surged in the eighth inning of his subsequent over.

Washington, Klaasen take Sunrisers close
Sunrisers needed 51 runs off the final four overs courtesy of the spinners for the
Capitals, who did brilliantly. But when he challenged fellow South African Anrich
Nortje, Heinrich Klaasen showed off his power-hitting prowess. Klaasen quickly
advanced from being on 9 off 8 at the start of the 17th over to 31 off 18 by smashing
two fours from Mukesh in the 18th over and sending Nortje for a six over deep
midwicket. Washington rocketed Nortje into deep third at the opposite end before
playing a falling scoop off Mukesh. To reduce the equation to 13 of 6, he then
attacked Nortje through deep midwicket. But in the last over, Washington could not
get the big hits away
