Sunrisers Hyderabad defeat Lucknow Super Giants by 10 wickets

In the process of their comfortable 10-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday, Sunrisers Hyderabad achieved the quickest chase of a 160-plus mark thanks to the incredible assaults of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, both of whom scored scorching half-centuries.

Head (89 not out, 30 balls, 8x4, 8x6) and Sharma (75 not out, 28 balls, 8x4, 6x6), chasing a very small goal of 166, made a joke of the LSG bowling attack, hitting the fence and clearing the ropes at whim, and winning in only 9.4 overs. With 14 points from 12 games, the sweeping victory propelled SRH to the third position on the points table, while LSG, with 12 points from an equal amount of games, are in a dangerous situation at sixth. The outcome also eliminated the five-time champion Mumbai Indians from the play-off competition. They are now ranked ninth with eight points from 12 games.
