Sunrisers Hyderabad recorded the lowest score in an Indian Premier League final during its IPL 2024 title match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.

SRH ended its innings on 113 after 20 overs. The previous low was 125 for nine by Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians during the 2013 final.

In the first innings of an IPL final, Mumbai Indians’ 129 for eight against Rising Pune Supergiant is the lowest. This remains the lowest score defended in an IPL final.

The much-feared opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head was removed inside the first two overs, meaning the SRH batting failed to get going. Heinrich Klaasen, Rahul Tripathi and Nitish Kumar Reddy got start but could not steer the innings to safety.

Andre Russell was the pick of the bowlers with figures of three for 19 while Harshit Rana and Mitchell Starc picked two wickets each.
