NEW DELHI: After hitting a record high, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) suffered a setback in IPL 2024, recording their lowest powerplay score against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their own backyard on Thursday.
SRH posted 37/2 against RR, their lowest powerplay score this season, after registering the tournament's highest powerplay score of 125 against Delhi Capitals (DC) earlier in the season.
After SRH's 125, Punjab Kings' 93 is the second lowest PP score which they scored against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) followed by DC's 92 against Mumbai Indians (MI).
The team, known for its explosive starts, faltered as they struggled to build momentum in the initial overs courtesy recent flop shows by their attacking openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma.

This unexpected dip in performance marked a stark contrast to their previous formidable displays. The low powerplay score underscored the challenges faced by the team, prompting them to reassess their strategy and execution.
Despite this setback, Sunrisers Hyderabad, who lost their last two matches after four back-to-back wins, will aim to bounce back swiftly, leveraging their resilience and determination to reclaim their winning form in the remainder of the tournament.
