Sunrisers Hyderabad batted first and only managed 157 for 8 on a decent batting surface. But it was never going to be enough, as Liam Livingstone shredded a weak SRH attack, scoring 49 not out off 22 balls and smashing the tournament’s 1000th six.
Shikhar Dhawan (39 off 32 balls) and Jitesh Sharma (19 off 7 balls) also contributed significantly to the team’s cause, as the chase was accomplished in 15.1 overs.
The Punjab Kings, who haven’t entered the play-offs since their penultimate participation in 2014, placed sixth in the 10-team tournament, while the Sunrisers finished eighth.
It aided Dhawan’s accumulation game as Punjab continued their all-out assault attitude despite Sunrisers dropping some sitters on the field. Worst of all was Washington Sundar’s blunder, which occurred when Livingstone attempted to strike Jagadeesha Suchit against the turn and offered a dolly at the point.
With Romario Shepherd’s 15th over going for 23 runs, there were far too many on-field blunders. Punjab Kings bowlers had previously shown great restraint, limiting SRH to 157 for 8 in 20 overs.
Arshdeep Singh (0/25 in 4 overs) was the pick of the bowlers, with wickets of Priyam Garg, Rahul Tripathi, and Aiden Markram. Harpreet Brar (3/26 in 4 overs) was the choice of the bowlers, with wickets of Priyam Garg, Rahul Tripathi, and Aiden Markram.
The game had little more than academic intrigue left in it after four qualifiers were already determined on Saturday, and the ‘Orange Army’ appeared tired and more like going through the motions while batting before sprucing up their scores in the final few overs.
