Abhishek-Kishan show puts SRH on top

Ishan Kishan blasted a 31-ball 74 while Abhishek Sharma overcame a couple of reprieves to score 57 off 29, powering Sunrisers Hyderabad to a stunning chase of 229 with nine balls to spare. Heinrich Klaasen (29) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (36) then added a crucial 53-run stand for the fourth wicket to seal the win.

The opening over set the tone for a dramatic contest as Dhruv Jurel dropped a straightforward chance off Jofra Archer to hand Travis Head an early life. Head struck a six soon after but Archer responded quickly, dismissing him with a catch behind. Archer also tested Kishan with a sharp 145.4 kmph delivery that deflected off the helmet for four, though the left-hander counterattacked with three boundaries in the same over.
