Gujarat Titans cruised to a 7-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Hyderabad’s top order collapsed, with Mohammed Siraj taking out both openers. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen scored crucial runs, and captain Pat Cummins added 22 runs off 9 balls to give his team a respectable score.
Gujarat’s start was shaky too, losing 2 wickets for 16 runs. But Washington Sundar and Shubman Gill’s 90-run partnership sealed the deal. Gill scored 61 runs off 43 balls, while Sundar made 49 runs off 29 balls.
Post-Match Analysis
Cummins blamed the pitch for his team’s loss. “This wasn’t a typical Hyderabad wicket,” he said. “It was tough to maintain consistency. The pitch didn’t spin as much as we thought it would.” He admitted that Gujarat played good cricket.
Key Moments
Sunrisers Hyderabad brought in Simarjeet Singh as an impact player in the second innings, replacing Travis Head. However, Simarjeet proved expensive, conceding 20 runs in his only over. Cummins explained that they chose Simarjeet over Rahul Chahar because Gujarat’s bowling seemed more effective with pace.
