The SRH openers got off to an uncharacteristically slow start with Abhishek Sharma scoring just 40 runs off 28 balls and Travis Head scoring 28 runs off 29 balls. After the dismissal of two batsmen, SRH struggled in the middle order, but a flourish from Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Varma ensured that they put on a total of 162 runs.
In reply, MI got off to a shaky start with opener Rohit Sharma out for 26 in the 4th over. The home side looked to be in trouble as they lost wicket after wicket, but in the end Tilak Varma remained unbeaten on 21 off 17 balls to ensure the run chase didn’t go awry.
