Scorecard:

Powerplay (Overs 1–6)

GT chased off and scored 40 runs in a disciplined manner in the powerplay. The initial stand was broken soon after but Sudharsan was able to stabilize the game with maturity against a well-behaved SRH brand of new-ball attack spearheaded by Pat Cummins.

Middle Overs (7–15)

Sudharsan played the anchor role through the middle phase, picking off boundaries at the right moments. His 61 off 44 gave GT the platform they needed. Partnerships were rebuilt steadily, keeping the asking rate manageable for death-over finishers.

Death Overs (16–20)

Washington Sundar’s unbeaten 50 off 33 balls transformed the innings in the final overs. His clean hitting pushed GT past 160, a total that proved highly competitive on a Narendra Modi Stadium surface offering decent pace and bounce.
