Sunrisers Hyderabad shattered Kolkata Knight Riders’ dream of playing in the play-offs. Sunrisers Hyderabad held out with bat and ball in the survival match. The Mumbai Indians, who had already secured first place, lost and made the play-offs.
Hyderabad beat Mumbai by 10 wickets in the last IPL match on Tuesday. David Warner’s victory has confirmed the departure of Kolkata Knight Riders from the league stage. Although Hyderabad is equal to 14 points, Kolkata is lagging behind in net execution rate.
The equation, of course, was clear. If Hyderabad loses, Kolkata will get play-off tickets. So the fans were watching the game starting with the Kolkata players.
But Riddhiman Saha and his team, the son of Bengal, drowned them in despair. Chasing 150 runs, Riddhiman played a 56-on-45 undefeated inning for Hyderabad.
Another starter, David Warner, was explosive. He played 10 fours and 1 six on 58 balls in a 75-run undefeated inning. With Jaspreet Bumrah and Trent Bolt at rest, Mumbai bowling looked weak.
Previously, Hyderabad bowlers did not allow Mumbai to score more than 149 runs for 6 wickets. Returning from injury, captain Rohit Sharma (4) missed. Quinton de Kock (25), Surya Kumar Yadav (36) and Ishan Kisan (33) couldn’t play a great inning despite settling down. Kieron Pollard made 41 of 25 balls with 2 fours and 4 sixes.
Sandeep Sharma is Hyderabad’s most successful with 3 windows. However, Shahbaz Nadeem took 2 wickets with only 19 runs in 4 overs. Jason Holder also took 2 wickets. Nadeem has become the best bowler of the match.
At the end of the league season, Hyderabad has risen to number three. Four Royal Challengers Bangalore. The two teams will meet in the knockout match on Friday. Earlier on Thursday, top-ranked Mumbai and second-ranked Delhi will play their top finishers.
