The combined outstanding attack from both batting and bowling departments led Gujarat Titans to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad with a 38-run margin.

The opening batting performance of Gujarat Titans resulted in 224 runs supported by six wickets during their 20-over innings. The hybrid also managed to reach 186 six-wicket score during their 20-over innings.

Sunrisers Hyderabad failed to secure victory even after Abhishek Sharma hit 74 runs from 41 deliveries with four boundaries and six aerial boundaries. Both Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna collected two wickets during Gujarat’s match while Ishant Sharma together with Gerald Coetzee obtained one wicket each.

Prasidh terminated the opening stand when he sent Head back to the pavilion after the batsman scored 20. The batsman Ishan Kishan returned to the pavilion following his 13 runs contribution to the inning. Abhishek paired up with Klaasen to form a suitable middle-order stand during which Abhishek achieved his half-century. Ishant Sharma ended the partnership when he dismissed Abhishek at bat.
