GT vs SRH LIVE COMMENTARY

SRH in 9 overs: Up, up and away! Abhishek gets down on one knee and pumps Rashid over long-on.

SRH 66/2 in 8 overs: Markram punches one through cover. Ferguson concedes a boundary off his second delivery.

SRH 59/2 in 7 overs: Rashid comes into the attack. Abhishek and Markram continue to keep the scoreboard ticking without taking any undue risks. Time for the strategic timeout.

SRH 53/2 in 6 overs: FOUR! Joseph replaces Dayal and is greeted with a boundary. He goes full and wide outside off and Abhishek languidly drives over extra cover and to the boundary. FOUR! Cracking shot! Full again outside off and this is driven along the ground and between point and cover by Abhishek. Joseph continues bowling it full, but this is slightly closer to off stump and beats Abhishek’s attempted cover drive this time. Short of a length this time and Abhishek guides the ball behind point for a single. That was some serious pace too at 150 kmph. Good length ball, angling into Markram and he defends back to the bowler. Dot to end.

SRH 44/2 in 5 overs: Another jaffa from Shami. He gets the ball to jag back in to Tripathi from a length outside off and beats Tripathi’s outside edge. SIX! Tripathi steps out and hammers this over covers for a maximum. FOUR! Charges down again next ball and slices this over the infield to collect four more at deep point. FOUR! Shami darts in a half-volley but Tripathi is up to the task and drives this through the covers to make it 14 runs from the last three balls. Good riposte by Shami as he gets the ball to move into Tripathi and raps him on the pads. LBW appeal turned down but Hardik goes up for the review. No bat involved and the ball is hitting top of leg stump and Shami has the last laugh. OUT! Rahul Tripathi lbw b Mohammed Shami 16(10b 2×4 1×6).

SRH 30/1 in 4 overs: Dayal starts with a bouncer to Abhishek. Tripathi steps down the wicket but is cramped trying to pull. Dropped but tough chance. Tripathi sliced this full delivery outside off and Rashid jumped up and got his fingertips to it at point but spilt it. Tough chance however as the ball was tearing through the air. Two singles and a dot to end the over.

SRH 26/1 in 3 overs: Shami gets his first delivery to hold its line. Four! The next one is an inswinger, angling into Williamson’s pads. He has flicked it to deep square leg. A ripper from Shami sneaks through the gap between bat and pad to get rid of the opposition skipper. Tripathi comes to the crease.

SRH 22/0 in 2 overs: Dayal to share the new ball. He is getting the ball to shape away from the left-handed batter on strike. Abhishek, offered a bit of room outside the off-stump, rocks back to cut this through the point region for four. Four more… Lofted through cover on this occasion.

SRH 11/0 in 1 over: An absolute jaffa of a delivery asks tough questions of Abhishek first up. An upright seam that just flies past the off stump. Five wides… A bit of late swing sees the ball race past the ‘keeper and down to the rope. Shami bowls the hard length again and it has just missed the outside edge. Five wides… Again! Strays down leg side and Saha fails to get his gloves to this one as well. Williamson inside edges the first delivery he faces onto his pads.

Umpires Navdeep Singh and Chris Gaffaney make their way to the middle. Abhishek and Williamson to open. Shami has the new ball in hand.

GT vs SRH – QUOTES

Kane Williamson: The surfaces have been pretty good throughout. Washington Sundar comes in for Jagadeesha Suchith. He has recovered fairly quickly and is a big player for our team.

Hardik Pandya: We are gonna bowl first. We are not sure how the wicket is gonna play. There might be something in it for the bowlers initially. With our batting line-up it’s better that we know exactly how much we are chasing. No changes. I will take it a bit easy. We have seven options in the bowling and if required, I will bowl.

GT vs SRH PITCH REPORT

“There is not much grass. The pitch is very hard. The last five games here have been won by the team batting first. It’s very dry and maybe it’s an advantage to bat upfront. Try and get some total on the board because chasing is proving to be very difficult as the tournament wears on,” reckons Matthew Hayden.

GT vs SRH MATCH PREVIEW

It will be Power Play at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. The power hitters of Gujarat Titans will face-off against the powerful pace attack of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Tata-IPL.  

GT has dished out a refreshing brand of cricket under Hardik Pandya who has turned out the surprise packet as a captain with his smart moves. Hardik, himself a force as a pace bowling all-rounder, understands the dynamics of Twenty20 cricket where an over of poor cricket can cost you the match. 

The levels of intensity need to be high throughout. A slip and the fall can be steep.

GT has the graceful opener Shubhman Gill who can guide the team deep into the innings. He times the ball through the gaps.

And the Gujarat side has an explosive bunch of ball strikers with Hardik, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia and Abhinav Manohar. Asking rate doesn’t matter.  

And the genuinely quick Lockie Ferguson and the skilful Mohammed Shami form a threatening pace pair. And versatile leg-spinner Rashid Khan will be up against his old team SRH. He would want to prove a point.

Kane Williamson leads an SRH team that can sting with its pace attack.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik and T. Natarajan, with their pace, two-way movement and left-arm right-arm angles can demolish line-ups.

And SRH has the batting with Williamson, Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram adding weight to the line-up. The duel promises to be intriguing in nature.
