It was really unlikely that Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is usually a calm player when he is playing. However, the emotions got to the youngster as the Sunrisers of getting a big first innings total suffered a huge setback.

Nitish Kumar Reddy's struggling knock

Nitish Kumar Reddy walked in to bat early in the innings inside the powerplay after Sunrisers Hyderabad had lost Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan off successive deliveries. Reddy took his time, but his intent was always positive.

The young allrounder from Andhra Pradesh was involved in a vital partnership of 61 runs with Travis Head, where the latter was the aggressive one. With Sunrisers losing Heinrich Klaasen next, Reddy decided to slow down and take his time a little.

He also struggled with his timing as he failed to connect certain shots. With the pressure mounting upon him to strike a boundary, Reddy was finally dismissed for 32 off 28 balls with a strike rate of just 114.28.

The allrounder was disappointed at not staying at the crease till the end, which dented Hyderabad's chances of posting a huge first innings total. SRH scored 190-9 in 20 overs after batting first on the back of Travis Head and Aniket Verma's blistering knocks at different stages of the innings.

LSG cruises to the target with ease

The target wasn't going to be enough as Lucknow Super Giants chased it down within just 16.1 overs of the run-chase. Nicholas Pooran showed some unreal batting quality as he smashed 70 off just 26 balls, striking 6 fours and 6 sixes on his way.

Opener Mitchell Marsh also continued his good form with the bat with a fine 52 off just 31 balls. Abdul Samad and David Miller finished off the match as they remained unbeaten till the end.

Sunrisers will now move to Visakhapatnam, where they will face Delhi Capitals on March 30. On the other hand, LSG will next play a home game against Punjab Kings on April 1.
