Jaydev Unadkat was the pick of Sunrisers bowlers, grabbing 3 wickets for 35 runs, while Pat Cummins and Zeeshan Ansari also chimed in with a wicket each, albeit going at a much higher economy.

Sunrisers Hyderabad innings

Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the flip side of the scoreboard, were only able to muster a score of 186 runs for 6 wickets in their 20 overs, falling short by 38 runs. Abhishek Sharma played a brilliant innings of 74 runs off 41 balls, keeping Sunrisers in touch with the fast run chase, especially when he started to play aggressively.

Some resistance was shown by Heinrich Klaasen (23 runs off 18 balls) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (21 runs off 10), but it was not enough as the target continued to look further away. Gujarat bowled sharply, with Prasid Krishna chipping in with the most economical bowling performance of all with figures of 2/19 off his 4 overs. Mohammed Siraj and Ishant Sharma also contributed crucial wickets, maintaining pressure throughout.
