Bhuvneshwar gave victory to Hyderabad on the last ball

Fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar performed brilliantly to give Sunrisers Hyderabad two important points by winning on the last ball, while the wait for top-ranked Rajasthan Royals to reach the playoffs has increased. Hyderabad scored 201 runs for three wickets in 20 overs with the help of Nitish Reddy’s unbeaten 76 runs on 42 balls with the help of three fours and eight sixes and Travis Head’s 58 runs on 44 balls with the help of six fours and three sixes. In reply, Rajasthan, recovering from a bad start, could score 200 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs despite Riyan Parag’s 77 runs and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 67 runs. Rajasthan needed two runs on the last ball, but Bhuvneshwar gave victory to Hyderabad by dismissing Rovman Powell. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took three wickets in this match and played an important role in helping his team win.

Hyderabad won by the smallest margin
This is Hyderabad’s smallest victory in IPL history. Earlier in the same season, the team had defeated Punjab Kings by two runs. Hyderabad’s record in defending the target in IPL 2024 has been excellent and the team has registered five wins out of six while defending the target, while it has faced defeat in one match during this period. This is the second time in IPL that Rajasthan has faced defeat by one run. Earlier, the team was defeated by Delhi Capitals by one run in 2012.

Hyderabad reached top four
This is Rajasthan’s second defeat in 10 matches and it is on top with 16 points. Had Rajasthan been successful in winning this match, it would have qualified for the playoffs, but the team could not do so. On the other hand, Hyderabad team has reached the top four in the table with 12 points. Chennai Super Kings team has slipped to fifth place.
