SRH vs PBKS Live Score, IPL 2023: SRH win by 8 wickets on the back of a Rahul Tripathi masterclass as Dhawan's effort goes in vain.

SRH vs PBKS Live Score, IPL 2023, Match 14 Updates: SRH chase it down pretty comfortably towards the end. They struggled against the spinners initially but Tripathi took them on and released all the pressure. Marrkam joined in the act and played second fiddle to him. Arshdeep and Chahar were the only wicket-takers and Dhawan ends up on the losing side despite the 99*.

That's all from our end for tonight, we hope you enjoyed the live coverage of this match. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda as we will be back tomorrow with another exciting game of IPL. This is Raghav Tikmany signing off!

We are going to hear from Shikhar Dhawan again as he is also the Player of the Match. Here's what he has to say:
I didn't expect I'd reach there, but I was playing according to the situation. I hope we're happy with my strike rate (chuckles). As a batting unit, we come up with a plan and hope we put up a good total. The wicket played differently, it was seaming and keeping low. It's a learning process for our batting unit. It's better to be still and read the situation. I'm very grateful with 99, I thought I was never going to reach there. It did, I was playing according to the situation. It's a good innings in my kitty!

Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 8 wickets

Here's what Aiden Markram (SRH skipper) has to say:
It was special. I believe that our great fan base was a privilege tonight. To get a win in front of them was very pleasing. Identifying how we can get better was quite important. But it was still about believing in ourselves. So it was to keep believing in the guys. It's not a nice move to make but I'm super happy for Mayank tonight. He bowled incredibly well. He has a lot of heart about him. (Was Tripathi counter-attacking post-Agarwal's wicket a plan or just Tripathi doing Tripathi things?) I think it's the latter. We know his ability and he showed it again tonight. He's always a couple of balls away from doing something special. He's got all the shots. (On his own form) It turned out nicely. It was easier to do it when you've got a guy like Rahul at the other end. We'll take it tonight, we'll take the win. Just the first win so not thinking too much. But a great franchise to be a part of and a great coaching staff.

Here's what Mayank Markande has to say:
I am very grateful for the opportunity I got and that the team management backed me. I'm very happy. This is my role - to take wickets in the middle-overs. So I backed myself to bowl the odd slower one and it worked for me. Since the impact player rule has come in, you always have to be in the game and be prepared. I always talk to Adil bhai (Rashid) about my bowling and it helps me a lot. I have worked quite a bit on my game. Aavishkar Salvi was with me during the red ball season. He has helped me a lot. (Where does he put this performance?) This will be right up there since my team won and I'm happy to contribute.

Here's what the Punjab Kings skipper (Shikhar Dhawan) has to say:
As a batting unit, we lost too many wickets back-to-back and fell short of a good total on this ground. And that's where we lost the game. 175-180 would have been a reasonable score. It looked quite good but it was seaming a bit and it was swinging. (On his spinners) There was not much help over there but it was a good learning for us to analyze where we can get better and come back strong. I'm enjoying the captaincy. I have a very good team and a great bunch of boys. Just taking it day by day. (How much does captaincy impact the way he bats?) It doesn't affect me. Whatever the plan is I follow that plan.

SRH 145/2 (17.1) beat PBKS 143/9 (20)

Shikhar Dhawan 99* (66) | Sam Curran 22 (15) | Mayank Markande 4/15 (4)
Rahul Tripathi 74*(48) | Aiden Markram 37*(21) | Arshdeep Singh 1/20 (3)

It was a pretty comfortable run chase for the Sunrisers toward the end. Chasing 144, they were the clear favourites to win this tie. However, the pitch slowing down and the openers struggling brought Punjab back into the contest. Arshdeep and Curran contained the flow of runs in the powerplay and the spinners took over to build more pressure. At the first timeout, the asking rate was climbing up and Punjab were crawling back into the game.

The timeout did a world of good for the Sunrisers. We could see the complete change in intent. Tripathi was toying with the spinners and dispatching them into the different corners of the park. The asking rate kept coming down and Markram joined the act later after playing the support role. The duo added 100 runs in just 52 deliveries for the third wicket and fired SRH home.

SRH win by 8 wickets!

SRH win by 8 wickets and with 17 balls to spare. Markram and Tripathi stitch a 100-run partnership to guide their side home.

SRH one hit away.

4 boundaries from Aiden Marrkam in the 17th over blow away Punjab Kings. SRH just need 3 runs in the last 3 overs and this duo deserves plenty of credit for getting the job done quickly.

Timeout.

SRH are just 20 runs away from victory. Do not see them losing from here unless the bowling side pulls off something miraculous. Tripathi has done enough damage and Marrkam has given him good support.

SRH 124/2 (16 overs)

Tripathi blasts Rathee.

Boundaries galore from Tripathi as he takes on the young leg spinner and puts SRH at the cusp of victory. 26 needed off 30.

SRH 118/2 (15 overs)

Arshdeep with another quiet over.

Well, the momentum keeps shifting from one end to the other. SRH are still on top here but a three-run over from Arshdeep will force the batters to break the shackles here. 47 needed off 36.

SRH 97/2 (14 overs)

Fifty for Tripathi!

Tripathi reaches the milestone in style with a maximum. This has been a fine knock and he has single-handedly dragged his side back into the tie. 50 needed off 43.

SRH 94/2 (12.5 overs)

Another big over for SRH!

Rahul Tripathi is changing the course of this tie. He has taken on the spinners and smacked them into different corners of the park. Forces Dhawan to bring back Ellis. 11 runs came off the 11th over and the asking rate is well under control for the Sunrisers.

Tripathi pulls things back.

Tripathi takes on Brar and Chahar. Four boundaries in the last eight deliveries from Tripathi has put SRH back on front after a horrid start.

SRH 67/2 (10 overs)

Mayank succumbs under pressure.

The pressure translates to a wicket. Mayank needed to break the shackles here and he has mistimed the ball. Major concerns in the SRH dressing room as the umpire signals a timeout.

Mayank Agarwal c Sam Curran b Rahul Chahar 21 (20b, 3x4, 0x6)

The spin twins dominate.

Chahar and Brar are getting a good amount of turn here. The wicket is starting to slow up and the batters are struggling to middle the ball.

SRH 43/1 (8 overs)

PBKS bowlers keep things tight.

The bowlers have done a fine job to keep things under control in the powerplay. The batters did slow down after Brook's wicket and scoring has not been easy here.

Arshdeep draws the first blood.

Harry Brook is deceived by the slower one and his horror start to the season continues. Big wicket for Arshdeep and Punjab, they are right in this game.

Harry Brook b Arshdeep Singh 13 (14b, 3x4, 0x6)
SRH 27/1 (3.5 overs)

Decent start for SRH.

Three overs into the innings, SRH have not taken any risks here. Brook and Mayank are taking their time and only going after the bad balls.

SRH 19/0 (3 overs)

The run chase begins.

Harry Brook and Mayank Agarwal walk out in the middle. Sam Curran has the new ball in his hand.

Punjab Kings 143/9 (20)

Shikhar Dhawan 99* (66) | Sam Curran 22 (15)
Mayank Markande 4/15 (4) | Marco Jansen 2/16 (3)

It was not SRH vs PBKS. It was SRH vs Shikhar Dhawan. The skipper scored 69.23% of the team total and fell just one short of a well-deserved hundred. He kept losing his teammates at the other end but the intent was never gone. Sam Curran was the only support as the third-highest scorer could only manage to score 5 runs.

Bhuvi and Jansen ran through the top order with the new ball while Markande bullied the middle order with his spin web. Dhawan took the responsibility into his own hands towards the end as he farmed the strike and attacked the pacers to drag his side to a competitive total. He stitched the highest 10th-wicket partnership in IPL's history where the contribution from his partner was a solitary single.

Join us shortly for the run chase.

Dhawan falls one short of a hundred.

Dhawan manages to dispatch the final delivery in the stands but misses out on a hundred by one run.

PBKS 143/9 (20 overs)

Dhawan approaches a century.

This is Shikhar Dhawan's Bannerman moment. He is 9 short of a hundred and he has scored 67.4% of the team's total. This is also the highest 10th wicket partnership in the history of IPL.

PBKS 135/9 (19 overs)

Dhawan goes bonkers!

Dhawan takes on Umran and uses his pace against him. The skipper races to 82 as he guides Punjab to a competitive total.

Shikhar Dhawan leads the race for Orange Cap!

Shikhar Dhawan's season tally goes up to 190 as he overtakes Ruturaj Gaikwad in the race to Orange Cap.

PBKS 105/9 (16.2 overs)

50 for Dhawan! 100 for SRH!

Dhawan fails to find the gap in the first three deliveries, turns down those singles and dispatches back-to-back sixes into the stand to bring up his fifty and team's 100. A captain's knock if there was one.

PBKS 100/9 (15.5 overs)

Markande with another wicket!

Poor decision from Nathan Ellis. He just had to block that one but going for the reverse costs him his wicket. Mayank sends the stumps cartwheeling and finishes off his spell with the figures of 4/15.

PBKS 88/9 (15 overs)

A rather quiet over.

Much to the PBKS relief, no wickets fell in that over. Dhawan turned down the single in the final ball of the over and he will look to farm the strike for the remainder of the innings.

PBKS 83/8 (14 overs)

Third wicket for Markande.

And another one! Just like DJ Khaled says. Mayank gets the better of another batter with the wrong one. Chahar reviews, impact was umpire's call and he might consider himself unlucky here.

Rahul Chahar lbw b Mayank Markande 0 (7b, 0x4, 0x6)
PBKS 78/8 (12.5 overs)

Umran is breathing fire!

Umran runs through Harpreet with sheer pace. He comes charging in and fires the ball at 147.6kmph to send the stumps cartwheeling. Rahul Chahar comes to the crease

Harpreet Brar b Umran Malik 1 (2b, 0x4, 0x6)
PBKS 77/7 (11.2 overs)

Markande bags another scalp!

The wrong one deceives Shahrukh and traps him plumb in front. Great set up by the bowler, he uses a sharp turning leggie and nails a googly in the next ball. Harpreet Brar comes to the crease.

Shahrukh Khan lbw b Mayank Markande 4 (3b, 0x4, 0x6)
PBKS 74/6 (10.4 overs)

Umran Malik joins the party!

When excellent bowling and excellent captaincy are mixed together, a wicket is usually around the corner. Markram kept third man pretty fine and Raza walked right into the trap after going for the uppercut. Shahrukh Khan comes to the crease.

Sikandar Raza c Mayank Markande b Umran Malik 5 (6b, 0x4, 0x6)
PBKS 69/5 (9.5 overs)

Sikandar Raza walks out in the middle. He is substituted in for Prabhsimran Singh.

Markande breaks the partnership.

Curran plays a shot too many and gives away his wicket to Markande. The flight on the delivery did the damage for the leggie as Curran was too early on his stroke. Simple grab for Bhuvi at short third.

Sam Curran c Bhuvneshwar Kumar b Mayank Markande 22 (15b, 3x4, 1x6)

Timeout taken. PBKS 63/4 (8.5 overs)

Dhawan is on a roll here.

Dhawan is using all his experience, technique and class here to rescue his side. It seems like he is batting on a completely different wicket as opposed to his teammates. Mayank Markande comes into the attack.

PBKS 58/3 (8 overs)

Decent start from Sundar.

Not too bad from Washi. He dragged one short and was punished for it. However, he bounced back shortly and gave away only two singles in the next five deliveries.

PBKS 47/3 (7 overs)

End of the powerplay.

Decent finish from Jansen after a dodgy start to the over. PBKS have done well to maintain their scoring rate despite losing the wickets but they are still on the backfoot here. Washington Sundar comes into the attack.

PBKS 41/3 (6 overs)

Curran takes on the attack.

Jansen misses his length and gets punished for a six and a four. Curran looking to make the most of the last powerplay over.

Dhawan keeps going.

Natarajan delivers a decent first over. PBKS manage to score 8 runs off it and take the scoring rate to 6 runs per over. Jansen will bowl his third over here.

PBKS 30/3 (5 overs)

Jansen strikes again!

Soft dismissal from Jitesh! He simply holes out a half volley to the man at mid off. PBKS are in all sorts of trouble. Sam Curran walks in.

Jitesh Sharma c Aiden Markram b Marco Jansen 4 (9b, 0x4, 0x6)
PBKS 22/3 (3.5 overs)

Shikar maintains composure.

Despite the two early wickets, Dhawan hasn't lost his concentration. Two boundaries in that over will do his confidence a world of good. Smart batting from the skipper.

PBKS 22/2 (3 overs)

New ball doing the damage.

Bhuvi and Jansen are exploiting the new ball. They have been rewarded for landing the ball in the right areas. Plenty of movement on offer for the seamers and this is going to be a tough few minutes for the batters.

PBKS 14/2 (2 overs)

Jansen joins the party!

SRH are on fire! Jansen gets rid of Matthew Short and the Kings are in all sorts of trouble. It was a full delivery that shaped in and trapped the batter. Outstanding bowling from Jansen. Jitseh Sharma comes to the crease

Matthew Short lbw b Marco Jansen 1(3b, 0x4, 0x6)

SRH on top.

Bhuvneshwar strikes early to give SRH the start they needed. Dhawan and Short will have to consolidate here. Controlling the new ball hasn't been easy so far as Bhuvi did spray a couple of wides in the over. Jansen from the other end.

PBKS 9/1 (1 over)

Bhuvi starts with a bang!

Prabhsimran Singh is trapped plumb in front. The crowd erupts and the players are overjoyed. They look extra motivated today after back-to-back defeats. Matthew Short comes to the crease now.

Prabhsimran Singh LBW b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 0 (1b, 0x4, 0x6)

Players take the field

Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh are out in the middle for PBKS. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has the new ball in his hand.

Some interesting changes from both sides. Sikandar Raza and Kagiso Rabada are on the bench while Matthew Short starts for the Kings. They are going with three overseas players today. SRH have decided to promote Harry Brook who appears on the top of the team sheet. Phillips and Samad are on the bench.

SRH Playing XI
