In the match played between Gujarat and Hyderabad on Monday, SRH performed brilliantly and won the match by 8 wickets. Gujarat lost the first match this season. Lockie Ferguson was the biggest responsible for this defeat.

 

Ferguson's poor bowling in the last over of the power play

 

Ferguson gave away 46 runs in 4 overs in the match. He was very expensive and wasted runs at an economy of 12. In the power-play, when the rest of the bowlers were putting pressure on the batsmen by bowling brilliantly, then Ferguson gave four fours in the sixth over. This player was instrumental in Gujarat's victory in the last three matches, but against SRH, he did not look amazing with the ball. Kane Williamson and Abhishek Sharma were not set for 5 overs. They were playing very carefully.

 

Hardik handed over the bowling to Lockie so that he could take out the wicket. Hardik's bet backfired and Abhishek Sharma hit 4 fours in the last over of the power-play. After this both the batsmen were set. Abhishek scored 42 and captain Williamson 57 in the match.

 

Hardik remembered again and Lockie disappointed

 

Hardik Pandya, the captain of the Gujarat team, looking for wickets, once again remembered Ferguson in the 16th over, but the Gujarat team was disappointed here too. In this over of Ferguson, Williamson hit a six and a four. He didn't even get any wicket.

 

In the 18th over too, Ferguson bowled even worse and gave away 15 runs. This time Pooran hit him for a six and a four. The performance that the team expected from this player, Lockie could not perform.

 

Gujarat had given a target of 163 runs.

 

Gujarat had set a target of 163 runs in front of SRH, which the team achieved at the loss of 2 wickets. Captain Kane Williamson (57) was the top scorer. This is the second consecutive win for SRH in the tournament. The team has played 4 matches so far, in which 2 have won and 2 have been lost. At the same time, this was the first defeat after three consecutive victories of Gujarat Titans.

 

Earlier, GT had scored 162 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Hardik Pandya played the highest innings of 50 not out. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan had 2-2 wickets in the account for SRH.
