Visiting team Sunrisers Hyderabad recorded a stunning win in a dramatic last over finish as they beat the hosts Rajasthan Royals on the last ball of the match.
Batting first, riding on some great knocks from both Jos Buttler and captain Sanju Samson, 95 and 66 runs respectively, Rajasthan Royals posted a huge 214 runs on the board.
Chasing the target, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 51 runs for the first wicket. Then wickets kept falling at regular intervals and the match arrived at a situation that Sunrisers Hyderabad required 41 runs to win in the last 2 overs.
At that time, we saw a carnage from a someone who was playing for the first time in IPL 2023 in place of flop Harry Brook, Glenn Phillips.
The Kiwi batter smashed 3 back-to-back Sixes and then a boundary before he was dismissed for 25 runs in 7 balls. It was down to the last over.
SRH batters Marco Jansen and Abdul Samad went close to the chase and they needed a Six on the last ball to win the match. Sandeep Sharma bowled a brilliant Yorker on the last ball of the match, but there was a drama still left in the match.
The third-umpire declared it a no ball and then Abdul Samad hit a brilliant Six of the free hit to win the match. However, it is Glenn Phillips’ inning that made the difference. See how Twitterati reacted.
