Match Details
Kane Williamson struggled a bit early on as batting was quite difficult on the surface. However Abhishek Sharma never looked in trouble and played some delightful shots. SRH stuck with him at the top of the order and he finally repaid the faith shown by the team management. An opening partnership of 89 runs laid the foundation for the run-chase. Williamson was dismissed by Mukesh Chaudhary but the foundation was laid.
Rahul Tripathi came out as if he was batting for hours and smoked a six in his second ball and what followed next was carnage. Tripathi took the onus on himself to find the boundaries and played some delightful shots during his unbeaten knock of 39 of 15 deliveries which included 5 fours and a couple of sixes. Abhishek Sharma was eventually dismissed on 75 but by then the match was done and dusted. Tripathi struck the winnings runs in the 18th over to take SRH over the line.
