Highlights, Tata IPL 2022, SRH vs RR, Full Cricket Score: Rajasthan beat Hyderabad by 61 runs

FIFTY!

Aiden Markram brings up his 50 from 39 balls but it hasn’t been effective enough to change the outcome of the game or even bring it close

GONE!

Sundar looks to continue the big hitting and six getting but finds Hetmyer at long on this time. Brilliant cameo from Sundar to salvage some respect for the SRH and avoid a dreadful NRR from the word go. He goes for 40 and SRH are 133/7

After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 119/6 ( Aiden Markram 44 , Washington Sundar 29)

24 runs and 14 runs from the last two overs and SRH gaining some respectibility with the target well out of sight. Markram on 44 from 36 balls and Sundar on 29 from 10 balls

GONE!

Chahal strikes and that is his 250th T20 wicket. Shepherd walks across, looks to sweep and misses to be bowled. Quicker ball from Chahal there and Shepherd misses the line completely

Shepherd b Chahal 24 (18), SRH 78/6

SIX! SIX!

Back-to-back sixes for SRH now and it comes from Shepherd’s bat. First six of the innings is followed by a second as Coulter-Nile is taken apart. Near replicas both sixes – pulled on both and clearing the boundary line on both

GONE!

Abdul Samad comes down the track to Chahal, looks to heave and Parag at deep mid-wicket completes the easy catch. Five down and the nightmare continues for SRH

Samad c Parag b Chahal 4 (6), SRH are 37/5

After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 32/4 ( Aiden Markram 13 , Abdul Samad 2)

Abhishek Sharma joins Williamson, Tripathi and Pooran in the dugout. Chahal gets his first wicket in the very first over. Just 9 from Sharma and SRH are 32/4 from 9 overs

GONE!

Yuzvendra Chahal strikes in the very first over. Abhishek Sharma tries to up the ante but doesn’t clear the field as he would have liked. Gets too close to the ball, miscues the loft and finds Hetmyer at long-on

Abhishek Sharma c Hetmyer b Chahal 9 (19), SRH 29/4

After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 14/3 ( Abhishek Sharma 3 , Aiden Markram 4)

At the powerplay mark, SRH are 14/3 and have failed miserably to make the field restrictions count. Williamson, Tripathi and Pooran all are back in the dugout. Markram and Abhishek in the middle

GONE!

Nicholas Pooran is gone for a duck! Plumb! Trent Boult looked close to getting a wicket and he finally gets one. Full, angled in, Pooran misses the flick and is caught leg before. Discusses with his partner Abhishek Sharma and decides against reviewing. Wise decision that but this is going dreadfully for the Sunrisers Hyderabad

Pooran lbw Boult 0 (9)

After 4 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 7/2 ( Abhishek Sharma 1 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 0)

Horrendous start for SRH. Kane Williamson and Rahul Tripathi back in the dugout. Runs not flowing for the Hyderabad batters with Prasidh Krishna picking two wickets in two overs. The second over bringing out six dots for a maiden

GONE!

Prasidh Krishna gets his second wicket and that’s poor batting from Rahul Tripathi. Short of length, outside off, the ball moves away slightly and Tripathi is beaten for pace and bounce. Samson with the simple take behind

Tripathi 0 (3)

GONE!

Is that gone? Kane Williamson edges it behind. There’s no question about that. Dropped by Sanju Samson, Padikkal latches on at first slip. But is that taken on the bounce? Umpires convene and send it upstairs. Third man decides it is taken cleanly. Commentator, however, thinks there’s a bounce on it. Prasidh Krishna strikes!

Williamson c Padikkal b Krishna 2 (7)

SRH chase begins

Williamson, Abhishek Sharma open the innings for SRH. Trent Boult with the ball. GO!

After 20 overs,Rajasthan Royals 210/6 ( Nathan Coulter-Nile 1)

Rajasthan Royals finish on 210/6 from 20 overs. 7 runs from the final over. T Natarajan closes with 2/43. Samson (55), Padikkal (41), Buttler (35) and Hetmyer (33) among the runs

BOWLED!

Full from T Natarajan and the slog doesn’t come out this time from Hetmyer. The ball dips in late and takes the leg stump.

Hetmyer b Natarajan 32 (13)

BELTING THE BALL!

batting is a violent activity these days #SRHvsRR #IPL2022

After 18 overs,Rajasthan Royals 188/4 ( Shimron Hetmyer 15 , Riyan Parag 10)

Rajasthan on course for a 210-ish score. Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag both hitting the ball well and the bowlers have very little purchase from the surface

SRH review

Bhuvi beats Riyan Parag and the SRH bowler is convinced there’s something on that. A second review for SRH in this over and there’s nothing on it. No bat, no pad and it is going over the stumps. SRH lose both their reviews

STAT ALERT

Sanju Samson in the first innings of an IPL season

2020: 74 (32) vs CSK
2021: 119 (63) vs PBKS
2022: 55 (27) vs SRH

GONE!

Sanju Samson departs with Bhuvneshwar Kumar getting his first wicket of the season! Samad takes a smart catch after running across from long-on. Samson has little room on a back of length delivery, looks for the boundary but unable to clear the boundary

Samson c Samad b Bhuvi 55 (28)

SIX, FIFTY FOR SAMSON

Sanju Samson brings up his fifty from 25 balls. Talk about playing a captain’s knock. Darted in flat and short by Sundar and it is dispatched with disdain. Pulled over mid-wicket for a six. Samson doesn’t even bother checking the outcome, he raises his bat to acknowledge the applause.

After 15 overs,Rajasthan Royals 148/3 ( Sanju Samson (C) (W) 42 , )

Umran Malik ends his quota of overs with a wicket of Devdutt Padikkal. The leftie beaten for pace by the seamer and that is the end of a brilliant 73-run partnership. SRH needed a wicket, desperately, and Malik provides it

GONE!

Umran Malik has his second wicket and Devutt Padikkal is bowled! Length delivery, Padikkal is beaten for peace. He seemingly tried to steer it down towards third man but is castled instead. End of the allotted overs for Malik (4-0-39-2) who started poorly but finishes with a wicket

Padikkal b Malik 41 (29)
