Cummins and Bhuvi won us a hearty victory with their class. We’ve been performing well, but we’ve also lost a few games, which is good for the team spirit.” Additionally, he praised Nitish Reddy, the all-rounder, for his effortless knock.
“Once more, Nitish performed erratically. He has already come up big in a couple of innings, making it look quite simple. The pitch was difficult. I thought we had plenty, but that’s the nature of T20 crickets—most games go really down to the wire. It’s always good to triumph in front of your home crowd, Head continued.
