Match Highlights – Over by Over Story
SRH Innings: Fire in the first six overs
Sunrisers Hyderabad start batting and they swing hard. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head don’t let a single ball go to waste. They hit a boundary on the first ball. In the first six overs, SRH scored a massive 105 runs without losing a single wicket. This is the highest Powerplay score in IPL history. The spectators can’t believe what they are seeing.
Abhishek Sharma looks like a man on a mission. He hits everything hard and straight. He scores 74 runs in just 28 balls. That’s a strike rate of over 260. He has hit 5 fours and 8 huge sixes. Travis Head supported him well by scoring a quick 38 runs in 23 balls. Together, the two added 120 runs in just 8 overs. A total of 250 runs looks very possible at this point.
SRH Middle Overs: Breaks Come On
Then comes the big twist. Shashank Singh bowls the 9th over and takes two wickets – both Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head fall in the same over. Suddenly, the momentum changes for Punjab Kings. SRH lose their way in the middle. They score just 77 runs for 3 wickets in the next 10 overs. The team that wanted to score 260 runs now slows down.
Ishan Kishan comes in and adds 47 runs with Henrik Klaasen. But Kishan is caught by Marco Jensen at deep mid-wicket off Arshdeep Singh. The catch is absolutely incredible. Klaasen makes 39 runs off 33 balls. Aniket Verma makes a quick 18 runs off 9 balls, but the damage is already done. SRH finished at 219 for 6 – a big total, but not that big.
PBKS innings: Openers go ruthless
Punjab Kings have a target of 220 to win. They start their chase as if they are in a hurry. Priyansh Arya and Prabhasimran Singh were batting from the very first ball. In the first six overs, PBKS scored 93 runs without losing a single wicket. The combined powerplay score of both the teams in this match is 198 runs – the highest combined powerplay score in T20 history. Yes, you read that right. History is being made in Mullanpur.
Prabhasimran scores 51 runs in just 25 balls. He is timing the ball beautifully. Priyansh Arya is even better. He scores 57 runs in just 20 balls. He hits 5 fours and 6 sixes. Both the openers score half-centuries and then fall immediately, but the job is already half done.
Shreyas Iyer finishes the job
After the openers fall, Shreyas Iyer comes in at number four. He knows exactly what his team needs. He doesn’t panic. He just bats. He hits hard but he is also smart. He attacks the right balls and scores an unbeaten 69 off just 33 balls. He has hit 5 fours and 6 sixes.
Nehal Wadhera has supported him well and scored 14 runs off 14 balls. Shashank Singh comes in at the end and together with Iyer, scores an unbeaten 16 off 9 balls to complete the chase. PBKS crosses the line with 7 balls to spare. The entire team celebrates. Mullanpur fans are in high spirits.

Team Performance
Punjab Kings
Punjab Kings play the most explosive cricket you will ever see. Their openers set the match on fire from the very first ball. Both Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh bat in such a way that they have nothing to fear. The top order takes the SRH bowlers to the cleaners in the powerplay. Even when the openers fall, captain Shreyas Iyer keeps the innings calm and on track.
Their bowling in the first half is also impressive. Shashank Singh takes two big wickets in an over and completely changes the direction of the SRH innings. Arshdeep Singh takes two wickets and keeps SRH under control in the death overs. Punjab Kings look like a very balanced team this season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH start the match like a storm. Their opening partnership of 120 runs in 8 overs is strong. Abhishek Sharma plays one of the best powerplay innings in IPL history. But once both the openers fall in the same over, SRH never really recover. The middle order has not been able to capitalise on the brilliant start given by Sharma and Head.
Their bowlers try hard but PBKS batting order is very strong today. Shivang Kumar took 3 wickets and is their best bowler, but he can’t stop Shreyas Iyer either. SRH suffered their third defeat of the season and slipped to sixth place on the points table.
