Akash Deep returns for the 17th over. Klaasen taps one for a single, and Mendis follows with a drive down the ground for another. The batters continue to rotate strike well, picking up singles and twos. 8 runs come off the over, and after 17 overs, SRH are 187 for 3, needing 19 from 18 balls.
Shardul Thakur is back for his final over. Klaasen starts aggressively, smashing back-to-back boundaries to reduce the equation quickly. But Thakur hits back - a faint edge is suspected, Pant is confident, and review taken. UltraEdge confirms the edge - Klaasen is gone for a lively 47 off 28 balls.
Aniket Verma enters at No. 6 with 11 needed off 15 balls. He gets off the mark with a single.
Mendis takes a risky single and is lucky to make his ground. Pooran has a shy at the stumps but misses. However, after the run, Mendis clutches his hamstring, clearly in discomfort. Rathi sprints to his right from deep third, dives full stretch, and lands awkwardly on his left shoulder. He walks off the field in pain.
Adding to SRH's injury concerns, Kamindu is also down on the ground and is now receiving attention from the physio. Some tense moments for Sunrisers as both batters show signs of physical trouble at a critical stage.
Kamindu limps off, retired hurt. Nitish Reddy strides in. He is off the mark with a boundary.
