Sunrisers Hyderabad Bat First and Set a Mammoth Target

SRH captain Kane Williamson opted to bat first after winning the toss. The decision proved to be a masterstroke as their openers, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, got off to a flying start. Head, in particular, was in sublime touch, scoring a magnificent century (114 runs off 65 balls) laced with 12 fours and 6 sixes.

Heinrich Klaasen provided valuable support with a blistering knock of 67 runs off just 34 deliveries. The duo stitched together a crucial 184-run partnership for the second wicket, laying a solid foundation for a mammoth total.

In the death overs, Nicholas Pooran added a quickfire 32 (18 balls) to propel SRH to a staggering total of 287/3 – their highest-ever IPL score and the highest total ever set in a T20 match.

RCB Put Up a Gallant Fight but Fall Short

Chasing a record-breaking target, RCB needed a special effort from their batsmen. Openers Faf du Plessis (43 runs) and Virat Kohli (37 runs) provided a decent start, but wickets began to fall at regular intervals.

The experienced Dinesh Karthik, however, held his fort at one end. He played a brilliant knock of 83 runs off 45 balls, including 5 fours and 7 sixes, keeping RCB’s hopes alive. Shahbaz Ahmed chipped in with a valuable 32 (21 balls) but wickets continued to tumble at the other end.

Despite a valiant effort, RCB fell short by 25 runs, ending their innings at 262/7. Pat Cummins was the pick of the SRH bowlers, scalping 3 wickets for 34 runs in his four overs.

  • Joint-Most Sixes in a T20: A total of 38 sixes were hit in the match, equaling the record set in the CPL match between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Barbados Tridents in 2017.
