During the clash between SunRisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, the Pat Cummins-led side surpassed the Royal Challengers Bengaluru side to become the team with the most sixes in T20 series. Fiery knocks from Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen guided the Sunrisers Hyderabad to chase down 215 against Punjab Kings with five balls to spare at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.
The big-hitting Jake Fraser McGurk and Matthew Short are likely to be Australia's travelling reserves for the T20 World Cup which begins on June 1 in the Americas. The 22-year-old McGurk has been in blazing form for Delhi Capitals in the IPL. But the top-order batter, who is yet to make his T20I debut, missed out on the 15-member provisional squad because Australia already have an established top three in David Warner, Travis Head and captain Mitchell Marsh. Batting all-rounder Short, on the other hand, played nine of Australia's last 14 T20Is, opening in five of them and he was also the Big Bash League player of the tournament in back-to-back seasons. ]"Australia's chair of selectors George Bailey had suggested that Australia would carry just one reserve to the Caribbean when the provisional squad was announced, but they are likely to add a second with the in-form Fraser-McGurk set to be named alongside Short," ESPNCricinfo reported.
Batting at a strike rate of 209.41 this IPL season, Abhishek Sharma on Sunday received the biggest compliment of his life when premier pacer Pat Cummins said he wouldn't like to bowl at the explosive left-hander as "it's scary". In the ongoing edition of the league, Abhishek has put fear in the minds of bowlers, including Cummins, his skipper at Sunrisers Hyderabad. He blazed away to a 28-ball 66 in SRH's four-wicket win over Punjab Kings. The young left-hander hit six sixes and five fours as SRH shot down Punjab Kings' target of 215 with five balls to spare.
Australian skipper Pat Cummins opened up about his role in England batter Jonny Bairstow's controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test last year, which proved to be a turning point in the series, igniting England's motivation to bounce back from a scoreline of 0-2 to draw the series 2-2. During the second Test of the Ashes series back in July last year, Bairstow was stumped by wicketkeeper Alex Carey for just 10 runs in a run-chase of 371 runs. The stumping was done when Bairstow had stepped outside his crease, assuming that the ball was dead after he ducked it.
Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins appeared in a relaxed mood a day after his side booked their spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs on Thursday. SRH became the third team along with Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals to book their spot in the Top 4 after their match against Gujarat Titans was abandoned due to rain. In a video that has already gone viral on social media, Cummins was seen enjoying a game of cricket with school kids. Cummins has emerged as a favourite among SRH fans after guiding them to the playoffs thanks to explosive batting performances from top-order stars.
SRH vs PBKS Live Updates, IPL 2024: Uncapped India batter Atharva Taide smashed a huge six off Bhuvneshwar Kumar as Punjab Kings ended the powerplay on a dominating note. Both Taide and Prabhsimran Singh have given Punjab Kings a good start against Sunrisers Hyderabad. On the other hand, SRH bowlers are eyeing some quick wickets. SRH pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar will aim to complete his 300 wickets in T20 cricket. He is just one wicket away from the feat. Punjab Kings stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their final league stage match of IPL 2024 on Sunday in Hyderabad. As all the England players have left for national duty, PBKS will be only having the services of batter Rilee Rossouw as the overseas player in the lineup. (Live Scorecard) (IPL 2024 Points Table)
The IPL 2024 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans got washed out due to heavy rain in Hyderabad on Thursday. This resulted in SRH acquiring the third place and getting qualified for the playoffs. This was GT's second match in the same week, which got abandoned due to rain. Earlier, their match against Kolkata Knight Riders was called-off due to relentless rain in Ahmedabad. GT, who won the title in 2022 and were the first runners-up in 2023, failed to qualify for the Playoffs this season.
Former Australia batter Matthew Hayden's daughter, Grace, had a fun day out in Hyderabad feasting on local delicacies. Grace, who is a content creator by profession, is currently working as a presenter with Star Sports, the official broadcasters of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The 21-year-old visited the famous 'Paradise Biryani' joint and enjoyed some biryani and khubani-ka-meetha (a dessert prepared with dried apricots as the main ingredient). She had some SRH fans for company, who helped Grace identify Hyderabad's must-have delicacies.
