Number game from SRH vs GT match.
Earlier, Gujarat bowlers justified Skipper Gill’s decision to bowl as they fired together. Sirj broke the SRH’s back by accounting for the heads of the openers inside the powerplay and for Abhishek Sharma, while R Sai Kishore (2/24) and fame Krishna (2/24) strangled the batsmen in the middle.
Siraj rejected the first head in the first place and then got rid of Abhishek (18; 16B, 4×4) in the fifth over as the host struggled at 45/2 in the powerplay. Prasad Krishna then calculated Ishaan Kishan (17; 14B, 2×4) to push the hosts back.
With Rashid Khan and Prasad bowling tight lines, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klassen could not make a single limit for six overs from five to 10 overs.
Sai Kishore added 50 runs for the fourth wicket before rubbing his stumps. Sai Kishore also ended Nitish’s 31 (34B, 3×4) conflict in his next over. Cummins’ 9-Ball 22* (3×4, 1×6) failed to stop Titans.
