the end of this match, when the hydrama took place, Abdul Samad hit a six
off the last ball and gave Sunrisers a wonderful victory.
Excited when… Sunrisers need 5 runs off the last ball of the innings to
win. Sandeep Sharma is bowling… bold in throwing yorkers! Abdul Samad
at the crease took a catch at long off in an attempt to hit a big shot.
Everyone thought that Sunrisers had lost.
But… that was a noball! As soon as the umpire declared it a no ball…
Sunrisers got hope again. While 4 runs were needed off the last ball…
Samad hit the ball straight for a six without making any mistake this time
and shocked the Rajasthan Royals.
Batting first in this match, Rajasthan Royals scored 214 runs for 2 wickets
in the allotted 20 overs. Set a huge target of 215 runs, Sunrisers scored
217 runs for 6 wickets and won in an unbelievable manner.
Openers Unmol Preet Singh (33) and Abhishek Sharma (55) gave a good start
by scoring 51 runs for the first wicket… Rahul Tripathi, who came in one
down, scored 47 runs in 29 balls with 2 fours and sixes and ran the
Sunrisers scoreboard. Wicket keeper batsman Heinrich Klaasen (26 off 12
balls) contributed.
With Clausen and captain Aiden Mar Krum (7) out within a short span of
time, Sunrisers seemed to be heading for defeat. However, in the end,
Glenn Phillips scored 25 off just 7 balls to change the course of the match.
But when Phillips came out… there was disappointment in the Sunrisers
camp. Samad hit two sixes in the last over and lit up the faces of the
Sunrisers players. Meanwhile, this is the highest run chase for Sunrisers
in IPL.
