SRH 142-3 (12 Ovs) vs LSG 2-5-7 | SCORECARD

Shardul Thakur enters the attack for the first time tonight. Klaasen greets him with a boundary to start things off. The batters then rotate strike, picking up a single each. Klaasen continues to accelerate, finding another boundary and follows it up with a quick single. The over ends with a couple of runs - Kishan was content with one, but Klaasen urged him back for the second. 13 runs come off it - after 11 overs, SRH are 133 for 2, needing 73 from 54 balls.

Rathi returns for his third over, and Klaasen welcomes him with a towering six. He nudges the next ball for a single. Rathi then strikes again - Kishan is bowled for 35 off 28 balls! Out comes the signature notebook celebration from Rathi. This time, though, there's no heated exchange - just a clean dismissal.

Mendis is the new batter, he defends and ends the over with a couple of runs.
