Senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar defeated Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson in his opening over, dealing a double blow to the Rajasthan Royals as they attempted to chase down the enormous total. Before Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed half-centuries to reignite the Royals’ run chase, the older pacer gave Buttler and Samson ducks. T Natarajan and captain Pat Cummins split four wickets to put Hyderabad in the hunt as the hosts staged a late recovery. Then, in the last overs, Rovman Powell used his power hitting to completely flip the tie. Powell was out for 27 from 15 balls, thus his valiant efforts were in vain. With one ball remaining in the match, Bhuvneshwar got the wicket of Powell, who was hitting strongly, in the 20th over, giving Hyderabad a one-run victory.
