Being invited to bat first, SRH had a rollicking way to start their innings. Courtesy Travis Head and his blitzkrieg batting. He started to tee off at the very beginning and smashed 20 off Rece Topley's over, Head then went for 6,6 and 4 to get 18 off Lockie Ferguson's over, following this he smacked 6,6 and 4 to race his way to fifty off only 20 balls inside the powerplay.

He didn’t stop the carnage after the powerplay, as he smoked Will Jacks for 6,6 and 4 to take 21 off his over. Head brought up his hundred off only 39 deliveries, 4th fastest in the history of IPL. However, Ferguson ended this entertaining knock as he removed Head for a fantastic 102 off just 41 balls, his innings was orchestrated by 8 massive monstrous blows and 9 gorgeous boundaries.
