23:15 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Rajasthan win

Last over now. Coulter-Nile bowls a no ball and he walks out injured. Not something that you want to see. Someone has to finish this over for him. Parag will finish the over. Free hit yields a catch. That`s a four now and Markram gets his 50. That`s a six in te next ball. That`s all over. Rajasthan Royals defeat Hyderabad by 61 runs.

💜👏 ROYAL VICTORY! A complete one-sided affair in favour of RR tonight. Hyderabad batters stood no chance against Chahal`s spin and Prasidh`s fiery pace! 🧐 A team defending has finally won this season! 📸 IPL • #SRHvRR#RRvSRH#IPL#IPL2022#TATAIPL#BharatArmypic.twitter.com/MIv3N4UbNo

— The Bharat Army (@thebharatarmy) March 29, 202223:04 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Washington departs

Two overs more to go and Hyderabad have finally turned up the heat. A six and a four by Markram to end 18th over. That`s a four and a six off the 19th over by Sundar. 50 partnership up for these two. And that`s it. He`s gone!!! Boult gets his man. Hyderabad lose their 7th wicket!!! SRH 133/7 after 18.5 overs.

22:55 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Sundar hammers Coulter-Nile

That`s 3 fours and 1 six off Coulter-Nile`s over by Washington Sundar. What an over for Sunrisers as 100 comes up. Might be a little too late but they aren`t stopping. SRH 105/6 after 17 overs.

22:45 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: BOWLED!!!!!

That`s Yuzi`s 3rd wicket. That`s his 250th T20 wicket!!! Shepherd tries to sweep and Chahal has absolutely cleaned him up. What a debut for his new franchise. SRH 78/6 after 15.4 overs.

22:40 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: DOUBLE SIXES!!!

That`s a good hit from Shepherd. Just slams the pull over deep backward square for a sixer. First six of the innings. Another six to finish this over off. Finally some good hits from Hyderabad. 17 off this over. SRH 72/5 after 14 overs.

22:35 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Finally a boundary for Hyderabad

That`s dropped!!! Oh no. Could have been Yuzi`s 3rd. Not to be though. Coulter-Nile drops it. Finally a four from Markram. To deep extra cover. So, they won`t be the team with the lowest IPL total. Now, can they find a way back into this match? Looks very very difficult though. 10 off this over. SRH 55/5 after 13 overs.

22:31 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Hyderabad struggle

Hyderabad need 9 more runs to at least not be the team with the lowest IPL total. That record belongs to RCB when they went down for 49 runs to KKR. Their asking rate is into the twenties now. Just 5 off this over. SRH 44/5 after 12 overs.

22:26 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: OUT!!!!

That`s hit high!! And that should be comfortably taken!!! And it is. Another one goes. That`s the 5th nail on the Hyderabad coffin. Abdul Samad departs for four off Chahal`s delivery. SRH 37/5 after 10.2 overs.

Ashwin to bowl the 10th over and Markram survives a run-out attempt. He dives. There was a review and he makes it. Just 4 runs off this over. Hyderabad struggling. SRH 36/4 after 10 overs.

22:17 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: OUT!!!!

That`s wicket number 4 down!!! Chahal strikes in his first over. Abhishek Sharma departs as he holes one straight to Hetmyer. Hyderabad can`t seem to get out of this quagmire that they find themselves in. SRH 29/4 in 8.2 overs.

Chahal strikes!Picks up his first wicket in the @rajasthanroyals jersey 👌👌Live - https://t.co/WOQ4HjEIEr#SRHvRR#TATAIPLpic.twitter.com/1hfgQk2NVE

— IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) March 29, 202222:14 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Cagey Nicolas just can`t shirk off Boult 🤦🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🔚

What do you do when a wonderful left-arm swing bowler like Trent Boult repeatedly curves the ball away from you outside off stump as a left-handed batsman? Off drive, perhaps even skip down the track to cut down swing, but  Nicolas Pooran chose the good old slog across the line. To no one’s surprise, Pooran didn’t connect even once. Three successive out swingers had him swing and miss. First time he did it, Boult cast a look at midwicket - the area where Pooran was trying for the mini-miracle - and had a quizzical look at the batsman as if he was saying, “really?!’ Two more retakes followed in live time. Perhaps by then convinced that Pooran isn’t going to connect with any of his slogs, Boult got his fourth curve ball to start from the middle stump line. Swing and a miss but the ball crashed into the pad plumb in front. And to think that Pooran was promoted ahead of the regular Test opener Aiden Markram who would have been more at home against swing.

22:12 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: FOUR!!!

Finally a pull shot by Markram that races to the boundary. Coulter-Nile still bowls a decent over. Gives away just 7 off the over. Hyderabad will need more shots like that from Markram if they want to salvage anything out of this match. SRH 21/3 after 7 overs.

22:06 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Powerplay ends

Prasidh to bowl the last over of the powerplay as Hyderabad are struggling to stay alive in this match. Runs are not coming and wickets are falling at regular intervals. Just 1 offv this over. SRH 14/3 after 6 overs.

SRH`s 14-3 today is the joint lowest Powerplay score in IPL history, alongside RR`s 14-2 against RCB back in 2009 - the worst possible start to life without Bairstow and Warner for the side in orange. #IPL2022#SRHvRR

And that looks close and yes!!! That`s been given!! Pooran is caught plumb. Boult comes good again. No surprise that the finger has been raised!!! Hyderabad in deep deep trouble. SRH 9/3 after 4.5 overs.

21:52 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: GONE!!!!

GONE!!!!!! That`s another wicket for Prasidh. Gets a nick off the edge of the bat and is comfortably taken by the wicket keeper. Hyderabad hobbling now. SRH 7/2 after 3.1 overs.

Boult back as the Kiwi duel is cut short after Williamson`s departure. That`s 4 leg byes. Sunrisers can`t catch a break as 3 overs are gone. SRH 4/1 after 3 overs.

21:45 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Williamson departs

Edged and taken!!!! Prasidh gets the big wicket of Williamson. Padikkal takes it. There`s a review though as Williamson stays rooted to his spot. That`s given out. Williamson isn`t happy as he walks off. SRH 3/1 after 1.4 overs.

Go Royals!! #IPL2022pic.twitter.com/VRmvekryCz

— simon hughes (@theanalyst) March 29, 202221:39 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Boult vs Williamson to start

We have a Kiwi duel straight away as Boult bowls to Williamson. That was a big appeal for an LBW by Boult but Royals don`t review. 2 off this over. SRH 2/0 after 1 over

21:37 (IST)29 Mar 2022SRH vs RR: Expensive but exciting is Umar Malik 💰💎🌊✨

We saw the good and the not so good of fast bowler Umran Malik. Malik has a relatively smooth action, is lightning fast but has a tendency to be erratic. A little like when Varun Aaron first came on the scene. The 22-year-old from J&K, is one of the most exciting talents and keeps everyone on the edge of their seat because a wayward delivery can be followed up by a 150kmph-beauty. But the experienced Jos Buttler used the youngster`s raw pace to find the boundary a few times. Buttler slashed and ramped for a 4 and a 6. Malik came back with a fast, short ball which Buttler edged. The catch was put down and Malik had  overstepped anyway. The last ball of Malik`s first over was also hit over backward point for a six by Buttler. He conceded 17 runs.  Yet he recovered from the thrashing and found some good lengths. The ball which Buttler edged was clocked at nearly 150 kmph. Devdutt Padikkal got the better of Malik during their early exchanges. But Malik was too quick for Padikkal who failed to get his bat down in time as the ball moved in from a full lenght and crashed into the stumps.  Two quality wickets, some leaked runs and plenty of pace made for great viewing. Expensive but exciting and worth every penny spent.
