X Bartlett|4|0|42|1
| 1 | 19.6 | 19.6: Xavier Bartlett to Harsh Dubey, Another cheeky shot but for just one run. Take a bow, Xavier Bartlett. Just 5 runs and a wicket off the final over as Sunrisers Hyderabad finish with 219/6 on the board. Full ball on leg stump from Bartlett, Dubey gets inside the line and laps it towards fine leg for a single. |
6 Over | Run: 219/6 | Run Rate: 10.95
| 0 | 19.5 | 19.5: Xavier Bartlett to Harsh Dubey, This is sensational death bowling from Bartlett. Another yorker, angled just across off, Harsh Dubey sits down and looks to sweep the pacer but gets beaten. |
| 0 | 19.4 | 19.4: Xavier Bartlett to Heinrich Klaasen, OUT! CAUGHT! Looked like a good shot but Heinrich Klaasen holes out in the deep and lobs his bat up in the air in frustration. Xavier Bartlett nails the yorker on leg stump. Klaasen stays put and clears the front leg, flicking it high towards deep mid-wicket. Cooper Connolly sets himself just inside the boundary ropes and takes a solid catch as SRH continue to misfire at the death. |
| 0 | 19.3 | 19.3: Xavier Bartlett to Heinrich Klaasen, Oh, did Klaasen get any bat on it? There is a loud appeal for a caught behind but the umpire shakes his head. The keeper, Prabhsimran Singh feels the ball came right off the bat and Shreyas Iyer does review it. Coming to the shot, it is a cheeky one as Heinrich Klaasen tries to just stay put and reverse scoop a full ball outside the line of off stump. The third umpire checks UltraEdge and finds that there is no bat involved but then checks for LBW as well. The impact is clearly outside off. It stays NOT OUT and PBKS lose both their reviews in a hurry. |
| 2 | 19.2 | 19.2: Xavier Bartlett to Heinrich Klaasen, Gets the yorker right again, on middle, tailing in a bit. Heinrich Klaasen digs it out through mid-wicket for a couple of more runs. |

| 0 | 18.6 | 18.6: Arshdeep Singh to Nitish Kumar Reddy, NOT OUT! Full and around leg stump, Nitish Kumar Reddy goes down and tries to sweep it away but misses. The ball hits the boot and rolls towards short fine leg for a dot ball. There is a huge appeal for LBW but the umpire is unmoved. PBKS do send it upstairs to have a look. Nothing on UltraEdge but Ball Tracking shows that the ball pitched outside the line of leg stump and the on-field decision stands. |
6 Over | Run: 214/5 | Run Rate: 11.26
| 0 | 18.5 | 18.5: Arshdeep Singh to Salil Arora, OUT! CAUGHT! Arshdeep Singh gets his second wicket. Singh goes full and straight but takes some pace off the delivery. Salil Arora stays deep in the crease, makes room and looks to heave it straight back. However, he only gets the height, not the distance. The fielders from long off and long on converge and it is Xavier Bartlett from the latter position who takes the skier without a fuss. |
| 1 | 18.4 | 18.4: Arshdeep Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, Another change in angle from Arshdeep, this is a slower one, bowled on a hard length and around off. Klaasen looks to cut but nearly gets chopped on as the ball goes past the leg stump for a single. |
| 1 | 18.3 | 18.3: Arshdeep Singh to Salil Arora, Arshdeep is back around the wicket, goes full and straight now, Arora clips it away past square leg for a single. |

| 6 | 17.7 | 17.6: Marco Jansen to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! Spoils the over for Jansen. Full, honing in on the pads, Klaasen stays still, gets his head down and just wrists it away, over deep mid-wicket for a six. |
7 Over | Run: 206/4 | Run Rate: 11.44
| 0 | 17.6 | 17.5: Marco Jansen to Heinrich Klaasen, Back to over the wicket, dug in short and over middle, slower too. Heinrich Klaasen shuffles a bit to the off side and tries to scoop it over the keeper but fails to do so. |
| 1 | 17.5 | 17.4: Marco Jansen to Salil Arora, Jansen goes around the wicket, bowling it full and wide, Arora lofts it down to deep cover for a single. 200 UP FOR SRH! |
| 0 | 17.4 | 17.3: Marco Jansen to Salil Arora, Another golden dot ball, top delivery from Jansen. Wide yorker, nailed to perfection. Arora backs away to slice it away but fails to do so. Half a shout from the keeper as well for a caught behind, but the umpire dismisses it. |

| 1 | 16.4 | 16.4: Yuzvendra Chahal to Aniket Verma, OUT! ANIKET VERMA IS RUN OUT! Chahal goes full and drifts it into the pads. Aniket Verma goes on one knee to sweep but miscues the shot. The ball ends up going in front of square leg. The batters run the first one hard and set off for the second but Verma hesitates a touch and says no, but Klaasen commits. That slight hesitation is enough to cause the downfall as Marcus Stoinis picks up the ball and throws it to the keeper, Prabhsimran Singh and the bails are dislodged with Verma nowhere in the picture. |
| 4 | 16.3 | 16.3: Yuzvendra Chahal to Aniket Verma, FOUR! Excellent placement. Full and wide outside off, Verma moves to the off side, and slams it back over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 2 | 16.2 | 16.2: Yuzvendra Chahal to Aniket Verma, Good length, Verma rocks back and flicks it between long on and deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. |
| 6 | 16.1 | 16.1: Yuzvendra Chahal to Aniket Verma, SIX! Not quite where Verma intended that to go, but he gets the maximum nonetheless. Floated up, slower and drifted into leg. Aniket Verma goes down on one knee for the slog sweep but ends up hitting it over cow corner for a biggie. |
| 1 | 15.6 | 15.6: Xavier Bartlett to Aniket Verma, And, he closes it out superbly as well. Full toss on middle, Aniket Verma fails to quite get under it and pumps the ball down to long on for a sixth straight single in the over. |
6 Over | Run: 182/3 | Run Rate: 11.38
| 1 | 15.5 | 15.5: Xavier Bartlett to Heinrich Klaasen, A brilliant comeback over from Bartlett thus far. Back of a length, over off and middle, swung away aerially over mid-wicket for a single by Klaasen. |
| 1 | 15.4 | 15.4: Xavier Bartlett to Aniket Verma, A bit short and wide outside off, Verma has the chance to free his arms but cuts it straight to deep point for another single. |

| 0 | 13.6 | 13.6: Arshdeep Singh to Ishan Kishan, OUT! TAKEN! That is an absolute stunner from Marco Jansen, and Arshdeep gets his first wicket of the season. He serves this fuller, angling into the pads. Ishan Kishan brings his wrists into play and whips it away over mid-wicket. He and everyone present at the ground think it is six for all money. However, Jansen has other ideas. He runs to his right and just sticks out his right hand to pouch it nonchalantly. Made it look easy. Marcus Stoinis, who was at long on, breaks into a laugh, Marco Jansen wears that 'did that really stick?' smile. Arshdeep Singh sinks to his haunches in disbelief, while Ishan Kishan heads back, still trying to piece it all together. SRH are 169/3 now. |

| 1 | 13.1 | 13.1: Arshdeep Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, DROPPED! That could prove to be very costly! Arshdeep Singh serves this fuller and on off, angling away. Heinrich Klaasen looks to loft it down the ground but ends up slicing across the ball. It flies towards long off, where Marcus Stoinis just hesitates a bit to run forward. He has to put in a dive in the end but fails to get a good grasp at it. A single taken. |
| 4 | 12.6 | 12.6: Vijaykumar Vyshak to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Spoils the over a bit! Fuller delivery and outside off. Ishan Kishan accepts the width on offer, extends his arms and carves it over cover-point for a boundary. |

NO BALL called. Free Hit to follow. |

| 6 | 4.3 | 4.3: Vijaykumar Vyshak to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! It's raining sixes here! Pitched up and just around off, takes pace off. It does not matter to Abhishek Sharma, who just waits for it before launching it over the long off fence for half a dozen more. |
