In an electrifying display of clout, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) recorded the fastest run-chase in IPL history, staggering Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) with a comfortable 10-wicket win in match 57 of IPL 2024. This historic match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium witnessed a spectacular batting show that left fans and critics alike in awe.
Batting performance of Lucknow Super Giants:
After winning the toss and electing to bat first, LSG posted a respectable total of 165/4 in their allotted 20 overs. Nicholas Pooran And Ayush Badoni were the outstanding performers with 48 and 55 runs respectively. Pooran’s innings included six fours and a six, while Badoni excelled with nine boundaries. However, despite solid contributions, the total ultimately proved insufficient against the formidable SRH line-up.
SRH’s bowling attack was led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar who delivered an economical performance in his four overs, taking two wickets for just 12 runs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad record hunt:
In response, SRH opened Travis Head And Abhishek Sharma launched an all-out attack on the LSG bowlers. The head hit 89 runs off just 30 balls, including eight fours and eight sixes, while Sharma contributed a quick 75 off 28 balls, including eight fours and six sixes. Together, they raced to the target in just 9.4 overs without losing a single wicket, marking the fastest run-chase in IPL history.
