IPL 2021 Highlights, SRH vs RR: Kane Williamson, Jason Roy Help SunRisers Hyderabad Beat Rajasthan Royals By 7 Wickets
IPL 2021, SunRisers Hyderabad vs Rajasthan Royals Highlights: Fifties from Kane Williamson and Jason Roy guided SunRisers Hyderabad to beat Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets.
The fifties from Kane Williamson (51*) and Jason Roy (60) guided SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) to a convincing victory by 7 wickets against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 40 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. In the chase of 165 runs SRH openers, Wriddhiman Saha and Jason Roy added 57 runs for the first wicket and later the middle order cameo helped Hyderabad to keep the momentum on their side. Abhishek Sharma who came to bat at No.5 after Priyam Garg got out on a duck, remained not out and scored a quickfire 21-run in the end. Earlier while batting first Rajasthan Royals scored 164 runs in 20 overs with heroics of skipper Sanju Samson (84). This was the second win of the season for Kane Williamson-led Hyderabad side but they are still at the bottom of the points table. However, depending on the various permutations and combinations, SRH can still qualify but it's a very difficult task for them going ahead. Rajasthan are at the sixth spot in the points table and they have four more games left in their campaign and in order to qualify for the playoffs they need to do well in all the games. (SCORECARD)
It was a convincing win for SunRisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals by 7 wickets. SRH skipper Kane Williamson remained not out and scored 51 runs. Jason Roy (60) who was playing his first game for SunRisers Hyderabad was the leading run-scorer for SRH and he was also the player of the match for his team. SRH still sit at the bottom of the points table but they can still qualify depending on other teams' results. Rajasthan Royals are at the sixth position and they are also in the race to playoff but the Sanju Samson-led side has to work a lot in their team combinations to get the desired results.
That's all from SRH vs RR blog. Do join us tomorrow where we have double headers- Kolkata Knight Riders vs Delhi Capitals first and then Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings.
Mustafizur to Williamson, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket. Two back to back fours to finish off the game. SRH have won the game by 7 wickets. Kane Williamson completes his 50 as well.
SunRisers Hyderabad batsmen are going slow in the last half of 165-run chase and they need 22 runs in the last 3 overs. Rajasthan Royals bowlers have put pressure on the SRH batsmen as they gave just 12 runs in the last two overs.
18 runs from the previous over and SRH have 57 runs on the board after 5 overs. Jason Roy is doing the same that he do for England in international cricket.
Last two overs left and RR have 153 runs on the board. Sanju Samson is looking dangerous and if he stays for a bit more then RR can even touch the over 180 runs. Crucial two overs for the both sides.
Another WICKET!!!! Rashid Khan has done the job for SRH this time. Liam Livingstone failed to pick the length and he has to depart now. Big wicket for SRH.
