With an effort that sealed his side the victory when his side was in trouble, Nitish Kumar Reddy has been awarded player of the match for scoring 64 from just 37 balls with four fours and five sixes while batting at a strike rate of 172. With the ball, he deliveries three overs and picked the wicket of Jitesh Sharma at a crucial stage.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Summary
That was another close game in this IPL 2024 with two sides desperate for victory. SRH were asked to bat first and they didn't had a great start with Travis Head and Aiden Markram departing early. A few runs here and there but wickets kept falling at regular intervals until Nitish Reddy turned the tide with a blazing 64 and some contributions from the lower order propelled them to 182.

In reply, Punjab were in deep trouble right from the start with three down in no time. The middle-order including Sikandar Raza and Sam Curran did their bit but couldn't force Hyderabad to re-think of their strategy until Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma arrived at the centre finding boundaries after boundaries to take the match as close as they could have but couldn't finish it off with SRH winning by two runs.

PBKS 180/6 (20) Ohhhhhh!! What a game of cricket! We cannot believe it. Where is SunRisers' Fielding coach? Three drop catches in the final over. Are you kidding me? 26 runs scored!! SunRisers won by just, just 2 runs...! Phew..! Unadkat bowled well but didn't got the support on the field. This match was long gone but again Shashank and Ashutosh were looking to defy the odds. However, they fell just short. Credit to Pat Cummins for keeping his cool and guiding Unadkat despite such miserable effort on the field made the game tense.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Natarajan Delivers Under Pressure
PBKS 154/6 (19) Excellent over from Natarajan. Just 10 off it. 29 from the last six. Jaydev Unadkat with the final over. Can Ashutosh deliver or will Unadkat hold his nerve?
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Ashutosh Joins The Party
PBKS 144/6 (18) Eleven off the Pat Cummins over who finishes his tremendous spell on 1/22. Btw, Ashutosh is doing his bit at the other end with two boundaries in the over. Hmmm...39 off 12. Possible?

PBKS 133/6 (17) Outstanding batting from Shashank Singh. Fabulous. Gutsy. Audacious. The man is character. He is not giving up. Can we see a repeat of the last game?

PBKS 114/6 (15.3) He was living dangerously, Jitesh and it was not log before he was caught. Abhishek Sharma with a brilliant catch and guess what, Nitish Reddy is with the ball this time. His good day becoming great. Punjab falling behind now.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Game Going Away from Punjab's Sight
PBKS 105/5 (15) Not going to give you false hope. 78 in 30 balls look far away even if Shashank and Jitesh do something extraordinary.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Raza's Poor Shot Brings His DownFall

PBKS 91/5 (13.1) Wickets falling at the wrong time in this game have troubled both these sides and Punjab are at the receiving end now. Sikandar Raza is looking to find boundaries and succumbs to the pressure with a false stroke. This game is far-fetched now for them.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Sikandar Raza Gives Punjab Little Hope With Regular Strikes
PBKS 84/4 (12) Some good ball striking from the Zimbabwean Sikandar Raza. Two sixes so far to his name. Still a long job. But they need some hope and Raza brings it with him. Shashank Singh partners him at the other end. 99 runs from 48 balls.

PBKS 58/4 (9.1) Ohhhh!! Pat Cummins. You superman! How did you do that? It was definitely going over his head but he is Cummins. He ran backwards and grabbed a stunner. Sam Curran cannot believe it. No can either. The commentators are in shock. Just like the entire stadium which he has just been silenced.

PBKS 40/3 (7) So, Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza have decided that enough is enough and they are not going down without a fight. Nitish Reddy was tonked away for three boundaries. Can they continue doing that? Time will tell.

PBKS 20/3 (5) That is top-class from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. They are three down now. Three down. Heinrich Klaasen does it brilliantly behind the stumps as he whips the bails off in a flash. And Punjab skipper Shikhar Dhawan is stumped! He was dropped two deliveries back by Abdul Samad at slips but comes back again with a beauty. The ball is swinging and so is this game!
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Impact Player Prabhsimran Returns Impactless
PBKS 11/2 (3) Bhuvi with the ball is a delight to watch. He has been consistent with his line and lengths. Prabhsimran was looking aggressive with a boundary but couldn't stay longer.

The light show is going on at the venue right now. Alright, the light show is done and the players are strolling out to the middle. Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow walk out to open the innings for the Kings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will start the proceedings with the new ball for SRH.

That should have been Punjab's innings, had Nitish Reddy not been there. 64 to his name and they get 182 on the board. Despite some early movement and four Arshdeep Singh's four wickets, SRH were desperate to get a good total on the board and they have definitely got it. Abdul Samad struck few blows in the middle phase as Heinrich Klaasen miserably failed. If there is movement in the second innings, PBKS will find it difficult. Stay Tuned.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: SRH Finish On 182 After Last Ball Drop
SRH 182/9 (20) They were on course to finish well but the last ball went away for six through the hands of Harshal Patel. Sam Curran bowled well in this over with a wicket of Bhuvi but his spell was ruined by that drop.

Heinrich Klaasen (Source: IPL)
SRH 171/8 (19) Atleast, not for tonight!

SRH 151/7 (16.5) The game has changed again. Arshdeep Singh is the name of the lightning that is striking SRH regularly. Another over where two wickets have fallen. Not just any two but Abdul Samad and Nitish Reddy, the batters who were quite set and were going after the bowlers. Arsh has got four in the wickets column. Nitish gets 64 after his name. This is game changing, though.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Nitish Reddy Clocks Fifty With A Six
SRH 132/5 (15) Nitish Reddy is making heads (Not Travis Head) turn with those kind of shots. Gets to his fifty in style. He is putting on a show tonight. The lone warrior for SRH. Harpreet Brar slammed for 4, 6, 4, 6. Wow! He is a fighter, for sure. Abdul Samad is getting some boundaries too.

SRH 100/5 (13.1) There is no way in this world Punjab Kings will celebrate more than this. Because when you get Heinrich Klaasen this cheaply then you deserve to celebrate. He played a loose shot against Harshal Patel to long-on and knew it immediately. SRH are counting the wickets now!
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Klaasen At The Crease But Reddy Is Striking Big
SRH 100/4 (13) Nitish Reddy is making a name for himself with some big shots. He is batting on 40. And getting the ball to middle. Heinrich Klaasen is waiting for the right deliveries.

SRH 65/4 (9.4) Now, surely they don't want to miss any other chances. Punjab took the review this time and it turned out in their favour. Rahul Tripathi goes back thinking he shouldn't have tried playing that. Sam Curran and Harshal Patel, the bowler were confident. If we were to think of it, PBKS are just bowling decent lines. It's the SRH batters who are throwing it away.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Punjab Continue To Squeeze SRH Batters
SRH 56/3 (8) The run-rate has gone down and Punjab will feel they are ahead at the moment. Rahul Tripathi and Nitish Reddy are out in the middle trying to steady the ship. Punjab have been decent with their line and lengths.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Shera Di Kaum Punjabi đŸ’ª
SRH have called in an impact substitute in form of Rahul Tripathi. Travis Head is subbed out after just five overs in the game (And some say Government Job is better).

SRH 39/3 (5) Now, the point is Abhishek Sharma wanted to dominate against Sam Curran and he was doing that until he found covers on the final delivery. Already a six and a four on the previous two balls. Was getting overly aggressive.

SRH 27/2 (3.4) Aiden Markram has edged it? Yesss. Arshdeep Singh gets another one. Two in the over. Punjab are bossing now, all of a sudden. That's another massive wicket though. What was he thinking there, btw?

SRH 27/1 (3.2) That's Travis Head gone! Good catch running backwards from Shikhar Dhawan. Huge moment in the game. They should have got this wicket before but anyway, they have got it now.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Travis Head Puts On The Fourth Gear, Goes 4, 4, 4
SRH 26/0 (3) 16 runs from this over and Head will be pleased because he thrashed KG Rabada for three consecutive fours. There is swing? There is movement? Head doesn't care.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Beauty After Beauties From Rabada But Still No Luck
SRH 4/0 (1) That was an exceptional over from Kagiso Rabada. Almost had Travis Head but they didn't went up. Swing and movement from the Proteas bowler. Head was clueless on most occasions.
PBKS vs SRH Live Score: Players Walk Out, Another Big Total By SRH?
We are all set for the live-action to begin. The on-field umpires make their way out to the middle and are being followed by the players from both sides. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma to open for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. It will be Kagiso Rabada who will be starting the proceedings with the new ball for the Punjab Kings. Can they cross 200 again tonight, SRH?
