OUT! Cummins bowls short, Sudharsan pulls but finds the fielder at deep midwicket. Vijay Shankar comes in. He drives a low full toss to point for a single. Cummins goes short again, Shankar pulls for a single at deep fine-leg. Miller hits a four to deep square-leg off a short delivery. Another four as Miller slaps a wide, slow delivery to the boundary past the fielder at cover.
Cummins bowls his first over, coming around the wicket to Sudharsan. He starts with a slower one, cut away for a single. Then, a back-of-a-length delivery tucked away by Miller for another single at fine-leg. Sudharsan pushes off the front foot for another single. Cummins delivers a slower one outside off, guided to deep third by Miller for a single again. Just five singles from the over.
Mayank Markande is brought on. Still no sight of Cummins. Driven to deep extra cover for a couple by Gill. One more for Gill at long-on. Three singles and a double from the over as both batters aren’t really looking to take too many risks against spin.
Shahbaz Ahmad comes in to bowl from the other end for SRH, introducing spin early. Saha flicks one for a single, while Gill pushes one through mid-off. Saha hits the first maximum over long-on. Gill and Saha collect singles, with Saha ending the over with one through cover.
GT is confident to chase this target. Saha and Gill open the innings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar starts the bowling. Saha gets off the mark with a single, while Gill collects a couple. Gill plays patiently, scoring a boundary elegantly through cover.
Mohit starts with an off cutter, Shabhaz misses. Then, another wide off cutter, resulting in Shabhaz's dismissal caught by Tewatia. Next, Mohit gets another wicket with a slow ball, caught by Rashid Khan. Only three runs conceded in the last over.
Nalkande with the penultimate over. Short ball from the right arm pacer and Samad only manages an top edge to it. A diving Umesh Yadav fails to hold on to the catch. Slow ball into the body now. Shabhaz anticipates it and lofts it over mid wicket for an 85-metre six.
Noor Ahmed bowls full and straight to Klaasen, who manages to hit one over midwicket for a six, despite not connecting perfectly. Another full delivery from Noor, and Klaasen smashes it further for another six. Only a single from the rest of the over.
Noor Ahmed's first over in the IPL season starts with a full and straight delivery. Head manages just a single. Abhishek faces the next ball but fails to get back on strike. Noor goes straight and Head fails to get to the strike with his leg-side swing. Bowled!!
In the second over by Umesh Yadav, the first ball on the pads for a single by Mayanak, followed by Head also taking a single. Mayank clips the next delivery for three runs, saved from a boundary by a diving Nalkande. Then, Umesh delivers a length ball, and Head hits it straight back for his third boundary.
Omarzai starts with one aimed at the off stump. Mayank Agarwal defends it on the front foot. Next, Omarzai delivers a full ball, and Mayank drives it for a single. Then, a short and wide delivery from Omarzai, and Travis Head hits it through covers for a four. Another delivery on the pads, and Head flicks it off for another boundary.
