Replying to PBKS's 245/6, SRH scored 247/2 in their 18.3 overs, thanks to an exceptional batting performance from Abhishek Sharma coupled with the performances of Travis Head and Harshal Patel.

Mohammed Shami conceded 0/75 in his 4 overs, which was the most expensive for an Indian bowler, and the second most expensive for a bowler in the league's history. A chase of 146 wasn't easy. But Head and Abhishek had other plans.
