Samad, Phillips steal the show in blockbuster run-chase
In one of the more thrilling finishes of recent times, bottom-ranked SRH pulled off a midnight heist against the Rajasthan Royals, chasing down 215 off the final ball. With five runs required off the final ball, Sandeep Sharma of Rajasthan Royals bowled a no-ball, allowing Abdul Samad a second chance to seal a win for SRH, which he did, smashing a straight six and breathing some air into SRH’s deflated campaign.

Rajasthan Royals 214-2 in 20 overs (Jos Buttler 95, Sanju Samson 66*) lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad 217-6 (Abhishek Sharma 55, Rahul Tripathi 47, Yuzvendra Chahal 4-29) by 4 wickets.
