Rajasthan Royals' talented young pretenders miserably failed in a 'Slow Track Test' as Sunrisers Hyderabad's unfancied spin twins Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed spun a web to set-up a 36-run win in the Qualifier 2 and an IPL summit date with Kolkata Knight Riders in Chennai on Friday.Pace duo of Trent Boult and Avesh Khan snapped three wickets each but SRH managed to post a competitive 175 for nine. Apart from Boult (3/45) and Avesh Khan (3/27), Sandeep Sharma (2/25) also claimed two wickets after RR won the toss and elected to bowl. For SRH, Heinrich Klaasen top-scored with a 34-ball 50, while Travis Head (34), Rahul Tripathi (37) got starts but couldn't stay longer. In reply, RR were restricted to 139 for 7 in 20 overs, thanks to Shahbaz Ahmed's 3 for 23. SRH owner Kavya Maran was ecstatic as the side made it to IPL final after 6 years.
Plenty to cheer & celebrate for the @SunRisers
