Chasing a huge total, SRH got off to the worst possible start as Prasidh Krishna rattled the top-order. In his very first over, the pacer dismissed Kane Williamson for two as Devdutt Padikkal at first slip took a great catch. Prasidh continued to bowl back-of-a-length deliveries and in the corridor of uncertainty and was soon rewarded with the wicket of Rahul Tripathi as he edged it to Samson.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will play its next match against Lucknow Super Giants on 4th April 2022 while Rajasthan Royals will play against Mumbai Indians on 2nd April 2022.
