Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Indian Premier League, 2022 Full score card

SIX! OVER THE FENCE! It is Gujarat, it is Gujarat who have yet again smacked a biggie on the last ball to win the game. What a win, what a chase! This time it is not Rahul Tewatia but it is Rashid Khan! A short one and on middle, he pulls, it goes more off the top edge but sails over Umran Malik at fine leg for a biggie. GUJARAT WIN BY 5 WICKETS!

SIX! Gets it over the fence! 3 needed in one now! All three results possible, a tie, a Gujarat win and a Hyderabad win too. That is some shot, he has really hit that well. This is full and outside off. He smacks it over the cover fence and it goes sailing over the fielder there. Super over anybody? A two here?

That is a dot! Gold dust at this stage! 9 needed now in 2. A short one and outside off, Rashid may have been expecting a full one. He is late in the slash, he misses and it goes towards the keeper.

SIX! Rashid smacks it over the fence! That is a powerful hit and now the equation is down to 9 needed in 3. Fuller and outside off, right in the slot. This is heaved over the long on fence for a biggie. Have to say the game is in the balance now.

Just the one! Goes short this time and on the body, Rashid pulls it behind square on the leg side for one.

SIX! BANG! That is right in the slog and it is a biggie to begin the last over. 16 needed now in 5 balls. Pressure on Marco Jansen! This is right in the slot. It is full and on middle, Rahul Tewatia sends it sailing over the mid-wicket fence.

Marco Jansen to bowl the final over. Can he defend 21 runs?

Just the single to end! Really good finish! 22 needed then in the last over. A full one outside off, this is jammed through covers for one.

SIX! BANG! Does find the boundary! 23 needed in 7 now. That is a hit me ball. A full toss on middle, Rahul Tewatia goes down on one knee and sends it sailing over the mid-wicket fence. Rahul has done it before, can he do it again?

Outstanding stuff! A yorker outside off, not a lot you can do with that. Tewatia swings but misses. He needs to find the boundaries now.

Malik probably lost it in the lights! This is a full toss on the pads, Rashid scoops it, it goes uppishly towards Malik at fine leg. He runs in but then stops himself. A single.

Well bowled! Makes the batter hit on the leg side by bowling it full and on middle, it is the longer part. It is hit towards deep mid-wicket for one.

FOUR! Clears Jansen and yet again, T Natarajan's over begins with a boundary! They need a huge, huge over here! This is full and on off, it is thumped down the ground, over mid off for a boundary.

Yes, he does, just the 12 from it, the run rate needed now is over 15. Rahul Tewatia makes room, he is followed and gets a low full toss, this is hit towards deep mid-wicket for one.

Shorter and on off, Khan slaps it down to long off for only one. Can Kumar end the over well? This has been a really good one keeping the context of the game in mind.

SIX! That is brilliant use of the wrists! What a hit! On middle, fuller, this is whipped over the long on fence for a biggie. Welcome biggie. They need one more probably in the next two balls.

Dots are just gold! Outside off, Khan slashes but misses.

Really good fielding again! On middle, fuller, this is whipped through mid-wicket. Jansen in the deep, runs to his right, slides and keeps it down to two. Outstanding fielding.

Really well bowled and well fielded too! A slower one, full and outside off, this is lofted over covers, Markram runs to his left from long off. Two taken.

NOT OUT! That never looked out to be honest! A good use of the review but more importantly, it is a dot. Should have been a single but ends up being a dot! A full delivery, on the pads, Rahul looks to flick but misses, it hits the pad and goes down to fine leg. T Natarajan is the only one appealing. The batters are jogging across for a run but the finger is raised. Tewatia reviews. Replays roll in and they show it has pitched outside leg. So, a really good comeback by T Natarajan after going for a boundary on the very first ball.

Magical stuff! Another yorker, on middle, Khan jams it down to fine leg and takes one.

Just the one! Singles won't win Gujarat the game! A low full toss on off, this is hit down to long on for one.

Tewatia misses out there! This is a full toss on off, he hits it hard but to square leg.

WIDE! T Natarajan under pressure here! Looks to bowl it well wide outside off. Left alone. Wided.

In the air... safe! On middle, full. Tewatia looks to go over square leg, this is way too full, it goes off the top edge towards deep mid-wicket. Lands short, the fielder misfields, two taken.

FOUR! Smashed! This is full and right in the slot! It is hit over covers for boundary. Just the start they needed now, can they make this into a big over?

OUT! KABOOM! Five for Umran Malik, young man, take a bow! What a beauty of a bowler. He has single-handedly turned the game in Hyderabad's favor. This is full and fast yet again on middle, Manohar looks to defend, this lands and moves away. It goes past the outside edge and hit the off pole. Two wickets in the over and Gujarat now need 56 in the last 4.

Rashid Khan is the new man in. Also, T Natarajan is back into the attack.

WIDE! Still a ball left in his spell! Will the extra ball cost him though! Down the leg side, Manohar looks to flick but misses. Wided.

Abhinav Manohar is in at number 6.

OUT! TIMBER! Yes, he does! That is the big fish, the finisher for Gujarat walks back! Huge, blow, a body blow one can say. This is a top class delivery, full and fast, you miss, I hit stuff! On middle, Miller swings across the line but misses it altogether. The middle stump is uprooted. Malik's spell could have well won Hyderabad the game. 57 needed in 25.

Hyderabad won't mind the singles! On middle, this is worked through square leg for one. Two balls to go, can he get Miller in this over?

Almost snuck through! On middle, length, Miller looks to flick, he gets an inside edge onto the pads. It rolls towards square leg for one.

Another single! Length and on off, Tewatia opens the face of the bat and guides it through point for one.

Direct hit and Miller was probably gone! Length and on off, Miller guides it to point. He takes off. Sharma collects the ball and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Miller probably would have made it. Does seem like that.

DRINKS! 61 needed off 30 balls and it's anybody's game from here. One would generally back the batting side though with just 3 batters back in the hut and Gujarat do have a slight edge but Hyderabad do have a potent bowling attack with overs from Umran Malik, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan still to come. Exciting last five overs coming up.

A bit lucky there Bhuvi. Short and very wide. Miller goes chasing after it but can't get it past Kane Williamson at the cover region. Just the single then.

Better from Bhuvi. Gull and straight, Tewatia digs it out to long on and collects a run.

FOUR! Bhuvi serves it wide again and Tewatis just throws his hands at it. Tewatia gets a good connection on it and the ball races away to the point fence.

Around middle, this is driven through mid on for a single.

Dropped! It was hit so hard that calling it a missed chance seems a bit harsh. Back of a length, around off. David Miller looks to pull but hits it straight back towards the bowler and Bhuvneshwar Kumar cannot hold on to it. This might prove to be a costly miss, who knows.

This is pushed wide of the off stump, Tewatia stretches his arms and slices it over backward point for one.

Change! Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes back on now.

Length, around off and Miller pushes it towards covers. 69 needed now off 36 balls.

Around the top of off, Tewatia gets an inside edge back onto the deck and the batters scamper through for one.

Fullish delivery, 147.6 clicks and angled into the pads. Tewatia looks to work it away but gets hit on the pads.

Rahul Tewatia walks out to bat!

OUT! CASTLED! That is as stunning a yorker as one will see! Absolute jaffa from Umran Malik and Hyderabad have the wicket they needed so despeartely. Umran Malik steams in and serves it at 153 KPH and this one tails into the leg stump as well. Wriddhiman Saha moves past the leg stump, looking to squeeze it away but the heat on the ball is just too much to handle. The ball goes on to hit the base of leg stump and Mailk seems all pumped up. Brilliant knock though from Saha.

Pacy delivery, over 146 clicks and sliding into off stump. Miller gets it off the inner half of the bat towards mid-wicket for a single.

The call is for two but it will only be a single. On middle, driven through mid on for a run. 75 needed now off 42 balls, very doable for Gujarat. Hyderabad need wickets here.

Flatter delivery, around off and this is cut away by Miller through cover-point for a couple of runs.

Good fielding from Aiden Markram, keeps it down to a single. A bit shorter, on middle. Saha rocks back and lifts it right over the bowler's head. Markram from long on runs around and cuts it off.

TWO WIDES! This is speared down the leg side and Pooran fails to collect it clenaly. The batters also scamper through for one.

Sundar knows Saha is looking for the big shot and hence holds this one back a touch. This is outside off and Saha eases it down to long off for one.

FOUR! It's boundaries galore here from Wriddhiman Saha. This is tossed up, around the pads. Saha steps out and whips it behind square on the leg side for a boundary.

Flatter delivery, angled into the pads. Miller nudges it towards short fine leg for a run.

FOUR! Saha is back in the groove and Gujarat are back in it as well. Pitched up again from Jansen, a bit in the slot. Saha punches it uppishly and gets it just past the man at mid on for back-to-back boundaries.

FOUR! Here comes the release shot from Wriddhiman Saha. This is pitched up on off, Saha thumps it right back over the bowler's head for a welcome boundary.

This is a low dipping full toss on the pads, Miller flicks it down to fine leg for one.

Short of a length, angled across the right-hander. Wriddhiman Saha pulls it hard and along the ground but the man at mid-wicket makes a good stop. Just the single then.

WIDE! Jansen tries to go full and wide, a bit too wide though.

The required rate is starting to creep up now. Around the hips, tucked away nicely by Miller through mid-wicket for a run.

On off, Miller goes on the back foot but can't get it through mid off.

FIFTY! Flatter delivery, on off and turning in. Wriddhiman Saha knocks it down to long on for a single and picks up a single. This has been a brilliant knock so far and he now holds the key for Gujarat.

Another run to end! Angled into the pads yet again, this is worked down to fine leg for one. Another successful over for Malik comes to an end.

Angled into the pads, Miller looks to flick, he misses, it hits the pad and rolls behind to fine leg for one.

Angled into the middle pole, Miller works it to mid-wicket.

FOUR! That is really good batting! Just used the pace of the bowler! Shorter and outside off, Miller waits and then guides it past point for a boundary. Lovely placement and lovely timing.

David Miller is the next man in.

OUT! TAKEN! Umran Malik gets the better of Hardik Pandya. That is a massive wicket, massive, massive wicket. He was the man in form but he falls early. Also, brilliant field placement. They had a man at third man so, so fine, had he not been there, this would not have been an easy catch. This is banged in short and on off, Hardik looks to pull, beaten for pace, it flies off the top edge over the keeper. Marco Jansen runs in and takes a good sliding catch. Hyderabad on top now. 111 needed in 64.

MISFIELD AND FOUR! Kumar should have done better there! On middle, Pandya whips it, it goes more off the toe-end and uppishly towards mid on, it lands short, Kumar lets it through and it goes for a boundary.

Sundar gets away with one there! On the pads, this is swept to short fine leg only for one.

FOUR! Timed wonderfully! Absolutely wonderful! Almost an action replay of what happened between the two last time around. Pandya was hit in the head and he smacked the next ball for a boundary. This time too, he was hit on the body and caresses the next ball. Length and on off, he shows the full face of the bat and this races through mid off. A boundary to end the over but an amazing one from Malik.

Hardik Pandya seems to be really stung by the delivery from Umran Malik on the right shoulder and the physio rushes out on the field. Pandya sends the physio back and looks good to continue.

That lands safe! That is a snorter! What a delivery to welcome Pandya. He is in pain but now seems fine. Umran hit him on the helmet in the last game between the two and now on the shoulder. This is shortish, it takes off after landing. Pandya looks to defend but misses, he gets hit on the shoulder. Hardik takes a moment for himself, he now looks charged though, that walk back to the crease had a lot of intent.

The skipper, Hardik Pandya is in at number 3.

OUT! TIMBER! The crowd here enjoyed that, we enjoyed that! The stump is uprooted! Umran Malik comes on and does what he was got onto do. GET A WICKET! It is Gill who was playing second fiddle who is dismissed. Gill looks to press the accelerator. He makes room and Malik bowls this on a length and around off, Gill looks to cut but is beaten for pace and the off pole is knocked back. That is the wicket Hyderabad desperately needed. 127 needed in 74.

Does not find the gap! Shorter and on middle, Gill pulls it to mid-wicket. Both the batters are seen waiting on the back foot.

Now goes short and on middle, Saha pulls but it goes off the inner half towards mid-wicket for one.

A 143 KPH delivery to begin with! On a length and angled into the pads, Saha looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.

DRINKS! What a fabulous start this is with the bat by Gujarat. Wriddhiman Saha has taken the bowling to the cleaners so far and Shubman Gill is stringing along nicely as well. This is a dangerous sign for Hyderabad but there's a lot of cricket to be played and a couple of quick wickets will shoot up the asking rate right where Hyderabad want it to be. A fascinating passage of play awaits. Also, Umran Malik is now introduced into the attack.

Saha makes room! This is bowled shorter and outside off, Saha slaps it down to long off for one.

This time it is an easy run! On middle, this is pushed down to long on for one.

Fires it on middle again, Gill plays it to mid-wicket. Saha wants a run but is sent back.

Flatter and on off, Gill works it to mid-wicket.

Very full and on off, this is hit down to long off for one.

Spin for the first time as Washington Sundar comes on to bowl. Before he can bowl, he is getting his fingers taped. He did have his webbing split a few matches ago.

A dot to end! On middle, length, Gill plays it back to the bowler.

A yorker now on middle, this is jammed down to long on for one.

FOUR! Saha is taking the game away here! Another superb shot! Shorter and on the body, Saha steps out and pulls it behind square on the leg side for another boundary.

FOUR! That is a poor delivery and put away! From around the wicket, this is angled on the pads, Saha works it fine and this one races away to the fence, fine leg fence for a boundary.

Full again, around off. This is driven through mid off for a single.

Well bowled. Slower delivery this time from Jansen, on a fuller length and around off. Gill looks to dab at it but the ball slides across and beats him past the outside edge.

Change! Change of ends for Marco Jansen!

Pace on this time. A touch fuller, around leg stump. Saha looks to tuck it away but gets rapped on the pads.

Gill is playing is role well here by just rotating the strike. Outside off and Gill taps it with the swing towards covers for one.

Sliding into the pads, flicked away behind square on the leg side for a single.

FOUR! Wriddhiman Saha is going after the bowling and so far it is coming off for him. Shorter in length, Saha steps down the track and pulls it past square leg for a boundary.

Length this time, on off. Gill bunts it out on the off side with soft hands and picks up a single.

Lovely away shape on this occasion. Fuller and outside off, Gill can't get a bat on it.

Short of a length, over middle. Gill works it towards mid-wicket for one. 19 runs off the over!

FIVE WIDES! Just last match, Marco Jansen was having a ball in his first over and tonight it has been a disaster up until now. Jansen puts in extra effort but ends up spilling it down the leg side. Nicholas Pooran puts in the dive but the ball runs away into the fine leg fence.

Lovely! Jansen tightens his line around off and angles it across the right-hander. Shubman Gill looks to have a poke at it but the ball zips past the outside edge.

Back of a length this time from Jansen, on leg stump. Saha hops and dabs it down on the leg side for a single. Smart batting from him.

SIX! Even better this time! Marco Jansen errs in line and serves a half-volley on the pads. Wriddhiman Saha picks it up and dispatches it over the backward square leg fence for a maximum.

FOUR! Here comes the first boundary of the innings. Pitched up, on off. Wriddhiman Saha fetches it and whips it over square leg to find the fence.

Jansen starts off with a length ball, around off stump. Gill plays it on the up and towards mid off for a quick single.

Who will bowl from the other end then? Marco Jansen it is. He too has been brilliant with the ball for Hyderabad.

Gill is off the mark as well. This is a bit short and wide, Gill eases it towards deep point for a run. Tidy start from Bhuvi, just 2 runs off the first over.

The inswinger now. Shaping in sharply from around off and Saha gets right behind the line of the ball to make the block.

A touch fuller and wide, shaping away a long way. Saha looks to guide it past the slip cordon but gets beaten by the movement.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is on the mark straightaway. Starts off with a length ball, around the top of off. A bit of shape on it as well. Wriddhiman Saha nudges it towards cover-point.

SIX! A hat-trick of maximums to end the innings and take a bow, Shashank Singh! This is pitched up, around off and is perfectly in the slot. Singh hangs deep and smokes it over the long off fence for a biggie. 25 runs came off the final over and Hyderabad end with 195/6!

SIX! Cheeky as you like and Shashank Singh is turning it on tonight. Pacy delivery, it's a full toss on middle stump. Singh just shuffles past the off stump and ramps it over short fine leg. The ball goes all the way for a biggie.

SIX! The slower ball isn't working for Lockie Ferguson here. This is banged into the deck and around off. The ball sits up nicely and Shashank Singh just pummels it flat and over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum.

OUT! RUN OUT! Top stuff from Alzarri Joseph and Hyderabad are losing their way here! Joseph balls this one on a good length and around the hips. Washington Sundar gets cramped for room and can't get it away. The ball comes off the thigh pads and back onto the deck. The batters scamper through for one but Joseph gets to the ball and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end. The decision is sent upstairs and Sundar is short of his crease. Marco Jansen will be the next batter to come in.

WIDE! This is well down the leg side and Sundar seems to have missed his flick. Wide signalled but Alzarri Joseph is convinced there is a deviation but the umpire isn't interested. The replay confirms that there's nothing on it.

OUT! TAKEN! Huge, huge moment in the innings and this could well make a difference of 15 or so runs. Yash Dayal bowls this one on a length and takes all the pace off the ball. Dayal also pushes it a bit wider and Aiden Markram has to go chasing after it. Markram ends up skying it around the extra cover region. David Miller runs in from the deep and takes a safe catch.

Rashid Khan on the mid-wicket fence starts to come in but the ball flies just over the ropes for a maximum.

Excellent stop from Yash Dayal. A yorker, close to the off pole and Washington Sundar plays a cheeky shot as he tries to just squeeze it past short third man. Dayal is quick to dive to his left and make the stop. Three runs saved there.

OUT! CAUGHT! Cool as you like from Shubman Gill on the fence and Nicholas Pooran has to depart early. Full again from Mohammad Shami, on middle stump. Pooran doesn't quite get under it and ends up flat-batting it down the throat of Gill on the long on fence. Gill makes no mistake and Shami gets his third wicket of the night.

Good bumper from Joseph! At around 141 clicks and on leg stump. Nicholas Pooran ducks under it.

DRINKS! Hyderabad have had a stronghold in the middle overs and Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram have put them well on course of a score of around 200. The wicket of Sharma though might prove to be very crucial but with Nicholas Pooran to come next, Hyderabad will feel confident. Gujarat will be looking to pick up more wickets and slow down the scoring rate.

OUT! Dragged on! Alzarri Joseph comes back into the attack and gets the vital breakthrough for his team. This is full and on off stump from Joseph but at just 125.6 kph. Abhishek Sharma looks to take it and on goes for the booming cover drive. Sharma is undone by the lack of pace and the ball goes off the inside edge back on to hit the middle stump. Sharma has to depart after a brilliant innings and Gujarat have a bit of respite.

Swing and a miss! Shorter in length and outside off, Markram looks to pull but misses. A dot to end but still 12 from the over. 200 now looks possible.

SIX! BANG! That has been nailed! What a shot! On middle, length, this is heaved over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

FOUR! Let's it through and a boundary! Needed to make a decision, the fielder, he goes for the catch, does not take it and it goes behind for a boundary! It is the sub, Vijay Shankar! This is fuller and on middle, Sharma looks to flick, it goes off the inner half towards deep square leg. Shankar runs in and puts in a dive forward but it lands in front of him, he fails to get his body behind and it goes for a boundary.

Really well bowled! A slower one to begin with! This is pushed through covers for one. Just the single to start the over.

Back of a length, around off at 142.7 kph, Markram stands back and tries to pummel it across the line. But he fails to get it off the middle of the bat and ends up flat-batting it past the bowler. The long on fielder cuts it off and they get a couple.

A touch short and on off, Sharma runs it down to third man for a run.

SAFE! Rashid dishes out a leg spinner, full and around off, Aiden Markram presses forward to push inside the line but misses. The keeper collects the ball and breaks the stumps. The appeal is made, it's referred upstairs. The third umpire first checks for the outside edge which is absent. The side-on angle then shows that Aiden never left his crease.

Is that a stumping? The umpires have gone upstairs to check. The catch will be checked first and there's no bat involved as shown on UltraEdge. The replay shows that Aiden Markram has his foot grounded the whole time and it is NOT OUT.

A low full toss, Sharma pushes it to long off and gets a single.

SIX! That's a cracking shot! Abhishek Sharma picks the googly early. It's full and right in the slot around off, Sharma goes against the spin but packs it with enough power to clear long on.

Starts with a shortish ball on off, the batter stays on the back foot and punches it to covers. A good stop inside the ring.

DRINKS! The game is quite evenly poised at the moment! Hyderabad are going along at a good rate but have lost two important wickets. They will hope the two here can bat long and lay the platform for the ones coming in. Gujarat, on the other hand, will know a wicket or two and they will enter the lower order of Hyderabad that has not been tested so far. An interesting phase awaits. Also, Lockie Ferguson to have a bowl now.

Another single to end the over. Flatter delivery, turning sharply into leg stump. Markram pushes it off the back foot down to long on.

Back of a length, angled across the right-hander. Sharma dabs it down behind point and after a bit of yes and no, the batters scamper through for one.

Jospeh bends his back and bowls this one at around 149 clicks. The line is tighter on the off stump and this time Sharma fails to connect.

FOUR! Joseph gets greeted with a sublime stroke! A length ball, outside off and Abhishek Sharma drives through the line of the ball, lifting it over cover-point for a boundary.

Aiden Markram is the new man in. Also, Alzarri Joseph to have a bowl now.

OUT! THREE REDS AND SHAMI GETS HIS REVENGE! The big wicket of Rahul has been taken! Shami has another and he will be really pleased. The inswinger does the trick again. This lands around middle and off, it jags back in. Rahul looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pad. A huge appeal but it's turned down. Shami wants it to be reviewed and it is. Replays show that the ball passes close to the bat but no bat is involved. The Ball Tracking shows three reds. End of an action-packed over.

FOUR! Caressed! That is a delightful stroke! 14 from the last three balls and Rahul is on a roll here! Fuller and on off, Rahul shows the full face of the bat and creams it through covers for another boundary.

FOUR! A biggie followed by a boundary! Length and on off, Rahul yet again makes room and then carves it over point for a boundary. That dropped catch is really hurting Gujarat so far. Shami under pressure here.

SIX! Over the fence! That is a solid, solid stroke and should make Rahul Tripathi feel better. He didn't begin well but this shot should give him a lot of confidence. Rahul steps out and makes room, this is on a length and around off, he lofts it over covers for a biggie.

Good stuff from Shami! Length again and on middle, Rahul defends it solidly.

That is a beauty! On a length, starts from outside off and comes back in. Rahul is rooted to his crease and tries to guide it down to third man but is beaten. That just about goes past the off pole.

There is probably a plan against Sharma of bowling short! On middle, Abhishek Sharma looks to pull but it hits the splice and goes towards square leg. A dot to end a fiery over by Dayal. Could have had a wicket in it.

Off the leading edge! Fuller and on middle, angling away. Rahul Tripathi looks to flick, it goes off the leading edge down to third man for one.

Really good bumper again! On the body and Sharma is yet again hurried into the pull, it hits the splice, lands safe on the leg side. Another run.

DROPPED! That is a brilliant effort by Rashid but one has to say, that should have been taken by Rashid. He got two hands to it. Fuller and on off, Rahul looks to go over covers, this squirts off the outer half towards point. Rashid probably takes off a little early as he dives to his left, the ball does not stick in. A single. Could prove costly. Rahul Tripathi is in form.

That was just the second ball! That is how he plays though! Steps out, Dayal bowls it shorter and on the body, this is played to mid off.

That really hurried onto Sharma! Short and on middle, Sharma is late on the pull, it hits the splice and goes towards square leg for one. Sharp stuff from Yash Dayal!

OUT! TIMBER! The stumps are shattered! Shami gets rid of Kane Williamson yet again! His poor form in this tournament continues. A wicket which Gujarat needed, Hyderabad had gotten off to a really good start here! This is fuller, it shapes back in just a little. Kane Williamson is rooted to his crease as he looks to work it around. Leaves a gap between bat and pad. The ball sneaks in and hits the poles behind. Williamson probably should have put in a better stride. He maybe was thinking it will be short as the square leg was pushed back. Have to say, he was outwitted by Shami and the Gujarat side.

Bounces over the stumps! Kane Williamson though was aware of where the ball was heading! Length and on off, this lands and jags back in. Kane Williamson looks to play it late and with soft hands. It hits the under-edge and bounces over the stumps.

Good length and on off, Kane Williamson waits and guides it to point.

FOUR! That is bread and butter stuff for Kane! On the pads, Williamson flicks it uppishly and over square leg for his first boundary. Hyderabad are off to an absolute flier here.

Solid! Good length and on middle, Williamson plays it back to the bowler.

A dot to end the over but another good one for Hyderabad! Length and on off, swinging away. Left alone.

FOUR! Up and over! That is a shot played with a lot of authority! Quality! Stand and deliver! Length and on off, not a very bad delivery, just a little bit of width. Sharma lofts it over the cover fielder and bags a boundary.

WIDE! Down the leg side, Sharma looks to flick but misses to put bat on ball. Another extra as it is another wide.

FOUR! Cracks it away! Shorter and outside off, Sharma stands tall and slaps it through point for a boundary. That is a quality shot. First boundary off the bat!

Almost! This one comes back in from outside off, late, it is on the fuller side. Williamson looks to jam it out, it goes off the inner half through square leg for one.

BEATEN! Quite an aggressive stroke there. There is width on offer, it is on a length and outside off. Williamson looks to go hard at it but is beaten.

Quick run! Length and on off, Sharma guides it to point and takes one.

Yash Dayal to share the new ball with Mohammad Shami.

Half an appeal but there was an inside edge! A good end to the over but an expensive one! Length and on off, this lands and jags back in. Williamson looks to defend but gets an inside edge onto the pads.

First run off the bat! Sharma is off the mark! Length and on off, this is guided down to third man for one.

FIVE WIDES AGAIN! That is the second in the over. Shami is not able to control the balls coming back in. He is a little too straight on those inswingers, this one goes past the pads of the batter, past the dive of the keeper and into the fence in the fine leg region. 10 runs and none of the bat.

Yet another beauty! This is on a length and around off, this one also lands and moves away. Sharma is beaten all ends up as he tries to block.

Back of a length and on off, Sharma defends.

Angled into the pads, Sharma flicks it but to mid-wicket. He timed it well but did not find the gap.

FIVE WIDES! Bonus runs! Hyderabad get underway! This one swings in, swings big, it starts from outside off and keeps coming in. Ends up down the leg side, keeps moving away from the keeper who dives and it goes to the fine leg fence.

That is an absolute jaffa to begin with! What a delivery! Length, and on off, angled in from around the wicket. It lands and moves away. Sharma looks to defend but is beaten.

We are ready for play! The two umpires stride out to the middle, followed by the players from Gujarat. Hyderabad openers Abhishek Sharma and Kane Williamson walk out to bat for the first time in this stadium this season. Mohammad Shami has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

Nicholas Pooran is up for a quick chat. Pooran says that his current form is due to him knowing exactly what the team needs from him. About Aiden Markram, he says that they have played together for Punjab as well and reckons Markram is a hard worker and is happy that both he and Markram are able to do well. Pooran then talks about the hierarchy in the batting order and there is a set role for everyone in the team which helps. He adds that he wants to stay in the present and do whatever the team requires from him.

Kane Williamson, the captain of Hyderabad, says they have enjoyed chasing but they knew there will come a time when they’ll have to chase and they are looking forward to it. Informs about one change as Washington Sundar comes in for Jagadeesha Suchith. Adds Umran is keen to go and he is fit and ready.

Gujarat skipper, Hardik Pandya says they are not sure why they will be bowling, they have done well batting first and bowling first. Mentions the wicket here does play a few tricks at the start and they are hoping to make use of it. Mentions with the lineup they have, it will be better to bat second. Informs they are playing the same team. Ends by saying if needed he will bowl.

Hyderabad (Playing XI) - Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (C), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Washington Sundar (In for Jagadeesha Suchith), Shashank Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, T Natarajan and Umran Malik.

Gujarat (Unchanged XI) - Wriddhiman Saha (WK), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya (C), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Abhinav Manohar, Lockie Ferguson, Alzarri Joseph, Yash Dayal and Mohammad Shami.

TOSS - It's time for the toss and it is won by Gujarat. They will have a BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Matthew Hayden is pitchside. Haydos says that the square boundaries are 62 meters and 67 meters with the straight boundary being over 70 meters. He adds that the wicket is quite dry but is very, very hard. Mentions that the totals in the last few matches here haven't been high which might be a sign to bat first.

Gujarat have lost just the one game so far and that was against Hyderabad earlier on in the tournament. Since then, they are on a three-game winning run and will be looking to make it 4 today. Hyderabad on the other hand, have been unbeatable. After losing two to begin the tournament, they now have won 5 in a row and will look to make it 6. Two sides with excellent bowling attacks, this is promising to be a cracker.

The Indian T20 League is moving along quickly as we head into game 40. It is a clash between two sides, Gujarat and Hyderabad, who have done exceedingly well so far. Just the two points separate these two and they sit in the 2nd and 3rd position respectively. The side which wins the game tonight has a chance to go on top. Who will come out on top?

... MATCH DAY ...
