Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Rajasthan Royals by just one run
Sunrisers Hyderabad snatched victory from the jaws of Rajasthan Royals on Thursday, winning by just one run. At the brink of defeat, SRH secured the victory on the very last ball, handing the table-toppers their second defeat in the tournament.
The victory came on the last ball of the match, when Bhuvneshwar Kumar trapped Rovman Powell in front of the stumps, denying the Royals the one run needed to draw the match.
Earlier, skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat against Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Hyderabad on Thursday.
The Hyderabad team posted a formidable score of 201, thanks to Travis Head's 58, Nitish Kumar Reddy's unbeaten 76, and Heinrich Klaasen's unbeaten 42.
The RR team got off to a bad start with Jos Buttler falling for a duck. Sanju Samson also couldn't open his account. However, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's 67 off 40 balls and Riyan Parag's 77 off 49 balls brought the Royals very close to the target. Rovman Powell's 27 off 15 balls almost ensured another victory for the Royals.
