SRH Secures Historic 8-Wicket Win, Claims Second Highest IPL Chase

In a stunning turnaround, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Punjab Kings (PBKS) by eight wickets in a high-scoring match of IPL 2025, marking the second-highest chase in IPL history. Punjab set a formidable target of 245 runs, largely thanks to captain Shreyas Iyer's explosive innings of 82 off 36 balls. However, SRH's Abhishek Sharma stole the show with a remarkable century, scoring 141 runs off just 55 balls, supported by Travis Head's 66 runs. The pair shared a 171-run partnership that propelled SRH to victory with nine balls to spare, lifting them from the bottom of the points table to eighth place. The match also featured Mohammed Shami's record for the second-most expensive bowling spell in IPL history, conceding 75 runs in his four overs. This victory revitalizes SRH's campaign after a series of disappointing performances earlier in the season.
