SRH Skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first But SRH got off to a sedate start as batsmen found runs not easy to score . GT bowlers too pegged them back . All batsmen got the starts but could not carry on – Mayank Agarwal ( 16), Travis Head ( 19) , Abhishek Sharma ( 29) , Aiden Markram (17) , dangerous Heinrich Klaasen ( 24) . The big innings for SRH just did not come. They lost wickets regularly . Shahbaz Ahmed ( 22), Abdul Samad ( 29). SRH finishing at 162/ 8 in their 20 overs . They were atleast 15- 20 runs short .
