Shashank's cutters stun SRH openers as PBKS chase down 220
Shashank Singh, that part-timer, grabs 2 for 20 and wrecks the 105-run powerplay blast from Head and Abhishek. Sets the stage perfectly.
Punjab Kings nicked a pulsating 6-wicket chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad right there at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. SRH's openers Abhishek Sharma, blasting 74 off 28 balls, and Travis Head, 38 off 23, tore into the powerplay for 105 runs—looked like 250 was on. Shreyas Iyer, though, pulled a clever trick. Part-timer Shashank Singh.
He clocked 120kph with cutters in that key over. Ended up 3-20-2. SRH stopped at 219/6. Arshdeep Singh chipped in 4-50-2.
PBKS openers Priyansh Arya (57 off 20) and Prabhsimran Singh (51 off 25) rattled up 99 in reply. Iyer's unbeaten 69 off 33 got them over the line in 18.5 overs. Follows their rain-washed no-result with KKR.
SRH now two losses deep. They fell 5 wickets short to LSG last time, scraping 156/9.
