Thrilling Encounter in Ahmedabad

SRH Set a Competitive Total (162/8)

While their openers failed to fire, a crucial partnership between Abdul Samad and Shahbaz Ahmed helped them salvage some pride. For GT, Mohit Sharma was the pick of the bowlers, scalping 3 wickets and conceding only 25 runs in his quota of 4 overs.
GT Chase
Chasing the target, GT openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha provided a solid foundation. However, after both departed, a middle-order wobble threatened to derail their chase. But a fighting cameo from David Miller (38* off 27 balls) and some sensible batting from Rahul Tewatia (22* off 18 balls) ensured a comfortable victory for the home side with 7 balls to spare.
