Watch cricket video highlights between Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Punjab Kings. Indian Premier League 2024 twenty third match, played at Mullanpur.
In the last over, Sunrisers Hyderabad let Ashutosh Sharma get three catches, leaving Punjab Kings needing 29 runs to win. Two of them almost changed the contest by going over the ropes for sixes. However, Kings need nine deliveries, and after the third failed, there was just one left. Kings lost their pursuit of 183 runs, which gave Sunrisers their third victory of the season, by barely two runs, despite Shashank Singh hitting the final ball far over the long-off boundary.
Jaydev Unadkat delivered the last over, which ended at 26. Inevitably, Harshal Patel dropped Unadkat on the last delivery of Sunrisers’ innings, and the ball bounced up over the rope for six. precise edges. Had Shashank and Ashutosh managed to pull off another robbery against the Gujarat Titans, like they did five days prior, what a dream it would have been. Eventually, though, they had too many to get in the last chase over.
Midway through the 16th over, with Kings at 114 for 6, they united. With 24 balls left, the needed rate, which was 15.33 at the moment, quickly increased to 16.75. For every one of those four overs, a different bowler was used, and they were all sent to the dry cleaners. And Shashank faced Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the seventeenth. Over the short third first ball of the over, he grabbed a streaky outside edge for four. The next ball was cut to deep extra cover, and the next was hammered wide long-off.
After that, Ashutosh kept the Kings in contention by swatting and ramping Pat Cummins for two consecutive fours in the eighteenth over. With Kings needing to score 39 in the next two overs, the chances were still in favor of SRH. Unadkat had 28 to defend in the 20th after T Natajaran was removed for ten, a great over in the grand scheme of things.
The last over for Unadkat began with a six, two wides, and another six. In two balls, fourteen runs were gone. However, he bounced back, giving up only six runs in his next three deliveries. The last ball was delivered by Shashank for a six, but Kings just failed to cross the boundary.
It would have been Nitish Kumar Reddy’s heart in his mouth during the last over’s devastation. Ultimately, he had mishandled the opening ball of the last over, which was Ashutosh’s catch. However, Reddy’s innings of 64 off 37 balls lifted SRH to 182 after saving them from a dire 64 for 4 in the tenth over. Reddy was left to handle the repairs when Aiden Markram, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and others dropped for a low price. He once hit Harpreet Brar for four and a six in the 11th over, on 14 off 18 balls. Sam Curran was hammered over deep square, and Kagiso Rabada was caught over long leg for six. However, Reddy really got things going in the fifteenth over when he deposited Brar for consecutive balls that were 4, 6, 4, and 6.
Arshdeep Singh has four wickets in as many IPL 2024 games going into this one. He increased his season total against SRH his route to 4 for 29. The first of those occurred as Dhawan reversed direction and backpedaled from mid-off on the second ball of the third over in order to catch Head. After two deliveries, Arshdeep got Markram to edge behind the wicketkeeper with an angled delivery. With Arshdeep’s opening spell stats of 2-0-8-2, SRH was limited to 40 for 3, their lowest powerplay of the season.
Arshdeep had taken just one wicket in 20 balls in the last overs of the season prior to Tuesday night. 11.70 was his economy rate. However, he was summoned in for the last overs against SRH, when he claimed two of the four wickets.
On the third ball of the 17th over, Arshdeep went full and wide to Abdul Samad, who hit deep point, and Reddy and Samad had scored 50 in only 19 balls. After that, Reddy was dismissed by the quick bowler, who could only loft a low full ball to long on. Although Arshdeep’s statistics were slightly spoiled by Shahbaz Ahmed’s 15 from the 19th over of the innings, the quicks still had a great day even if they ended up losing.
