Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs in Hyderabad. Having missed on beating their own record of highest-run score in IPL despite Ishan Kishan’s century and Travis Head’s 67, Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel’s 111-run partnership was not enough to get past the finishing line.

Playing his first game as an IPL captain, Riyan Parag sent the Sunrisers Hyderabad to bat first. In no time, he faced the heat from the opposition openers as Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head started off from where they left the last season. The pair smashed the new ball bowlers left, right, and center to rack up 94 runs inside the powerplay despite the Indian’s wicket. Head continued his flourish with Ishan Kishan joining him in the assault, steering SRH to 123/1 in nine overs. In the next over, Head departed for a 31-ball 67 before Nitish Reddy assisted in a 72-run partnership with Kishan. Having already surpassed the 200-run mark by the 14th over, Heinrich Klaasen joined the six-hitting mayhem as his 14-ball 34 blitz coupled with Kishan’s maiden IPL century propelled SRH to a gargantuan 286 runs total in 20 overs.

Unlike their counterparts, the visitors lost triple wickets early in the powerplay as Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag fell prey to Simarjeet Singh followed by Mohammad Shami removing Nitish Rana. Unfettered by the early blows, the Royals managed to fetch 77 runs inside the field restrictions with Dhruv Jurel accelerating under the presence of Samson. The pair added 111 runs for the fourth-wicket recovering the side from what could’ve been a potential collapse. Harshal Patel outwitted Samson for a 37-ball 66 with the score 161/4 in the 14th over. While Jurel departed for 70, striking 200, the duo of Shubham Dubey and Shimron Hetmyer smacked the Sunrisers bowlers in the slog overs phase. However, their cameos were not enough as the hosts’ 286-run total was too much to chase down for any team.
