Clears the wide long-off fence and the game with another lofted drive! It was on a similar line and length and Markram was ready with a high backlift and the front leg out the way
PBKS vs SRH, 28th Match at Navi Mumbai, IPL, Apr 17 2022 - Match Result
SRH won by 7 wickets (with 7 balls remaining)
In case you haven't already, head over to the CSK vs GT game which is about to start where the Chennai Super Kings have been sent in to bat. Thanks for tuning in. It's goodbye for now from me, Ekanth, my fellow commentator, Vishal Dikshit, and our scorer, Chandan Duorah.
Umran Malik is the Player of the Match for his figures of 4-1-28-4. He took two catches as well.
Nick: "At 18.5 overs PK were 151/5, SRH were 152/3. That epic last over from Umran proved to be the key to the win"
Bhuvneshwar Kumar in his interview with the host broadcaster: There was no swing so I looked hit back of a length. That was my plan against Shikhar as I knew he would step out and look for the boundary. I looked to hit a hard length and find the top edge and luckily that's what happened, I looked to play with my field as well. I try to bowl to the batter's weakness or to the ground's dimensions. The wicket and my skills are what I look at. (On Umran) More than helping me, it means I am a target as batters think I'm slower (Laughs). But watching him bowl fast and get wickets is a joy. Hope the others going after me leads to wickets and not boundaries (smiles).
Shikhar Dhawan, Punjab Kings Captain: Mayank is better and he should be ready to be back. We were 30-40 runs short and lost too many early wickets which put us behind the game. The early wickets meant we had to hold wickets and that's where we had to mould our game. There was a middle order recovery but the early wickets cost us. The wicket had extra-bounce to which we were late to adjust. The discussion with the batting will be to save wickets till the 13th-14th over, the bowlers are doing well. We need to put up complete performances and hopefully a 3-4 game turnaround which can change a season will come in.
Temba : "Other bowlers who did equally or worse than Smith got more overs, his form hasn't been great but captaincy/management is gonna make his confidence even worse"
Chris: "Markram averages 190 in this IPL! :)" Yes.
Monoj: "Such a meditative end, the two of them taking off their helmets and taking a moment by themselves, it was beautiful, loved it!!"
7:10 pm: Sunrisers Hyderabad enter the top-4 in the Points Table thanks to their fourth win. Their chase was smooth and well-managed by Markram and Pooran in the end. That was on the back of Rahul and Abhishek getting starts. The bowlers did not have enough runs to defend, Chahar did well and the others could not chip in with wickets, which meant that the chase could not be stalled and the Sunrisers could get their fourth win on the trot.
The boundary ball is created by Markram by making room by taking his front leg out and crashing a hard cover-drive of a full ball around sixth stump
Full on off, gets the front foot out the way and drills a drive to long-off along the turf
Follows Markram who made ample room with a full toss that tucks him, the ball is whacked along the ground to deep mid-wicket along the ground
Length ball on the hips, beaten on the pull and it goes to third man after taking the thigh-pad of the back leg. He walked across and was outside off too
Over the wicket
13 needed of 12. With 7 wickets in hand, this should be all but done if there is no miracle.
Bala: "Neck to neck run rate but Kings are not taking wickets."
Full on middle, flicked to deep mid-wicket
Squeezes a wide yorker behind point with precision. The bat-face opened at the right time to manufacture a shot to a well-executed ball around sixth stump
Marginal over-head wide not given as Pooran crouches and lets it go.
Yorker on off, squeezed to deep square-leg. The lack of timing helped them get back, the call for two came in early and the running was quick. Chahar's chase was not quick enough, so he had to throw it direct at the non-striker's end which he couldn't.
Length outside off, slapped to the bowler on the bounce, who parries it in front with his palms. Looks okay
Over for the left-hander which might be a pattern
Almost a yorker on off at 134 kmph, the batter makes room and lets his hand drive through to long-off along the ground
Around the wicket
Sandeep J : "@Nani your worry is legitimate but this is new middle order, u still have firepower after these 2.. not like in previous editions.."
Good length on off, defends it towards point. Hits it too well for the single to be on but Punjab will take a ten run over with both their hands.
Drags a length ball outside off to long-on with a pull into the ground
Brings up the fifty partnership with a swat through cover of a slow length ball outside off
Punjab are ticking the scoreboard smartly, this time with a well-placed slash on the move off a good length ball outside off to the right of deep cover. They push the fielder for the second and make it easily to Rabada's frustration
Good length just outside off, tapped towards point gently enough to make time for a single
Good length ball is driven on the up to mid-off's left on the bounce, Dhawan there gets his hands on it but it goes further down and it allows time for the second run
Rabada starts his last over from over the wicket
Time-out! Sans an unlikely turnaround, this should be an easy win for the Sunrisers. Also, the toss for the GT vs CSK game is starting soon. Head over there for updates.
Nani: "I am slightly worried about SRH'S chase now considering their history in chases."
Hamza: "Livingstone faced 6 balls in the last 30 balls he was at the crease. Might be the difference between winning and losing. Oh and umran's last over as well. "
Wide half-volley is creamed aerially over cover with a horizontal bat in the gap to the fence to release the pressure built through the over
Around the wicket
Yorker on middle again, this at 131 kmph. It hit the bat low and the flick went to long-on
Short ball outside off goes over the batter's head, left alone after shaping up for an upper-swat
