GT vs SRH, 21st Match at Navi Mumbai, IPL, Apr 11 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary

11.18 pm So Pooran replaces the injured Tripathi in the 14th over and stays to the end to clinch victory. Captain Williamson gets a half-century in victory too.

Titans captain Hardik Pandya: "Batting wise I think we were 7-10 runs short and would've made a difference in the end. Bowling wise, we had a good start but had two bad overs. I think they bowled well [in the last 5 overs]. The bounce was varying about and their bowlers with different heights. Credit to them with the way they bowled. Our motto has been the same which is to learn from the mistakes we make no matter the result. In a couple of days we have our next game. Relax and enjoy the game."

Nicholas Pooran from Sunrisers: "We as a batting group wanted to learn from our mistakes in the past and make partnerships. It was challenging because it was two-paced. The slower balls were sticking in the wicket a bit. We just needed a partnership, not do anything stupid and be there at the end. I try to improve every single day that I train and play. We have some amazing coaches that sit with us and have some amazing conversations. Brian is helping us tremendously, not just me but all the young batters. The first over [in the field] went wrong for us, but having saying that with the dropped catches and extras, 160 on that wicket was fabulous for the bowlers."

Kane Williamson is named Player of the Match: "It was I thought all in all a good game of cricket. I thought we were good with the ball and so were they. It was hard to get a rhythm and so we just tried to build partnerships but good to see signs of improvement. The guys are nice and clear on their roles. Naturally there are always a number of challenges playing the best in the world and you're always under pressure but they adjusted nicely. It was quite tough to hit through the line. It was a fair game of cricket and if you could pick up wickets you could squeeze them a little bit. I think [Tripathi] might just be cramp. Hopefully it is minor and he can recover quickly. I'm not quite sure about Washington Sundar but hopefully he recovers quickly. We're seeing a variety of surfaces throughout the comp so I'm just trying to adjust."

That's it for our live commentary coverage today. Come back tomorrow for more IPL action. Take care!

Scores level now.

Vishwas: "I don't think Hardik is shouting at mistakes but rather at lack of efforts. Shami didn't move to take a catch, Wade was not happy with the fielding either. It is a game of fine margins and such mistakes can cost 2 points! "

All the top edges have somehow landed safely today in this chase. Less than a run a ball required now.

Around the wicket to Pooran.

Shami back at the death.

Mahesh: "Feels like Hardik is too hard on players when something went wrong showing too much emotions). he should be cool as captain. The other day he was almost shouting on Miller for that runout and now shouting on Sai (who is already doing great fielding today) who allowed that 2 runs"

Ferguson to bowl his last now as waiting until the 20th might be pointless.

Adarsh: "Even if Williamson had managed to score the winning runs, it doesn't take away from the fact that he was slow in the powerplay. The teams that go on to win the IPL often capitalize on every aspect - powerplays, middle overs and death overs, with specific roles assigned to different players."

Rudresh: "@Greatest Avenger: Hardik was not at fault for the LBW. It's the keeper and the bowler who need to be confident and convince the captain.Shami at fault on both the occassions."

Paarth: "@Tony Stark Whilst the review was plumb I agree, he's allowed to be annoyed the dropped catch seems like an extreme lack of effort which no one would be happy about"

Aidan Markram enters on strike.
