GT control wild SRH at home

Gujarat Titans defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets on Sunday (March 31). They overcome the setback to Chennai Super Kings with to a disciplined effort with the ball and a team effort at bat. David Miller’s comeback to form highlighted it. Sai Sudharsan (45 off 36) and David Miller (44* off 27) are top-scored for GT. It needed 19.1 overs to accomplish the goal after the potent SRH batting order was limited to 162/8. The fact that there was not a single fifty in the match prolonged GT’s quest for a half-century score this year.

How Miller crossed the line with GT

With Miller scoring just 13 runs out of 16 overs, the equation was 49 off the last five overs on a sluggish pitch where boundary droughts were frequent throughout the match. David Miller, however, is a different animal in run-chases; before to this game, he had three fifty-score innings and an average of over 56 in the second inning since the IPL 2021. To finish the game for GT, he made all of that experience evident.

Miller and Sudharsan shared a 64-run partnership off 42 balls. 24 of those runs came off Mayank Markande’s single over. It reduced the equation  to 25 off four overs. It is when Miller and Sudharsan each smashed two fours and a six in the over. Although Cummins removed Sudharsan in the 17th over, Miller struck two fours. Vijay Shankar then brought them closer with two fours off Jaydev Unadkat. Even though Cummins’ 19th over yielded just six runs, GT just required a single in the last over. David Miller completed by hitting a six off Unadkat.

The beginning of the pursuit

SRH got off to a quick start thanks to Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill, who were attempting to take advantage of the powerplay as much as they could. Between them, the opening batsmen hit two fours, then Saha added two sixes, one off of Shahbaz and one off of Unadkat. After switching ends, the left-arm spinner was able to get Saha to gift him a straightforward catch at midfield. GT concluded with 52/1 in the powerplay. Gill hit his maiden six off one over extra cover. Sudharsan hit a four off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the same over.

SRH spinners applied brakes

Before Gill hit one off Washington, Markande and Washington Sundar bowled in unison for a few overs. They cut out the boundaries. But in the following over, Markande got the key wicket of the captain. It is when the batsman was unable to clear Samad at long-on.  He left GT at 78/2 at halftime. In the eleventh over, SRH skipper Cummins finally went on the attack and conceded just five runs. As the boundaries began to close once more, Sudharsan broke free first hitting a four off a drive over Unadkat’s head. Then a beautifully placed ball off Cummins beyond the short third man. The needed pace increased to over ten runs per over in the fifteenth over. But Bhuvneshwar gave up just six runs, and Miller handled
