SUNRISERS HYDERABAD-

SRH came after scoring 286 in the last game and so were expected to carry on from where they had left. However, Thakur and Avesh Khan jammed the length back in their own overs to keep the score down to 15 in two overs. Thakur then had Abhishek for the third time in seven T20s when he banged in a bouncer and soon followed it up as he strangled Kishan, who was the centurion in the previous game down the leg side. The only thing that prevented him from scoring a hat trick was when Nitish Kumar Reddy managed to get under a yorker. Travis Head faced Avesh from the other end in an 18-run over for SRH as they started to wrestle back some momentum. The sixth over saw Head being dropped by Pooran and Ravi Bishnoi, as he hit a six over cover in between.

LSG were sloppy in the field Head after the Power Play, overthrows allowing SRH to scamper for three before Head cut Digvesh Rathi to the fence. Starting badly, Prince Yadav was hit through fine-leg for four and then showed Head (put it up!) the way to the pavilion, helping LSG back into the game. Yadav, who bowled four of the six on the trot, kept the ball pitched right under the bat and mixed it with wide slower-ball yorkers. He even had Heinrich Klaasen run-out backing up too much after Reddy drilled one back to him. This was after Klaasen had slog-swept Rathi for a maximum and then followed that up with an astonishing backfoot punch off Bishnoi past the boundary. Things improved further for the tourists when Bishnoi had Reddy cleaned up with a delivery within 105kmph but just as they attempted to wrap up the 15th over, Aniket Verma lost his composure. Having taken Bishnoi down the ground in the 13th over, Verma also clattered Bishnoi for a couple of more sixes in a 15-run 15th over.

Verma continued his blitzkrieg by hitting Rathi for two sixes off successive deliveries but the bowler had the last laugh as Verma holed out to long-off after a 13-ball 36. Abhinav Manohar dismissed cheaply off Thakur. SRH skipper Pat Cummins essayed a cameo of sorts, albeit for a brief period off three sixes of his four-ball stay at the middle. Thakur then got his fourth of the night, in the form of Mohammed Shami, as he finished with personal best figures of 4 for 34 to successfully help LSG keep Sunrisers under 200.

LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS-

Abhishek opened with a quiet three-run over, an outlier in a grisly Power Play for the hosts. Shami did send Aiden Markram back for one but followed it with a five-wides as, impact sub, Mitchell Marsh broke the shackles with a flick over mid-wicket to the fence. Pooran wasted no time getting into the act, hitting Simarjeet Singh for two sixes on the onside after Reddy had misfielded one on the boundary ropes early in the over. In the following over, he offered a half-chance to the extra cover fielder but the ferocity of the drive took the ball past the fielder and to the fence. Then Marsh feasted on Shami, with two sixes in the over for 18 runs. The decision to revert back to Abhishek proved to be counterproductive for the hosts with Pooran, who has an excellent record against left-arm spinner smashing two sixes as LSG raced to the 50-run mark within five overs. Pooran brought the Power Play to a close with a pair of boundaries off Cummins, which brought him to 44.

Hosts made Zampa their impact sub, however, Pooran sent him over the boundary with a slog-sweep as the left-hander raised his 50 in just 18 balls, fastest in the tournament so far this year. LSG blew the hosts with the Zampa over costing the tourists as much as 19 runs. Harshal Patel then bowled a nine-ball 15-run over as the partnership crossed the 100 run mark. Finally, the hosts had Pooran out, Cummins thudding a fuller delivery into the man’s pads. It was Marsh’s second 50 on the hop in a row, hitting back-to-back boundaries from Pat Cummins to bring up the milestone, before he chipped one to long-on.

It was right at the start of Simarjeet’s second over when Rishab Pant welcomed him back with a six and Ayush Badoni also chipped in with a four. But the latter perished in a stunning take by Harshal, who sprinted in to grab the ball from the mid-wicket boundary, in the next over, as the hosts sought to rally. The mood around the ground lightened after Harshal had Pant caught at third-man, but former SRH player Abdul Samad ended the 15th over with a four and a six leaving LSG needing just 15 in the death overs.

Samad rumbled the ball as he turned it on the off-colour Zampa with a six and a four before David Miller put an end to the proceedings. The South African cracked a lofted drive through covers for four to finish off as LSG won by 23 balls.
