Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, it's raining boundaries here in Ahmedabad! From round the wicket, Harshal starts with an overpitched delivery and Sai Sudharsan plays a glorious on-drive.

4.3
Prasidh to Head, out Caught by Rashid Khan!! Superb from Rashid. One of the finest catches in the outfield this season. He dived to his right after running a few yards, a little bit of a slide and taken. That was short, not much room, Head sent the ball skywards on the pull but the ball never scaled much distance and Rashid at deep mid managed to cover some ground and then grab it. Good catches turn the game around and we might have seen something like that right now. Prasidh comes into the attack and delivers. The dangerous Head is gone.

Head c Rashid Khan b Prasidh 20(16) [4s-4]

4.4
Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, misfield and four! misfield and four! Harshal Patel isn't happy. Length ball outside off, it's the cutter, Sai Sudharsan waits and late-cuts it between short third man and backward point. The fielder at short third man slides to his left and makes a mess of it

4.5
Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, hit-me ball and Sai Sudharsan pounces. A juicy full toss and Sai Sudharsan heaves it away over midwicket for a one-bounce four

4.6
Harshal Patel to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, another big over! Hip-high short of a good length ball at 118.9kph, Sai Sudharsan swivels across and pulls it square of the man at 45. 18 runs off the over

5.2
Unadkat to Shubman Gill, FOUR, slower ball into the wicket, Gill pulls it square of the short fine leg fielder. Shami gives the chase
5.1
Unadkat to Shubman Gill, FOUR, Unadkat comes back and concedes a boundary. Trademark Shubman Gill shot. Short of length, Gill spots the length early, waits for it and short-arm-jabs it through midwicket. Beautiful timing

Zeeshan Ansari to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Klaasen!! Zeeshan Ansari strikes! SRH badly needed this wicket. Quick googly wide of off, Sai Sudharsan spots it and goes back to late-dab it. Almost off the bat-face and Klaasen - the keeper - doesn't err. Sudharsan misses his 6th fifty of this season by a couple of runs.

9.1
Shami to Shubman Gill, FOUR, full outside off, Gill shapes to hoick it across the line and drags it over midwicket. Abhishek sprints across from long-on, dives and flicks it back into play with his right hand. And then, he tries to push it away with his left hand. At that point, his right leg/pant may have made contact with the boundary rope. The TV umpire rules it as a boundary

9.3
Shami to Buttler, SIX, wow! 137.8kph, length ball marginally outside off, Buttler shuffles across and superbly scoops it over fine leg. Right off the middle of the bat

9.5
Shami to Shubman Gill, FOUR, fifty for captain Gill! His 25th in IPL. Jogs down the pitch, converts the full ball into a half-volley, moves leg-side to access the off-side and squeeze-drives it through extra cover. Three fifties in a row, fifth this season

Siraj to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, not someone who will waste too much of time. Comes down, backs away and lofts it over wide long-off. That was hit so hard by Abhishek Sharma and Siraj under pressure straightaway

14.6
Ishant to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Siraj!! Is that the game? The home crowd certainly believe so as the blue flags are being waved around the ground. A fine knock comes to an end and the partnership is also broken. Once again back of a length delivery and Abhishek can't quite get under the pull, gets it high on the bat and the ball goes straight up into the leg-side field,

Siraj to Aniket Verma, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! Wickets tumbling now. Siraj picks up his first of the game. Bangs it into short of length and rushes Aniket on the cross-batted shot, he gets it high on the bat and the ball flies towards long-on, simple catch for Shahrukh. Gujarat Titans are on their way to a big win here..

Siraj to Kamindu Mendis, out Caught by Buttler!! Two in two for Siraj. He's on a hat-trick. Superb catch by Buttler! Kamindu departs without troubling the scorers. Short ball around leg, Kamindu has no option but to take it on, the ball gets big on him and he gloves it behind, Buttler flies to his right and hangs onto a terrific catch.
