PBKS vs SRH, 28th Match at Navi Mumbai, IPL, Apr 17 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary

In case you haven't already, head over to the CSK vs GT game which is about to start where the Chennai Super Kings have been sent in to bat. Thanks for tuning in. It's goodbye for now from me, Ekanth, my fellow commentator, Vishal Dikshit, and our scorer, Chandan Duorah.

Umran Malik is the Player of the Match for his figures of 4-1-28-4. He took two catches as well.

Nick: "At 18.5 overs PK were 151/5, SRH were 152/3. That epic last over from Umran proved to be the key to the win"

Bhuvneshwar Kumar in his interview with the host broadcaster: There was no swing so I looked hit back of a length. That was my plan against Shikhar as I knew he would step out and look for the boundary. I looked to hit a hard length and find the top edge and luckily that's what happened, I looked to play with my field as well. I try to bowl to the batter's weakness or to the ground's dimensions. The wicket and my skills are what I look at. (On Umran) More than helping me, it means I am a target as batters think I'm slower (Laughs). But watching him bowl fast and get wickets is a joy. Hope the others going after me leads to wickets and not boundaries (smiles).

Shikhar Dhawan, Punjab Kings Captain: Mayank is better and he should be ready to be back. We were 30-40 runs short and lost too many early wickets which put us behind the game. The early wickets meant we had to hold wickets and that's where we had to mould our game. There was a middle order recovery but the early wickets cost us. The wicket had extra-bounce to which we were late to adjust. The discussion with the batting will be to save wickets till the 13th-14th over, the bowlers are doing well. We need to put up complete performances and hopefully a 3-4 game turnaround which can change a season will come in.

Temba : "Other bowlers who did equally or worse than Smith got more overs, his form hasn't been great but captaincy/management is gonna make his confidence even worse"

Chris: "Markram averages 190 in this IPL! :)" Yes.

Monoj: "Such a meditative end, the two of them taking off their helmets and taking a moment by themselves, it was beautiful, loved it!!"

7:10 pm: Sunrisers Hyderabad enter the top-4 in the Points Table thanks to their fourth win. Their chase was smooth and well-managed by Markram and Pooran in the end. That was on the back of Rahul and Abhishek getting starts. The bowlers did not have enough runs to defend, Chahar did well and the others could not chip in with wickets, which meant that the chase could not be stalled and the Sunrisers could get their fourth win on the trot.

Over the wicket

13 needed of 12. With 7 wickets in hand, this should be all but done if there is no miracle.

Bala: "Neck to neck run rate but Kings are not taking wickets."

Over for the left-hander which might be a pattern

Around the wicket

Sandeep J : "@Nani your worry is legitimate but this is new middle order, u still have firepower after these 2.. not like in previous editions.."

Rabada starts his last over from over the wicket

Time-out! Sans an unlikely turnaround, this should be an easy win for the Sunrisers. Also, the toss for the GT vs CSK game is starting soon. Head over there for updates.

Nani: "I am slightly worried about SRH'S chase now considering their history in chases."

Hamza: "Livingstone faced 6 balls in the last 30 balls he was at the crease. Might be the difference between winning and losing. Oh and umran's last over as well. "
