Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 62nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The SRH rocket never took off this season. Plenty of promise, but lacked punch during crunch moments of the tournament and therefore stand eliminated from IPL 2023. Chopping and changing, Indian talents misfiring and lacking game awareness while chasing cost them quite a few games. As for the Titans, they are flying high and fittingly seal the top spot for now. Only Mumbai Indians have a chance of displacing them at the top. But for that, they will have to win against Lucknow Super Giants tomorrow and hope for some of the results to go their way. Cracker of a contest that. We can't wait to bring you all the action from Lucknow. As ever, remember to check this space for all the latest in cricket. Until next time, cheers and goodbye from Raju Peethala, Abhinand Raghavendran, Abhinav Guha and Venkatesh AV.

Shubman Gill | Player of the Match: I made my IPL debut against SRH and got my first hundred against them, so life has come a full circle. Hopefully many more to come. It's all about the bowlers and situation and I don't dwell much on my last innings. It is important to focus on the situation in front. The six off Abhishek Sharma was the most pleasing thing for me. I told him that if you bowl to me I'm gonna hit you for a six. (ICYMI: Gill and Abhishek Sharma open for Punjab in domestic T20 cricket).

Hardik Pandya | GT skipper: Very proud of the boys, two in two (making it to the playoffs twice in a row). The boys put their hands up and in challenging situations and we rightly deserve the playoff spot. There will be expectations and for me it was important to focus within the group. We ticked a lot of good boxes, we made a lot of errors but we were always there in the game and tried to stay consistent. Bowlers are very close to my heart. Sometimes batters take a lot of credit, for me I will always be a bowler's captain and ensure they get due credit they very much deserve.

17 wickets by pace bowlers in this match is the most ever in an IPL match

Mohammed Shami: I was focusing on my strengths and trying to keep it tight. I always try to bowl in good areas. Just like the game against Delhi, the ball was moving off the deck. It's very good to have a pacer like Mohit Sharma in the middle overs who uses the variations smartly.

Aiden Markram | SRH skipper: We were in the game at the halfway mark but when you lose four wickets in the powerplay, it becomes difficult. (On their bowling) We were slightly off, to be honest. We've got high-class bowlers who can swing the ball. Shubman's innings was incredible and so did their number three. We stuck in there and credit goes to Bhuvi to show us how it's done. (On Klaasen) He's a great player and I'm very happy for him, the world can see the class and power he's got. The rest of us haven't assisted him. It's tough for him to be on the losing side after performing the way he has. (On their remaining two games) A lot of pride for us to play for. We'll try to give some opportunities if we're allowed to. It'll be nice to finish off the tournament in good spirits but unfortunately, we haven't been good enough in the tournament this year. When a team is one down in the backend, it can go either of the two ways. It was important to break the partnership and Bhuvi did that for us. He's been exceptional for us and Nattu as well.

23:23 local, 17:53 GMT - Gujarat Titans are through to the playoffs and are assured a top-two finish as well: A scintillating hundred. A fifer. Two pacers from the same team claiming a four-fer each. A fighting fifty. We have seen it all tonight. And when you lose 6 wickets inside 7 overs chasing 188, the game is pretty much done and dusted. Though Klaasen and Bhuvi stitched a 68-run stand for the 8th wicket, it was just a little piece of consolation in an otherwise sorry batting card from the visitors. First up, Shami broke the back of the chase by removing three of SRH's top four in the powerplay and Mohit Sharma got rid of the big hitters in the 7th over. There wasn't much on offer for the spinners tonight, but the dimensions did play a part as both teams struggled to hit sixes and ended up offering a lot of catches to the fielders in the deep.
