Eshan Malinga, who has been expensive today against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, was trusted by the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins in the 16th over, and he did not let him down. A straight hit run out at first and then a catch of his own ball. In the fifth ball, Rajat Patidar had a mix-up with Jitesh Sharma and got stuck in the middle. Eshan ran after the ball, utilized the blink, and hit the bullseye. The second wicket of the over fell on the sixth ball as Eshan bowled a lethal slower ball and Romario Shephard misjudged it and got dismissed. Eshan delivered the ball full and on middle, just as Shepherd backed away. With no timing or placement, Shepherd chipped it straight back to Malinga’s left, who completed the return catch.
