Rajasthan lost by 36 runs Star batsman flops
New Delhi. Sunrisers Hyderabad has reached the final of IPL 2024 by defeating Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan had to face defeat by 36 runs in the Qualifier 2 match played in Chennai. After the defeat, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said that his bowlers bowled well but the batsmen did not perform as expected in the middle overs. Rajasthan Royals batsmen could not do wonders in this important match. From Sanju Samson to Riyan Parag, everyone returned to the pavilion cheaply.
Chasing the target of 176 runs set by Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals (RR vs SRH) could only score 139 runs for seven wickets despite excellent innings from Dhruv Jurel (56 not out in 35 balls, seven fours, two sixes) and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (42). For Sunrisers, Shahbaz Ahmed took three wickets for 23 runs while Abhishek Sharma took two wickets for 24 runs.
Earlier, Sunrisers scored 175 runs for nine wickets with the help of Heinrich Klaasen's half-century (50 runs in 34 balls with the help of four sixes). Sanju Samson said after the match, 'We are proud of our bowlers but we could not play as expected in the middle overs. There was no dew during the match, which made the job easier for the Sunrisers bowlers.' Samson said that it is very difficult to predict when the dew will fall and when it will not.
He said, 'It is very difficult to predict whether dew will fall or not. The pitch behaved differently in the second innings, the ball was turning. They used spin very well against our right-handed batsmen.' Samson also praised Dhruv Jurel and Riyan Parag who performed well throughout the tournament.
