Chasing a target of 166 runs in T20, how many overs can a team win by losing how many wickets? Anyone would be surprised to hear such a question. It should take at least 14-15 overs to score 166 runs. A couple of wickets should also fall.

But if you haven’t watched the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants, then let me tell you, looking at the scorecards can be simply unbelievable. Think, someone might have made a mistake in writing the score. But the facts are true. Chasing 166 runs, Sunrisers Hyderabad won in just 9.4 overs.

In other words, they reached the target of victory without losing any wicket after playing only 58 balls. The rampage that two openers, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, have unleashed on the Lucknow bowlers is unbelievable.

Travis Head completed his half century in just 16 balls. Abhishek Sharma scored a half century off 19 balls. In the end, Travis Head was unbeaten on 89 off 30 balls. He hit 8 boundaries and sixes. In other words, he scored 80 out of 89 runs by hitting boundaries and over boundaries.

Abhishek Sharma was unbeaten on 75 off 28 balls. He hit 6 sixes with 8 boundaries. His 68 runs came from fours and sixes. Hyderabad’s two openers scored 100 runs in just 34 balls and 150 runs in just 50 balls.

Earlier, Lucknow Super Giants scored 165 runs after losing 4 wickets after winning the toss at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi Stadium. Ayush Badoni scored 55 runs off 30 balls and Nicholas Pooran remained unbeaten on 48 runs off 26 balls. Lokesh Rahul scored 29 runs off 33 balls.

With this victory, Sunrisers Hyderabad has reached the third position with 14 points in 12 matches. Kolkata Knight Riders are at the top with 16 points from 11 matches and Rajasthan Royals are in second place. Lucknow is in 6th place with 12 points from 12 matches.
