SRH 34-4 (6 Ovs) vs GT 168-5 | SCORECARD

Mohammed Siraj continues his tight spell and immediately tests Smaran, who is beaten by a sharp delivery before digging in to defend the next few balls. He eventually nudges one away to deep backward point for a single.

It's another disciplined over from Gujarat Titans--just 1 run from it--as Sunrisers Hyderabad crawl to 30 for 3 after 5 overs, still needing 139 off 90 balls.

Then Kagiso Rabada returns and turns the screw further. He beats Smaran with a beauty, then keeps things tight as pressure builds. There's a moment of chaos when Mohammed Siraj misjudges a chance and puts one down, giving Smaran a brief lifeline. Klaasen also picks up a single as SRH try to rebuild.

But Rabada has the final say.

He traps Smaran into a loose shot off a slot ball outside off--Smaran goes after it but doesn't get enough elevation. Shubman Gill settles under it safely at cover and completes the catch.

Smaran departs for 9 off 15 balls.

Rabada roars in celebration as Sunrisers Hyderabad sink deeper into trouble.

Salil Arora is the new batter and he is off the mark with a couple of runs.
