Brief scores:
Gujarat Titans 162/7 (Hardik Pandya 50*, Abhinav Manohar 35; T Natarajan 2-32) vs SunRises Hyderabad (Kane Williamson 57, Abhishek Sharma 42; Hardik Pandya 1-27).
Sunrisers Hyderabad thrashed Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets in an IPL 2022 match on Monday (April 11) at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai, riding on a fantastic all-round performance.
SRH was chasing a difficult 163-run target, and captain Kane Williamson was instrumental in the chase, with Abhishek Sharma scoring a quick 42.
Gujarat lost their first match in the IPL 2022 after winning their first three matches in the competition.
The Sunrisers, who were chasing 163, got off to a good start, as openers Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson put on 42 runs in the opening six overs without losing any wickets.
Abhishek Sharma hit 17 runs off Lockie Ferguson, who was playing his 100th T20 encounter, in the final over of the powerplay for the men in orange.
Rashid Khan, a former SRH spinner, provided Gujarat with their first breakthrough when he dismissed the dangerous-looking opener Abhishek Sharma for 42. Rashid Khan bowled a nice length ball to Abhishek, who mistimed his pull and was caught at deep mid-wicket by Sai Sudharsan.
With the run rate rising, Kane Williamson took matters into his own hands in the 13th over, slamming back-to-back sixes off Hardik Pandya. Rahul Tripathi was injured in the next over after slamming Rahul Tewatia for a six on the opening ball.
After that, Nicholas Pooran joined his skipper on the crease, and the two began clocking runs on the board. Williamson reached his composed fifty in the 16th over before being dismissed on the first delivery of the next over.
SRH needed 34 runs off 24 balls at the time of Williamson’s exit. Aiden Markram and Pooran then ensured that SRH’s march would be free of snags as they smoothly tracked down the target.
Hardik Pandya (50*) and Abhinav Manohar (35) played outstanding knocks to help Gujarat Titans reach 162/7 in 20 overs against SunRisers Hyderabad.
