S Hussain|4|0|37|2
419.719.6: Sakib Hussain to Rahul Tewatia, FOUR! Gets it away, does Rahul Tewatia and Gujarat Titans finish with 168/5 on the board. This is bowled short and at the batter. Tewatia manages to get inside the line and he helps the pull well wide of fine leg, to the right of the fielder down there and picks up a boundary to end the first innings.
7 Over | Run: 168/5 | Run Rate: 8.40
019.619.5: Sakib Hussain to Washington Sundar, OUT! CAUGHT! A deceptive slower ball and this is turning out to be a fine final over from Sakib Hussain. Bowled just back of a length and outside off. It is the off cutter that grips and Washington Sundar is way too early into the attempted pull. Sundar can't even swing fully across the line and ends up getting a top edge towards the square leg region. The keeper, Ishan Kishan, jogs after it but soon realises that he has a lot of ground to cover and puts on the afterburners, diving forward and taking a brilliant catch.
119.519.4: Sakib Hussain to Jason Holder, Hard length over middle, angling in, hit away across through mid-wicket for just one more.
119.419.3: Sakib Hussain to Washington Sundar, FIFTY up for Washington Sundar, could end up being the differentiator between the two sides, this inning. Slower ball, into the pitch and right at the batter. Sundar is a bit taken aback as he leans to the off side and fends it away wide of the short fine leg fielder for a single.
119.319.2: Sakib Hussain to Jason Holder, Low full toss on off, Holder pushes it away towards cover and pinches a single.
019.219.2: Sakib Hussain to Jason Holder, WIDE! Slower ball, on a length and wide outside off. Holder looks to drag it leg side but misses and a wide is given. SRH have reviewed it, though. The third umpire is called into action. Replays show that the ball is comfortably outside the revised guideline and it stays a wide.
219.119.1: Sakib Hussain to Jason Holder, Pitched very full and just outside off, Holder ends up slicing it away over the cover region and picks up a couple of runs.
618.718.6: Eshan Malinga to Washington Sundar, SIX! How's he managed to do that? Incredible from Washington Sundar. Full and quick, attacking leg stump. Sundar looks for the flick again, but the ball dips and Sundar ends up falling, but he manages to still power it across and over deep square leg for a six. 18 off the over, a big one in terms of this innings.
7 Over | Run: 158/4 | Run Rate: 8.32
418.618.5: Eshan Malinga to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Washington Sundar brings up GT's 150 in style. Attempted yorker, slanted across off and middle, Sundar lunges across towards the off side, reaches out in front and laps the ball over the leapig fielder at short fine leg for a boundary.

418.218.2: Eshan Malinga to Washington Sundar, FOUR! The shorter deliveries aren't quite doing the trick for the bowlers on this deck. Dropped well short over off, Sundar hangs back and climbs into the pull, nailing it in front of square on the leg side for a boundary.
118.118.1: Eshan Malinga to Jason Holder, Dropped! Can we even call it that? A full toss around off, Jason Holder smacks it flat and straight back. Eshan Malinga sticks out his right hand on the follow-through, and the ball bursts through for a single.

016.216.2: Sakib Hussain to Sai Sudharsan, OUT! CAUGHT! A bit of cat and mouse between the batter and bowler and it is Sakib Hussain who comes out on top. Sai Sudharsan moves around in the crease and Sakib tries to slide a yorker in at the toes. Sudharsan gets a bit forward and tries to flick but changes his grip at the last second and reverse-ramps it on the full. The ball goes straight to short third, where Praful Hinge takes the catch with a crocodile cup. End of a top knock from Sudharsan.

414.114.1: Pat Cummins to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Oh, that's a shot and a half. Cummins serves it on a good length and outside off, Washington Sundar stays still and just extends his arms, lifting it inside-out over extra cover for a boundary.
113.613.6: Shivang Kumar to Washington Sundar, Oh, just short of the fielder in the deep. Tossed up on off, inviting the drive and Washington Sundar looks to take it on.

011.811.6: Shivang Kumar to Washington Sundar, Oh, that's come back in a fair bit. Good length outside off, Washington Sundar sets up to cut, but the ball turns back in a long way and Sundar does well to jam it out towards short third. Tidy start for Shivang, 6 runs off it.

09.39.3: Pat Cummins to Nishant Sindhu, OUT! CAUGHT! Pat Cummins breaks through as he so often does for whichever side he plays. The slower ball does the trick for the SRH skipper. Takes pace off and serves it on a length, on off. Sindhu plants his front foot towards the pitch of the ball, and he tries to clear the long off fence. He goes through the line but fails to pick up the change of pace. He is early into the lofted hit, and it goes only as far as long off, where Heinrich Klaasen makes no mistake.

First Gill, now Buttler, two big wickets for Praful Hinge. Tailing back in sharply, on a length, going down leg from middle. Buttler walks across and hangs low but fails to lay any bat on the scoop. Ishan Kishan moves to his left and snaffles it. He goes up in an appeal, as does Praful Hinge. Praful feels there is a deflection, and Pat Cummins takes the review with a couple of seconds left on the timer. The UltraEdge comes up with a spike, confirming bat's involvement.

A bit of shape back into the right-hander. Gill brings his bottom hand into play and jabs at it. The ball is a bit too full for Shubman to get under it and he fails to find the elevation. Hits it flat to mid on, where Heinrich Klaasen gets his hands forward and takes a good, low catch.

01.41.4: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Shubman Gill, PUT DOWN! It went at a good height but it was one of those chances that just stick. Seam-up ball, full in length, on the off pole. Gill looks to drive it down the ground but the ball comes on slower than he expected. He chips it back towards the bowler. Reddy sticks out the right hand as the ball comes to him at chest height. The ball hits him on the palm and drops down on the strip.
11.31.3: Nitish Kumar Reddy to Sai Sudharsan, Almost chopped it back onto the stumps! Very full, going across off. Sudharsan extends his hands to jam it out. Ekes out an inside edge and the ball goes past the stumps, behind on the leg side for a run.

20.30.3: Pat Cummins to Sai Sudharsan, Fuller and attacking the sticks. Sudharsan stays balanced at the crease and plays a wristy flick between mid-wicket and mid on.

20.20.2: Pat Cummins to Sai Sudharsan, Drags the length back a bit, on middle and leg. Sai brings his wrists into play and turns it to the left of deep backward square leg. Sudharsan has to hurry to complete the second run and he gets home before the throw comes in. Sai and the Titans are underway.

R Khan|0.5|0|3|1
014.514.5: Rashid Khan to Praful Hinge, OUT! STUMPED! Rashid Khan completes the clean-up job. A resounding win for the Gujarat Titans by a margin of 82 runs. Dragged down by Rashid and it is another googly, on middle and leg. A premeditated charge by Praful Hinge but he is nowhere near the pitch of the ball. The ball lands and spins back to go past the inside edge. Jos Buttler moves to his left, gathers the ball cleanly and whips the bails off with Hinge at a point of no return.
014.414.4: Rashid Khan to Praful Hinge, Out comes the wrong'un and the length is pulled back. Turning into the right-hander, Praful makes room and looks to swing it away on the leg side but misses and gets hit on the pads.

013.413.4: Prasidh Krishna to Pat Cummins, OUT! CAUGHT! Pat Cummins falls now. Seam-up ball, on a back of a length, on the off stump. This is bowled at 144.3 kph, Cummins continues to stay leg side of the ball and has a heave across the line. It is sliced off the outer half down to deep third, where Mohammed Siraj is placed a bit fine. He comes in off the ropes and could have taken another step forward but he hangs back and takes the catch around his shin.

413.113.1: Prasidh Krishna to Pat Cummins, FOUR! Nicely adjusted! Krishna slips in a good-length ball, tucking the batter up for room. Cummins swivels a bit and clears the front leg. He brings his bat out in front and whips it over mid-wicket to pick up a boundary.

012.212.2: Jason Holder to Shivang Kumar, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust. Shivang Kumar is early to shuffle across the off stump, and Jason Holder smartly takes pace off, bowling it full and around off. Kumar tries to lap it away but the ball dips and takes the handle of the bat, lobbing up wide to the left of the keeper. Jos Buttler scampers across and puts in the dive to take another fine catch as Holder picks up his third wicket.

010.510.4: Jason Holder to Nitish Kumar Reddy, OUT! CAUGHT! Jason Holder has done it again, a second wicket in the over and the Sunrisers are in serious danger of not even crossing the three-figure mark. Holder bowls it back of a length and a tad wide outside off. Nitish Kumar Reddy rocks back and punches it fiercely but slightly in the air and straight to point. Washington Sundar takes a sharp catch and the Titans are in a commanding position now.
010.410.4: Jason Holder to Nitish Kumar Reddy, WIDE! Length again, on the pads and slanting down leg. Jason Holder appeals a bit for a caught behind, but there's nothing much from Jos Buttler behind the stumps. Actually, Shubman Gill has taken the review for a wide, which is given on-field. Nitish Kumar Reddy seems fairly confident that he hasn't nicked it, but the third umpire has a look. Nothing on UltraEdge and slanting well enough down the leg side that the wide call stays.
210.310.3: Jason Holder to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Neatly tucked away. Good length, angling into middle and leg, Nitish Kumar Reddy clips it away wide to the right of mid on and picks up a couple of runs.
110.210.2: Jason Holder to Pat Cummins, Back of a length and outside off, guided away down to deep third for a single.
010.110.1: Jason Holder to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! CAUGHT! This could be game, set and match for the Titans. Jason Holder bowls it on a hard length and around off. Holder extracts extra bounce due to his height as well. Heinrich Klaasen hangs back to pull, but it isn't short enough, and the ball skids through, taking the top edge. The ball sails towards short fine leg, but Jos Buttler, the keeper, calls for it. The short fine leg fielder backs away, and Buttler manages to scamper towards the ball and take a brilliant catch. SRH are now 6 down with 113 still needed for the win.
09.69.6: Prasidh Krishna to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Pushes the length up now, on off and middle. NKR pushes out in front with hard hands. It goes off the inner half to mid-wicket. End of a successful over for Krishna. A wicket and just 2 runs off it. SRH need 113 runs from 60 balls.
6 Over | Run: 56/5 | Run Rate: 5.60

A wobble seam ball at 140.9 kph, bowled on a good length, in that channel on off. A tentative prod by Salil whilst staying leg side of the ball and his feet go nowhere.

09.39.3: Prasidh Krishna to Salil Arora, Hits the deck hard, on a shortish length, on off. Salil dabs it to backward point.
19.29.2: Prasidh Krishna to Heinrich Klaasen, Oh, so nearly went to hand! A bit more effort behind this ball by Prasidh Krishna. On a good length, honing in on the off stump.

The batters cross for one.

07.57.5: Kagiso Rabada to Salil Arora, Around off, on the shorter side, that is punched off the back foot but straight to the cover fielder.
07.47.4: Kagiso Rabada to Salil Arora, A lucky escape for Salil Arora. On a hard length, on middle. Arora hangs deep in the crease and tries to defend it late, close to his body. The ball deflects off an inside edge onto the front boot. Arora initially sets off for a run before turning around in panic, only to helplessly watch the ball roll onto the sticks but the ball does not have enough momentum to dislodge either of the two bails.
17.37.3: Kagiso Rabada to Heinrich Klaasen, Not in control but safe! Rabada digs it in short, on off. Heinrich Klaasen rises with the bounce and swivels for the pull. He is through his shot early and the ball catches the top edge before sailing over the keeper. The man at deep third is placed fine and he mops it up. Single taken.
07.27.2: Kagiso Rabada to Heinrich Klaasen, Very full, on off. Heinrich gets low to squeeze it out to point.
07.17.1: Kagiso Rabada to Heinrich Klaasen, Rabada bashes the back of a length, on off. Klaasen hops to ride the bounce and plays it back to KG.
46.66.6: Jason Holder to Salil Arora, FOUR! Just a push and it fetches Salil Arora a boundary. Shubman Gill should have done better there, though. Holder goes full now, on off, Salil gets half-forward and plays a punchy drive between cover and mid off. Gill turns around and goes after it. He bends to flick the ball away from the fence but fails to do so and the ball goes into the ropes.
6 Over | Run: 43/4 | Run Rate: 6.14

46.46.4: Jason Holder to Salil Arora, FOUR! Too straight and put away! Fuller in length, sliding onto the pads. Salil Arora plays the pick-up shot off the pads and it goes aerially behind square leg.

06.36.3: Jason Holder to Salil Arora, Keeps it at that in-between length, on off. Arora knocks it off the back foot. Washington Sundar moves to his right and cuts it off.

25.65.6: Kagiso Rabada to Salil Arora, Arora is underway with a couple. Honing in on the off stump, on a back of a length. Salil punches it on the up towards cover-point, where the fielder dives to his left and gets a hand on it. It trickles behind before the point fielder tidies up. After 6 overs, SRH are 34/4.
6 Over | Run: 34/4 | Run Rate: 5.67
05.55.5: Kagiso Rabada to Ravichandran Smaran, OUT! CAUGHT! Ravichandran Smaran has been put out of his misery. Mohammed Siraj will be a relieved man. A wobble seam ball at 148.4 kph, on a good length, on off. Smaran gets his hands through the ball and gets hold of it but neither does he get the elevation nor does he manage to find the gap. Shubman Gill makes no mistake at mid off as he snaffles it at waist height. SRH are 32/4, chasing 169.
15.45.4: Kagiso Rabada to Heinrich Klaasen, Jagging back in on a nagging length at 148.9 kph, on the off stump. Klaasen looks to punch it away but ekes out an inside edge wide of mid-wicket for a run.
15.35.3: Kagiso Rabada to Ravichandran Smaran, Chance goes down! Mohammed Siraj did not pick that up at all. Rabada serves a well-directed bumper, around the right shoulder. Ravichandran Smaran gets his hands high and plays the pull. Hits it flat and straight to deep backward square leg, where Siraj does not pick the ball up and hangs back. Puts in a late dive but the ball dips under his hand and a chance goes begging. They cross.
05.25.2: Kagiso Rabada to Ravichandran Smaran, Hits the back of a length, over middle. Smaran hangs back and rides the bounce to stab it down on the off side.
05.15.1: Kagiso Rabada to Ravichandran Smaran, A peach from KG! At 142.7 kph, on a good length, landing just outside the line of the leg stump. Smaran pushes out in front of his body. The ball nips away to go past the outside edge and bounces over the sticks.
14.64.6: Mohammed Siraj to Ravichandran Smaran, Not a second maiden for Siraj, but still, just one run off it. Back of a length, in the channel and angled away down to deep third for a single. SRH are 30/3 after 5 overs.
6 Over | Run: 30/3 | Run Rate: 6.00

03.13.1: Kagiso Rabada to Ishan Kishan, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Kagiso Rabada makes up for the dropped catch, and SRH are in big trouble now, at 23/3. KG holds a length and pushes the ball across the left-hander, into that corridor of uncertainty. Ishan Kishan leaves his bat dangling outside the line of off stump, and the ball just curves back in a touch, taking the outside edge on its way to the keeper. Jos Buttler pouches it safely, and up goes the umpire's finger.
12.62.6: Mohammed Siraj to Ishan Kishan, Fuller and angled well across the left-hander, Kishan guides it down to Nishant Sindhu at wide third man and picks up a single.

01.41.4: Kagiso Rabada to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! TIMBER! Smart bowling from Kagiso Rabada, and he is delighted. KG sees Abhishek Sharma give him the charge and drags the length back, bowling it at the batter. Sharma gets cramped for room and tries to just play at it, but gets an inside edge that goes off the body and trickles back onto the stumps.

61.11.1: Kagiso Rabada to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! Everything that's happened in the first 6 balls hasn't fazed Abhishek Sharma one bit, it seems. Pitched-up delivery, just outside off. Sharma stays put and collapses the front knee, nailing the lofted shot over long off for a biggie. SRH are off the mark as well now.
00.60.6: Mohammed Siraj to Ishan Kishan, A wicket maiden to begin! Siraj hits the length hard and bowls it around the top of off and middle, angling it away. Ishan Kishan presses back to defend. What a start from Siraj.
6 Over | Run: 0/1 | Run Rate: 0.00
00.50.5: Mohammed Siraj to Ishan Kishan, Just drags the length back a bit and bowls it outside off, Kishan confidently taps it down to covers.
00.40.4: Mohammed Siraj to Travis Head, OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammed Siraj draws first blood for GT and Travis Head departs for a four-ball duck in his 50th IPL game. The length is the same again from Siraj but this is bowled outside the line of the leg stump. Head has a tentative attempt at the flick but closes the bat face early and the leading edge is found. The ball flies down to deep backward point where Nishant Sindhu gobbles up the catch and SRH are 0/1.
00.30.3: Mohammed Siraj to Travis Head, Oh, that hasn't missed the stumps by much. The length is immaculate again from Siraj, lands it on middle and swings it back in this time. Head is taken by surprise and gets beaten as the ball goes past the inside edge and just over the top of the stumps.
