The Sunrisers Hyderabad got one more win in its account of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and exited with the last over that nearly had won for the teams of the Punjab King on Tuesday.
Sunrisers had the protecting job of 29 runs in the last over and the salutary captain handed to Unadkat to do the rest. However, with PBKS' raising hopes from the start of the over it was impossible to accomplish such a big score within the last over.
A Fantastic Finish 🔥

Then with 39 runs to go in the last over, Unadkat began with a slower ball that Ashutosh slog-swept to the deep midwicket boundary. Nitish Reddy is under the fence, trying to handle the ball, only mane to clear it over the ropes for a four. Two wides from Unadkat followed, bringing the equation to 21 in the remaining 5 balls.
In the 3rd ball of the over, Ashutosh Sharma took a couple for a boundary towards deep midwicket and brought it down to 13 needed off 3 balls.
Drops. Wides. Sixes. 😲

I think both sharp and brave worked well, we let them score a good amount but we bowled well in the first six, however, we lost 3 wickets and that's where we fell behind and lost the game at last,".
