IPL 2022, GT vs SRH Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Today: Battle of pace aces as it’s Gujarat Titans’ Ferguson vs Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Umran
Lockie Ferguson to bowl the last over for the Gujarat Titans. Marco Jansen starts the over with a huge six over the long-on. Shashank Singh now shows his finesse and smashes it for a six. Back-to-back sixes for Shashank. Also, he ends the over with a six. SRH are 195/6 after 20 overs.
Yash Dayal picks the crucial wicket of Markram, easy catch by Miller does the rest. Once again it's the slower ball that gets Markram. SRH are 162/5 after 18 overs.
No bowler would have celebrated a wicket while sitting in the dugout. Mohammed Shami did at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday. On the final ball of his third over, Shami was convinced he had trapped Rahul Tripathi LBW. The umpires didn’t agree, but his captain Hardik Pandya was convinced. Gujarat Titans opted for a review.
Shami wasn’t having a good day. He didn’t wait for the TV umpire’s verdict. He had had enough. He seemed drained by Mumbai’s sweltering April heat. He wanted a water-break and a chair to sit.
He had bowled like a dream but the figures, 3-0-29-1, lied through their teeth. He had bowled several wicket-taking balls but had just one wicket to show for them. If Shami had got the rub of the green, the entire Sunrisers Hyderabad top order would have been in the dugout by then. The barrel-chested, strong-limbed pacer was sending down those special heavy balls that give the turf a quick full-seam hug and dart around. These are deliveries that even the greatest of openers - Sunil Gavaskar was on air to vouch for - dread.
Shami squared up Abhishek Sharma twice but the batsman survived. In the same over, he drifted down the leg-side twice and conceded 10 wide runs. Great one moment, ordinary the next.
In the second over, Shami foxed the clever Kane Williamson. The set-up had started with him sending the square-leg to the fence, a tell-tale field-change for an expected short ball. It was a bluff. Williamson didn’t stay in his crease, and ended up poking at a full ball - a cardinal error when facing Shami’s stump-seeking missiles. The ball sneaked between his unsure bat and edgy pad to hit the stumps.
The delight didn’t last long. Tripathi, a known T20 slam-bang batsman, threw caution to the wind. He didn’t play the ball on its merit, and slashed the bat around. Two sixes, one four. Shami was livid.
His final ball was again his heavy nip-backer. Tripathi got nailed. Shami was wiping sweat in the dugout when the giant screen said ‘OUT’.
No wonder he said about the game not being fair to bowlers at a recent Idea Exchange: “I believe it is bowlers who bring you into the game in any format. Whenever the Indian bowlers have done well, you have got the results for years now. All rules are in favour of batsmen, why not some in favour of bowlers? A no-ball brings a free hit, the batter cannot get out. Fair enough, but you have to give some benefit to the bowlers too.”

Shami takes the wicket of Pooran. An easy catch by Shubman Gill does the rest. Markram hits a six over the deep mid-wicket and gets to his half-century. SRH are 155/4 after 17 overs.
Abhishek Sharma departs after scoring 65 runs. Alzarri Joseph picks his wicket. It's a huge wicket. He puts Hyderabad in a strong position. SRH are 140/3 after 15.1 overs.
Markram jabs it this time for a six against Ferguson. He hits it over the deep mid-wicket and slaps it into the stands. What a hit this is!! SRH are 127/2 after 14 overs.
Abhishek Sharma slogs it this time against Rashid Khan and gets a six. He reaches to his half-century. That's great batting by Abhishek Sharma. SRH are 112/2 after 12 overs.
Abhishek Sharma completed the 100 runs for Sunrisers with a big six over deep mid-wicket. This is the second time Abhishek has smashed Rashid for a six.
Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram are involved in an unbeaten 50-run stand for the third wicket. The duo have put on 52 runs in six overs. Abhishek is batting on 37, while Markram is on 25.
One evening, a few years ago, when Abhishek Sharma’s friend Shubman Gill was all the rage to emerge out of U-19 circuit, an interview was conducted in his presence. The two were thick as thieves, a bit like Tendulkar and Kambli Very sportingly, Sharma not only hung around but kept peppering in anecdotes about Gill. At one point, when one found oneself alone with him, a comment from the U-19 coach WV Raman was shared with him. A simple observation about how he is a “natural talent” whose time will also come. Abhishek’s face changed. He took in a deep breath, the face contorting into a tensed breath-intake before it relaxed into this indescribable blissness: that the coach believes in him, that he is good enough, that this is not all a internal dream, that he can indeed make it in cricket, that he isn’t wasting his life away. He has had to wait a few years. This season, luckily he got the opportunity to open, and he is making it count. When he lifted Alzaari Joseph for lofted cover drive , Kevin Pietersen purred, “We are lucky to see this live. It’s so beautiful, so effortless, so majestic.” And when he creamed the next ball all along the carpet, Ian Bishop went, “That’s a beautiful shot”. A few overs later, he went down on his knee to wallop Rashid Khan for a stunning six over long-on. Good things, sometimes, does happen to people who wait.
Sriram veera
Markram punches down the ground and picks a boundary against Ferguson. He uses the pace of the ball and hits it through the cover. SRH are 66/2 after 8 overs.
Abhishek Sharma smashes two back-to-back boundaries against Alzarri Joseph. That's fearless batting from Abhishek. SRH are dominating. SRH are 53/2 after 6 overs.
Rahul Tripathi lofts it and gets a six off Shami. He follows it up by hitting a boundary. What timing! He punches it for a four again. Shami ends up taking the wicket of Tripathi. That's a huge wicket. SRH are 44/2 after 5 overs.
Mohammad Shami bowls to Kane Williamson and he plays an aggressive flick and fetches a boundary. That's good shot by Williamson. Ohh! Wait! Shami rattles the stumps of Kane, he goes back to the pavilion. SRH are 26/1 after 3 overs.
Yash Dayal bowls the second over. Abhishek Sharma cuts it and gets a boundary against Yash Dayal. It's a short delivery, Sharma makes the most of it. That's two consecutive boundaries for Abhishek Sharma. SRH are 22/0 after 2 overs.
Shami to bowl the first over for Titans. Abhishek Sharma and Williamson start the proceedings for Sunrisers. Shami bowls two wides and concedes 5 runs each. SRH are 11/0 after 1 over.

Not as much grass. The pitch is very, very hard. The last five games here have been won by team batting first. It's very dry and maybe it's an advantage to bat upfront, try and get some total on the board because chasing is proving to be very difficult as the tournament wears on," says Matthew Hayden.
