After winning the toss, SRH skipper Pat Cummins opted to bat first. However, they suffered early setbacks due to Starc’s exceptional spell with the new ball. At just 37 runs, SRH had already lost their fourth wicket, but Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma steadied the innings with a crucial 77-run partnership for the fifth wicket. 

Klaasen departed after scoring 32 off 19 balls, but Aniket played a stunning knock, smashing five fours and six sixes. He eventually scored 74 off 41 deliveries, helping SRH post 163 all out in 18.4 overs. Starc returned in the death overs to complete his five-wicket haul, while Kuldeep Yadav impressed with three wickets, and Mohit Sharma added one to his tally.
