Fazalhaq Farooqi to bowl the last over of the match with just four needed of it. Farooqi to Pooran middles the ball, and hits over mid-on with enough power to clear the fence, but Phillips dives and shows his full commitment to save two runs. Two runs are required from five now. Farooqi to Pooran, FOUR! Down the line, flicks it away as the ball races away to the boundary line as Lucknow finishes the chase off in some style. A seven-wicket win for LSG.

Natarajan comes to bowl the penultimate over of the innings. Natarajan hits the block-hole as he starts with a dot ball. He keeps the line cramped to give just three runs from the next three balls. Natarajan to Pooran, SIX! Pooran makes sure LSG doesn’t have to wait for the win as he sends the ball over the fence for another maximum. His third six of the innings, 95m. A single from the last ball as LSG needs just four from the last over.

Fortune favours the brave as Mankad gets a boundary with an edge. 14 off the over as LSG needs just 24 runs from the last three overs.

Abhishek Sharma comes back into the attack, a risky option chosen by the captain to bring an inexperienced part-timer in the slog overs. Sharma to Stoinis, SIX! Bring it on says Stonis as he hits a massive six over bowler’s head. A 100m six for Stoinis. Sharma under pressure, bowls a wide. Sharma to Stoinis, SIX! What an over this is turning out to be for Lucknow. Sharma to Stoinis, OUT! And the gamble seemed to have worked for SRH. Stoinis fails to clear the fence and gives his catch to Abdul Samad.

Stoinis gives the strike back to Mankad with a single off the next ball. Markande to Mankad, FOUR! Dragged off the back foot and clears the deep mid-wicket region.

Farooqi back into the attack. He starts with a wide. Farooqi to Mankad, FOUR! Uses the angle of the ball to clear the covers with an inside-out shot off the back foot. Maybe too little too late for the visiting team as the req. RR is jumping beyond their reach. Farooqi to Stoinis, FOUR! Cuts and cuts late to find the gap between the gully and slips as the ball runs away towards the third-man region. 14 came from the over. 92 needed in 42.

Abhishek continues. Stoinis looks to make room, but Abhishek follows him and bowls a wide yorker with a last-minute manoeuvre. Stoinis is not able to clear the field at the moment, Abhishek has done exceptionally well to give just four off the over. The required run rate has jumped close to 14.

Markram brings Natarajan back into the attack. Natarajan starts with a bouncer to surprise Stoinis. SRH is tightening their grip on the game with each ball. Natarajan is using the sluggish pitch brilliantly as he gives only three runs from the over.

In the slot and de Kock times it perfectly to slog-sweep the ball over cow-corner, Rahul Tripathi misjudged to keep the ball in as LSG gets the first maximum of the innings. Markande to de Kock, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for de Kock as this time he clears the fine-leg region with another sweep. 14 off the over.

Farooqi bowls the last over of the PowerPlay. Farooqi to Mandkad, FOUR! He waits and placed the ball between covers and extra covers for another boundary. Farooqi to Mankad, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Mankad but Phillips stole the show in this ball with his athletic attempt to save the boundary.

The second change in the bowling as Natarajan comes in for Bhuveshwar Kumar. A single on the second delivery as de Kock gives Prerak the strike.

A change from Markram as he brings Glenn Phillips comes into the attack for Fazalhaq Farooqi. Phillips to Mayers, OUT! The misery ends for the West Indian as he gets out after playing 14 deliveries. Myaers tried to clear the mid-on fielder but a mistimed shot straight went to the captain Markram. Prerak Mankad walks out at number three. Phillips to Mankad , FOUR! Beautiful shot by the new man in. He gets off the mark with a boundary as he cashed in on the fuller-length ball and drives over covers for a boundary.

Mayers c Markram b Glenn Phillips 2 (14)

Kumar continues from the other end. de Kock takes a single after playing a dot ball. Mayers finally gets off the mark on the 11th delivery with a single. Probably the slowest to open an account in IPL. Kumar to de Kock, FOUR! First boundary of this innings. A short ball and de Kock gets room to open his arms as he dispatched the ball over covers for a boundary. Eight from the over.

Fazalhaq Farooqi comes from the other end. Farooqi to de Kock and he gets a single from the first ball. Farooqi fails to control the line and the ball went down the leg for a wide.

Vivrant Sharma has replaced Anmolpreet Singh as an impact sub for Hyderabad.

All-round batting performance from Sunrisers. Almost all of their batters pitched in. But this might turn out to be 10-15 runs short, considering the nature of this pitch. Over to LSG batters now.

Last over of the innings and it is the impressive Yash Thakur with the ball. He starts with three dot balls. Fourth ball, Yash goes back of length with a slow ball and Samad launches it over long on for a six. Yash responds with a dipping yorker. Samad can get it away for a single. Bhuvi manages a double last ball and that gets SRH to 182 after 20 overs.

Avesh with the penultimate. He gifts Samad a full toss which goes flying back over the bowler’s head for six. Samad is continuing his golden touch. Another full toss and it appears to be waist high. SRH appeals, but the third umpire doesn’t reverse the decision. Bouncers from Avesh and Klaasen manages a top edge and it is a four.

The game grinds to a halt after complaints from LSG dugout about the crowd behind them. Game restarts and Avesh bowls another full toss. But this time, Klaasen can’t clear long on.

Yash Thakur with the 18th. Klaasen tries to go for a big shot straight down. Just a single there. Couple of dot balls as he holds off Samad and Klaasen. Last ball and Yash goes for a short ball. Top edge from Samad and flies narrowly wide of the short third. Lucky boundary.

Yash Thakur with the 14th over. Length ball and Samad advances and crashes it over long off for a authoritative six. 11 runs from that over as SRH looks to rebuild.

Krunal brings himself back. Floats one in on leg stump. It pitches on good length and spins wildly away from Markram, who has lost his balance. De Kock has an easy stumping to complete.

Glen Phillips is the new batter. Krunal offers an identical ball and the result is slightly different. This time it spins into the off stump. Magical stuff from the LSG skipper.

Klaasen wades into Bishnoi. Two short ball, one smoked away for a six and the other slapped for a four. Both to leg side. Bishnoi corrects the length. Just four runs of the rest of the over.

Mishra continues. Markram sneaks in a double to start the over. Dot ball to follow. Couple of singles next up. Fifth ball, Markram takes a couple with a tap to deep mid wicket. Mishra closes out the over with a dot ball.

Ravi Bishnoi gets his first over. Klaasen and Markram at the crease for SRH. Four singles from the first four balls. Fifth ball and it is slightly full. Markram flays at it and there is no stopping it. FOUR MORE!!

Amit Mishra continues. Too full from the leggie and Markram needs no second invitation. Thumped over long on for the first six of the game. But you can’t keep Mishra away for long. Anmolpreet advances and Mishra holds it back and the batter can only tap it back for an easy return catch. Third wicket down for LSG.

Yudhvir brought back in. Anmolpreet and Markram trade singles to start the over. The SRH skipper gets an overpitched one and slams it for a four straight back. Anmolpreet to gets a full one and he puts it away to the extra cover fence for a boundary.

Time for some leg spin. Amit Mishra goes a tad short and Anmolpreet slices it past point for a four. But Mishra holds things down with a couple of dot balls. Just two more singles from the over.

Yash Thakur with the last PowerPlay over. Just a single from the first three balls. Yash attacks Tripathi with a bouncer and it is edged and de Kock takes a brilliant catch. Huge wicket for LSG. Markram is the new batter for SRH. This over has brought LSG back into the game.

Avesh Khan introduced and he starts with a freebie. Full on the off side and Tripathi creams it through off side for another four. Next ball, Tripathi pre meditates a scoop on leg side and Avesh readjusts his line by going waaaay down the off side. Tripathi readjusts and flicks it to third man fence for another four. Anmolpreet continues to attack. Guides a length ball behind point for a four. SRH MAXIMISING THE POWERPLAY

Krunal with his first over. Drifts down leg and Tripathi sweeps it away for a four. Couple of singles. Krunal goes short and Tripathi thrashes it deep mid on. Another FOUR FOR SRH.

Yudhvir with a sharp bouncer against Abhishek. LSG players appeals vehemently, but the umpire doesn’t relent. LSG reviews and they get their man. Abhishek has to walk back. Rahul Tripathi too gets a welcome bouncer and it goes off his helmet.

Yudhvir continues with the short ball ploy and Rahul almost guides it to Avesh a third man. Anmolpreet continues his aggessive approach. Steps out to leg side to crash it over covers for another four.

Mayers with the new ball. Pitches it up outside the off and Anmolpreet caresses it past mid off for an elegant four. Single brings in Abhishek on strike. Wide and short on the off and Abhsihek slashes it over covers for another four. And Mayers gifts them a freehit last ball. Escapes with a wide yorker. Nevertheless it is a STRONG START FROM SRH!!

Anmolpreet and Abhsihek opening the innings for SRH. Yudhvir with the ffirst over for LSG. Anmolpreet gets going with a driven four through covers. Great timing. Yudhvir goes down the leg side against Abhsihek. Wide.
