SRH 78-1 (5 ovs) vs RR | Scorecard

Jofra Archer comes into the attack in place of Farooqi, who went for 31 runs in two overs.

The first ball is a bit too straight as Head flicks it over square leg for a four. The next ball is short and this time the left-hander pulls it powerfully over square leg for a six to continue SRH's assault in the Powerplay.

Good thinking from Archer as he beats Head with the slower ball as the left-hander has a big swing but misses.

However, he slashes the next ball over point for a four followed by a high bouncer which is ruled a wide for height.

Head continues his swashbuckling approach as he flat bats the length ball from Archer over mid-off for a four and lofts the last ball over mid-on for the fourth boundary of the over.

A horror start for Archer as he concedes 23 runs in his first over.

Head has smashed his way to 41 from 15 balls with SRH racing to 78/1 in five overs.
