The Sunrisers Hyderabad continued their record-breaking season in the IPL, setting the highest-ever score in the tournament for the second time this year!
Their mammoth 287-3 against Royal Challengers Bangalore eclipsed their previous record of 277-3 set against Mumbai Indians last month.
Headlines for Head
Leading the charge was Australian opener Travis Head, who smashed a blistering 102 runs off just 41 balls. His knock included a jaw-dropping nine fours and eight sixes, and it propelled him to the fourth-fastest century in IPL history.
A Team Effort Secures Victory
Head’s brilliance was complemented by solid contributions from other batsmen. Abhishek Sharma provided a strong partnership at the top, while Heinrich Klaasen (67 off 31) and Abdul Samad (37* off 10) provided a late flourish to ensure a mammoth total.
Royal Challengers Respond Gamely
Despite facing a near-impossible task, Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a valiant effort in their chase. Dinesh Karthik’s late onslaught of 83 runs off just 35 balls was a highlight, but the required run rate proved too much to overcome.
A Night for the History Books
This match rewrote the record books for T20 cricket. It became the highest-scoring T20 ever, surpassing Nepal’s 314-3 against Mongolia in 2023. The Sunrisers Hyderabad, with their record-breaking batting displays, have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in this year’s IPL.
