Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh almost pulled off another incredible comeback for Punjab Kings, but fell short by 2 runs.
The final over was a crazy one with dropped catches, wides, and sixes, but SRH ultimately held on.
Nitish Reddy's maiden IPL fifty (64 off 37 balls) helped SRH recover from a disastrous start (40/3 after powerplay) and post a total of 182/9.
PBKS also had a poor start (27/3 after powerplay) but a late fightback from Shashank Singh (46* off 25) and Ashutosh Sharma (33* off 15) almost sealed the win.
Praised Shashank and Ashutosh, but rued missed opportunities in the first 6 overs.
Happy with the narrow win and praised Nitish's all-around performance.
