Australian opener Travis Head has smashed an 18-ball half century for Sunrisers Hyderabad in a record-breaking night for the Indian Premier League which saw the highest-scoring T20 match in history. Sunrisers’ mammoth first innings total of 3-277 was the biggest in IPL history, but Mumbai gave chasing it down a good shake, falling just 31 runs short with 5-246 of their own.
Head went on to give Sunrisers an explosive start with 62 from 24 balls and Abhishek Sharma contributed 63 off 23, but South Africa’s Heinrich Klaasen was the star turn, smashing 80 not out off 34, including seven sixes and four fours. Aiden Markram made an unbeaten 42, with a strike rate of 150, as Sunrisers surpassed the previous IPL best of 5 for 263, set by Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors in 2013.
