On Sunday in the IPL 2023 match in Jaipur, Abdul Samad's final over blitz helped Sunrisers Hyderabad defeat Rajasthan Royals by four wickets. When 17 was needed in six balls, Sandeep Sharma appeared to be driving Rajasthan home once more, but he overstepped in the final delivery, giving SRH a second chance, which they took full advantage of. Samad then put an end to the match with a six, slamming a full delivery clean over the pacer as SRH came in at 217/6 in response to Rajasthan's 214/2. Along with Samad, Glenn Phillips scored 25 runs off seven balls, blasting three sixes and a boundary in Kuldip Yadav's penultimate over.
Rahul Tripathi hit 47 in 29 balls, and Henrich Klaasen contributed a pivotal knock of 26 in 12 balls. In the 215-run chase with Anmolpreet Singh, Abhishek Sharma blasted a half-century to give Sunrisers Hyderabad a respectable start. Before Yuzvendra Chahal gave the hosts their first success, the pair had accumulated 51 runs. Anmolpreet Singh left for 33 (25), and Yuzvendra Chahal then removed him for the first breakthrough for the hosts. In his next three overs, Chahal added three more wickets, but not before giving up 29 runs.
Rajasthan elected to bat first, and Jos Buttler, who had been struggling lately, returned to form by hitting a 59-ball 95 to help the team to an amazing 214/2 in 20 overs. In his inning, Buttler hit 10 fours and four sixes. His captain, Sanju Samson, who was undefeated at 66 (38), provided outstanding support. Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal helped Rajasthan get off to a quick start, and they went on to put up a run-scoring partnership for the second wicket of 138 runs.
