Facing Mohammad Ali, Smith attempted to whip a length delivery but miscued it towards square leg, where Maaz Sadaqat completed the catch.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Interestingly, Sadaqat had dropped Smith just three balls earlier, making amends with a sharp effort on the second attempt. <!-- -->The youngster, clearly pumped up, celebrated aggressively \u2014 throwing the ball onto the ground in excitement after completing the catch.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">WATCH: Maaz Sadaqat&#8217;s fiery send-off<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>That reaction did not sit well with Smith. Visibly frustrated, he walked off the field before cameras later captured him venting his anger in the dressing room, forcefully slamming his bat and remaining visibly upset even after taking his seat.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Smith\u2019s innings lasted just 13 runs off 10 balls, marking an early setback for his side in a crucial knockout fixture.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">WATCH: Steve Smith&#8217;s dressing room incident<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Hyderabad dominate chase after early drama<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>While Smith\u2019s dismissal grabbed headlines, the match quickly turned into a one-sided affair. Hyderabad Kingsmen chased down a modest 159 with ease, sealing an eight-wicket win in just 15.2 overs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Sadaqat, who had earlier been involved in the on-field drama, played a starring role with the bat as well, smashing an unbeaten 64 off 33 balls. <!-- -->He was well supported by Usman Khan, who also struck 64 off 35 deliveries in a dominant chase.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>Earlier, Shan Masood had top-scored with an unbeaten 69 off 46 balls to help Multan post 159\/9 \u2014 a total that ultimately proved insufficient.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Knockout race heats up<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>With this comprehensive win, Hyderabad Kingsmen advance to Eliminator 2, where they will face Islamabad United. The winner of that clash will take on Peshawar Zalmi in the final on May 3.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>However, it was Smith\u2019s rare show of emotion \u2014 and the now-viral dressing room moment \u2014 that stole the spotlight, adding another dramatic chapter to an already intense PSL season.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/drama-in-psl-steve-smith-loses-cool-smashes-bat-in-dressing-room-after-fiery-send-off-watch\/articleshow\/130614857.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mohammad Ali celebrates the wicket of Steve Smith.
