With the Sunday's match, Umran's performance could not save SRH from losing by five wickets to PBKS. Liam Livingstone's unbeaten knock of 49 helped his team chase the target of 158 in just 15.1 overs.

Apart from him, Shikhar Dhawan and Jitesh Sharma scored 39 and 19 respectively. Earlier, Harpreet Brar and Nathan Ellis' respective three-wicket hauls restricted SRH to 57/8. For SRH, Fazalhaq Farooqi bagged two wickets, while Jagadeesha Suchith and Washington Sundar took one wicket each.
