Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) booked their place in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after a thumping win against Rajasthan Royal💛s (RR) at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Friday. The Sunrisers will now face Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the summit clash of the ongoing season.
Heinrich Klaasen powers SRH to a competitive total
Sunrisers Hyderabad put up a challenging total of 175 for 9 in their allotted 20 overs. The innings was anchored by Heinrich Klaasen, who scored a crucial 50 off 34 balls, including 4 sixes. Travis Head (34 off 28) and Rahul Tripathi (37 off 15) provided strong support at the top of the order, while Jaydev Unadkat contributed a quick 5 off 2 balls towards the e꧂nd.
Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers had mixed results. Trent Boult and Avesh Khan were the pick of the bowlers, each taking 3 wickets and conceding 45 and 27 runs, respectively. Sandeep Sharma also chipped in with 2 wickets foꦯr 25 runs in his 4 overs, providing crucial breakthrou༺ghs.
Shahbaz Ahmed shines with the ball
In response, Rajasthan Royals struggled to chase down the target and managed to score 139 for 7 in their 20 overs. Despite a promising start by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a quickfire 42 off 21 balls, and a fighting 56 off 35 balls from Dhruv Jurel, the Royals’ middle order faltered under the pressure of a disciplined SRH bowling attack.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowlers were efficient and effective. Shahbaz Ahmed was the standout performer, taking 3 wickets for 23 runs in his 4 overs. Abhishek Sharma also impressed with figures of 2 for 24 in his 4 overs, while Pat Cummins and T Natarajan took one wicket each, maintaining tight contr🍒ol over the run rate.
