Highlights, SRH (212/6) beat KXIP (167/8) by 45 runs
Sunrisers Hyderabad (212/6 ) beat Kings XI Punjab (167/8) by 45 runs in Hyderabad. Rahul 79, Rashid 3/21
23.35 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Lokesh Rahul, OUT! That is an excellent catch! These high ones are not easy but then the fielder was Kane Williamson. An off cutter on length from Khaleel, Rahul backs away and looks to hit it over cover but the ball goes really high towards mid off. Kane from cover runs a long way, keeps his eye on the ball and takes the ball with a dive even as it got a little away from him. Brilliant catching! Punjab's best batsman tonight departs.
23.32 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Simran Singh, SIX! Full on off, Singh picks the length early and smokes it over long off. David Warner at long off cannot do much but just watch it sail over his head.
23.30 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Lokesh Rahul, Terrific fielding. Full length ball on middle, Rahul hits it hard over Bhuvneshwar Kumar who ducks under it. It looks like it will go to the boundary. But Warner sprints to his right from long off and saves the ball from going to the fence. Saves two runs for his side.
23.27 IST: Sandeep Sharma to Lokesh Rahul, Another single to end the over. A fuller ball outside off, Rahul drives it to deep cover for a run. He retains strike for the next over. Punjab need more than 22 runs per over now.
23.24 IST: Sandeep to Rahul, SIX! Low full toss and it has been dispatched for a maximum! Rahul is the only hope here and he will need these sixes coming in more regularly. KXIP 142/5 in 16.3 overs
23.24 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Lokesh Rahul, FOUR! Smashed! A length ball on top of middle, Rahul makes room and smokes this one over cover. The fielders in the deep have no chance to stop that ball.
23.18 IST: Bhuvneshwar to Rahul, SIX! That is what they need. An amazing start for Punjab, Rahul lofts this half-volley way over long on for a maximum. He will need many more like these though. KXIP 129/5 in 15.1 overs
* Strategic break! Hyderabad are cruising towards a win and have already sent half the side back in the hut. On the other hand, Punjab have a huge task in hand and KL Rahul is still out there. The visitors need 90 runs in 30 balls to win the match. Also, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back into the attack.
23.11 IST: Mohammad Nabi to Lokesh Rahul, SIX! AGAIN! This is a gift! A high full toss and Rahul pulls it with ease over the square leg fence. 12 from the first two balls. He also brings his 50 up in style. He holds the key for the visitors here.
23.10 IST: Mohammad Nabi to Lokesh Rahul, SIX! Rahul has to do it all on his own I believe! He begins well though. This is floated outside off, Rahul lofts it over the cover fence for a biggie.
23.09 IST: Rashid Khan to Ravichandran Ashwin, OUT! Ashwin comes and Ashwin goes. Two-in-two for Rashid Khan. He tosses his one outside off, it is the googly. Ashwin picks it and goes with the turn. He tries to hit it over the man at long on but ends up hitting it straight to him. Pandey there accepts an easy catch. Him promoting himself up the order does not work.
* Ravichandran Ashwin, the Punjab skipper walks out to bat next.
23.07 IST: Rashid Khan to David Miller, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE MAN! Killer Miller is out of here and the whole for Punjab keeps getting deeper. This is short and on middle, Miller goes back and nails the pull but he hits it flat and straight towards Shankar at deep mid-wicket who accepts a dolly. Not a lot of batting left now for the visitors. Rahul has to do it all alone.
23.04 IST: Rashid to Miller, FOUR! Poor ball and put away! A boundary to begin the over, excellent for Punjab. Short and Miller picks the length early. He rocks back and pulls it through mid-wicket. It is in the gap and a boundary. KXIP 105/3 in 12.1 overs
23.00 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to David Miller, A single to end as Miller guides it down to third man. 15 from the over but an important wicket. 117 more needed in 54.
22.58 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! It is clean! What a catch that by Kumar to dismiss the dangerous looking Pooran. The short ball this time does the trick for Khaleel. It is short and on the body. Pooran looks to pull but only manages a top edge towards fine leg. The ball is dying on Kumar who comes running in. He takes it with a dive ahead. Pooran though wants it to be checked and the umpire takes it upstairs. The SOFT SIGNALS IS OUT! Replays confirm it is as clean as a whistle.
22.56 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! 10 from the first two balls! This is a brilliant shot. It is the slower one and it is fuller in length on middle, Pooran lofts it over the bowler's head and a boundary results. Need to make this a big over.
22.54 IST: Khaleel to Pooran, CAUGHT! No THAT IS A SIX! Kumar has stepped behind the ropes. Short and on the body, Pooran pulls it. For a second he might have had his heart in his mouth as the ball was going towards fine leg. Kumar there jumps and takes it but his backfoot crosses the ropes. Ideal start to the over, they need to keep going though. KXIP 86/2 in 10.1 overs
22.52 IST: Nabi to Pooran, SIX! Pooran goes and goes big! Nabi gives this one air and Pooran's eyes lit up. He smokes it over the long on fence for a biggie. They need to keep going. KXIP 80/2 in 9.5 overs
* Mohammad Nabi is on now!
22.47 IST: Rashid to Mayank, OUT! Rashid has the last laugh after being blasted for a maximum. Big square boundaries and Agarwal fails to clear it. It is on the stumps and a little too full. Agarwal looks to sweep but ends up hitting it flat towards the man at deep mid-wicket. Shankar there takes it. The promising stand comes to an end. Hyderabad continue to be on top. 142 more needed in 68 balls. KXIP 71/2 in 8.4 overs
22.46 IST: Rashid to Mayank, SIX! Blasted and that has gone a long way! That has gone a long way! Brilliant shot! It is Agarwal maybe who is going to go here. Slightly full and on middle, Agarwal lofts it over the long off fence. KXIP 71/1 in 8.3 overs
* Strategic break has been signaled! 150 is what Punjab need in the 12 overs remaining. They have lost just the one wicket and both, Rahul and Agarwal are set. Time for the two to go after the bowlers now. Hyderabad on the other hand, will look to take a wicket or two and if they do so, they will be in a very strong position.
22.42 IST: Sandeep Sharma to Lokesh Rahul, BEATEN! Excellent delivery from Sandeep. Bowls it on a good length and outside off, Rahul looks to defend but misses it due to the inswing on this one.
22.39 IST: Sandeep to Rahul, FOUR! What a gorgeous flick! Need more of those does Punjab. Down the leg side, Rahul helps it on its way to the left of fine leg who fails to stop it. Also, the 50-run stand is up! Need to continue and they need to up the ante now. KXIP 61/1 in 7.3 overs
* Sandeep Sharma is back into the attack.
22.35 IST: Abhishek Sharma to Mayank, FOUR! What happened there? Agarwal makes room and lofts this one over covers. The fielder there first runs in for the catch but then bails out. He tries to collect it on the first bounce but the ball bounces over him. He then signals towards the lights. Much-needed boundary for Punjab. KXIP 55/1 in 5.5 overs
22.35 IST: Abhishek Sharma to Lokesh Rahul, He starts off with a no ball! He has overstepped and by a long way. Not acceptable. A Free hit though for the visitors. This is flatter and on middle, it is pushed down to long on for a single.
* Abhishek Sharma is on now!
22.30 IST: Rashid Khan to Lokesh Rahul, NOT OUT! Bowls a leg spinner on off, Rahul comes forward to defend but misses it and gets hit on the pads. The bowler appeals for lbw but the umpire shakes his head.
* Rashid Khan is into the attack.
22.27 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Lokesh Rahul, In the air... but safe! Rashid just did not judge it but that was very, very tough. Had he taken it, it would have been the catch of the season. The kunckle ball on off, Rahul looks to go downtown but only manages to get height on it. Rashid from mid on runs after it but fails to get a hand to it. The batsmen take two.
* Bhuvneshwar Kumar is back into the attack.
22.21 IST: Sandeep to Rahul, FOUR! Excellent improvisation! Rahul expects a slower one and gets it. Is into position early as he shuffles across and sweeps it over the fine leg fielder. The umpire initially signals a biggie but has to change his decision as replays shows it has just bounced before the ropes. KXIP 33/1 in 3.5 overs
22.19 IST: Sandeep to Mayank, FOUR! Nice and fine! On the pads, a poor ball but it still has to be put away. Agarwal flicks it past short fine leg and the ball races away to the fence. KXIP 27/1 in 3.3 overs
22.19 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Mayank Agarwal, On a length on middle, Agarwal flicks it towards mid-wicket for a run. 10 runs and a wicket have come from the over.
22.13 IST: Khaleel to Rahul, SIX! Smashed!A wicket has just fallen by Rahul does not care. This is slightly on his pads. He stands tall and just whips it. It goes high up in the air but also has the distance. Clears the mid-wicket fence with ease. KXIP 17/1 in 2.2 overs
* Mayank Agarwal is the new batsman in.
22.12 IST: Khaleel to Gayle, OUT! The Big Man holes out early and what a catch that was from Manish Pandey! Brilliant nerves!The crowd here erupts! Gayle departs. A body blow for Punjab. Khaleel strikes but credit to Manish Pandey. This is an excellent catch. It is a length ball around off, Gayle looks to go big but only manages a top edge. It goes high up in the air, so high that it has snow on it while coming down. Manish Pandey at point settles under it, he gets two hands to it but the ball almost pops out as he goes down on the ground but he hangs onto it.
22.07 IST: Bhuvneshwar to Rahul, FOUR! EDGY! Just over the first slip fielder. Slightly full and width on offer outside off, Rahul throws his bat at it. It flies off the outside edge and over the outstretched hand of Guptill for a boundary. KXIP 9/0 in 1.1 overs
22.05 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Chris Gayle, FOUR! Off the toe-end but a boundary. Full and wide outside off, Gayle throws his bat at it but the ball flies off the top edge and beats the third man fielder to his left for a boundary. Off the mark in style is Gayle.
22.04 IST: Khaleel Ahmed to Lokesh Rahul, NOT OUT! Khaleel bowls it on a good length on leg, Rahul looks to flick but gets hit on the thigh pad. The bowler appeals for lbw but the umpire shakes his head. Hyderabad don't go for the review because we see that players suggesting Kane Williamson that it was too high. Hawk Eye shows that it is pitching outside leg.
22.03 IST: We are back for the chase. The Hyderabad players are out in the middle. Chris Gayle and Lokesh Rahul will open the batting for Punjab. Khaleel Ahmed will start the proceedings for Hyderabad.
22.01 IST: Thus, 213 to win. A mammoth target for the boys from the North to chase down. They will love one of their two star openers to go and get a big one but will it be possible? Let's wait and see.
Sunrisers Hyderabad score 212/6 in 20 overs against Kings XI Punjab in Hyderabad. Warner 81, R Ashwin 2/30
21.44 IST: Arshdeep Singh to Vijay Shankar, A couple to end and 10 runs from the last over! Shankar fails to take toll of a full toss as he hits it towards long on for two. HYDERABAD FINISH WITH 212/6!
21.41 IST: Arshdeep Singh to Rashid Khan, OUT! TIMBER! A corker of a yorker that and there is also a little tail away. Rashid looks to make room and then jam it out but fails to get his bat down in time and the ball uproots the leg pole. Good start to the last over this.
21.37 IST: Mohammed Shami to Mohammad Nabi, OUT! Shami gets his second wicket of the over. Full and straight on middle. 'You miss, I hit' stuff. Nabi looks to smash this ball but misses the line of the ball completely and sees his stumps being rattled apart. Hyderabad lose yet another one in the process of going for the big ones.
21.35 IST: Mohammed Shami to Kane Williamson, OUT! Scorcher of a catch from Murugan Ashwin. Williamson will have to depart, he is shocked. A length ball on a slower pace outside off, the Hyderabad skipper looks to loft it over covers on the back foot. He does not get the elevation though and the ball goes to cover where Murugan jumps high and takes a brilliant catch. He does really well to hold onto the ball as well as he falls down after completing the catch. Shami is happy. Hyderabad won't mind though, they will look to maximise the runs here.
21.30 IST: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Mohammad Nabi, Full on off, Nabi looks to drive but it goes of the bottom edge towards covers. The batsmen take a run. Mujeeb finishes his spell with figures of 4-0-66-0. An expensive spell from him.
21.28 IST: Mujeeb to Nabi, SIX! Blasted away. This is even bigger than the last one! Wow! What a hit! Full and on middle, Nabi with the utmost ease lofts it over the bowler's head for a huge one. SRH 194/3 in 17.5 overs
21.26 IST: Mujeeb to Nabi, SIX! Another one and the Afghan is getting thrashed by the other. He has picked the bones out of that one! Mujeeb has had a day to forget here. This is very full and on the stumps. Nabi lofts it over the bowler's head and it goes all the way. SRH 187/3 in 17.4 overs
21.24 IST: Mujeeb to Williamson, SIX! 10 off two balls! High and handsome! On the leg side this time. 10 from the first two balls of the 18th. Williamson makes room and Mujeeb follows him. Kane slog sweeps it and it goes all the way over the square leg stands. SRH 179/3 in 17.2 overs
21.24 IST: Mujeeb to Williamson, FOUR! Gayle helped out with a kick as well! Mujeeb tosses this up and outside off, Williamson looks to go inside out over covers but the ball takes the outside edge and goes over short third man. Gayle hares after it, he tries to stop it with his leg but ends up kicking it over the ropes. Ideal start to the last over. SRH 173/3 in 17.1 overs
21.19 IST: Mohammed Shami to Mohammad Nabi, On the bounce to the fielder! Short and wide outside off, Nabi throws his bat at it. The ball flies off the outside edge and towards third man for a single.
* Kane Williamson is the new batsman in. Also, Mohammed Shami is back into the attack.
21.17 IST: OUT! Two in the over for Ashwin! The skipper leading from the front. Warner though walks off to a standing ovation. He has surely does his job here. He falls in the attempt to find the boundary again. This is flatter and outside off, Warner swings hard, he is guilty of going too hard at the ball. It flies off the top edge and towards point where Mujeeb takes it by taking a few steps behind. Ashwin removes Warner for 81. Sunrisers Hyderabad 163/3 in 15.5 overs
21.14 IST: OUT! TAKEN! A soft, soft dismissal this! Manish Pandey is disappointed as he hits his bat into the ground. A nothing delivery to be honest, it is short and down the leg side. Pandey looks to play it very fine but he tries to do so awkwardly. A top edge is produced and Shami at short fine leg takes a neat catch moving to his right. End of an enterprising inning from Pandey, he has done his job. Punjab on the other hand, need to keep taking wickets. Ashwin removes Pandey for 36. Sunrisers Hyderabad 160/2 in 15.3 overs
21.12 IST: Arshdeep Singh to David Warner, Tossed up on middle, Warner flicks it towards mid-wicket for a run. 159 is the score. How much will Hyderabad get in the end?
21.10 IST: Arshdeep Singh to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Just not learing is the youngster. He is bowling it short and on the body with fine leg up. It is easy for Pandey. He helps it on its way to the fine leg boundary. Second in the over. Pulled away! SRH 154/1 in 14.4 overs
21.08 IST: Arshdeep Singh to David Warner, FOUR! Poor ball with fine leg up! Just needs to get bat on it and it is a boundary. Down the leg side, Warner works it past short fine leg and the ball races away. 150 up.
21.06 IST Mujeeb Ur Rahman to David Warner, FOUR! Top edge but a boundary! Warner brings out the reverse sweep and he is helped as Mujeeb bowls it way outside off. He swings but the ball flies off the top edge and over short third man for a boundary.
21.00 IST: Murugan Ashwin to David Warner, Flighted delivery on middle, Warner flicks it towards mid-wicket. The batsmen get two runs. 22 runs have come from the last 2 overs.
20.59 IST: Murugan Ashwin to Manish Pande, SIX! WOW! Straight down the ground! Ashwin gives it air and bowls it full on middle, Pandey clears his front leg and tonks it down the ground. It goes all the way. SRH 131/1 in 12.3 overs
20.54 IST: Shami to Warner, FOUR & FIFTY! Warner brings up his 44th IPL half-century. Brilliant knock by the Aussie in his last game for SRH this season. He does not get there in the best of manners but he won't care. It is the slower one and outside off, Warner looks to cut but the ball takes the outside edge and goes fine on the off side for a boundary. Need to continue. If he plays throughout, Hyderabad will cross 200. SRH 117/1 in 11.2 overs
20.53 IST: Shami to Pandey, DROPPED! Pandey gets a lifeline. A length ball outside off, Pandey looks to hit it over mid off where Ravi Ashwin jumps and puts out his right hand. The ball seems to have stuck but falls out at the last moment! Would have been an excellent catch but not to be. Unfortunate for Punjab, smiles for Hyderabad as the batsmen complete a single.
20.50 IST: Murugan Ashwin to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Played that late! Brilliant stuff! This is flatter and outside off, Pandey waits for it and the guides it past point. The ball races away to the fence. SRH 109/1 in 10.3 overs
20.48 IST: Ravichandran Ashwin to Manish Pandey, It is tossed up on off, Pandey drives it to covers where Rahul stops it and quickly throws it at the keeper's end. Simran Singh whips the bails off in a flash but Warner was comfortably in.
20.42 IST: Murugan Ashwin to David Warner, NOT OUT! Indeed it has! Excellent commitment from Warner. He plays this with soft hands towards mid-wicket and then takes one. They go for the second. Miller runs in and throws it to the keeper. The throw is a little wide. Singh does well to collect the ball and whip the bails off. An appeal and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that Warner has just about made it. A better throw and it could have been interesting.
20.39 IST: Ashwin to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Excellent shot this! Not easy this one! It is tossed up around off, Pandey makes room and then manages to loft it over covers, against the turn for a boundary. SRH 90.1 in 7.5 overs
20.37 IST: Murugan Ashwin to David Warner, WIDE! Almost an action replay of the last ball. A googly down the leg side, Warner tries to sweep again but misses. Wide
* Manish Pandey comes in..
20.34 IST: OUT! No wait, is it not given? Yes, it finally is! Murugan bowls this short and outside off, it turns away. Saha looks to pull it against the turn but the ball seems to have taken an underedge. Singh takes and appeals, the umpire at first gives no reaction at first. Murugan and Singh straightaway want the review to be taken but then the umpire is seen raising the finger. Saha starts walking back but for some reason, he stops at the non-striker's end. Eventually he has to walk back as the umpire indicates that he has been given. Saha continues his walk back and Murugan Ashwin strikes straightaway. A much-needed wicket, the break has probably done the job for the visitors. Can they now pull things back? Murugan Ashwin removes Saha for 28. Sunrisers Hyderabad 78/1 in 6.2 overs
* Murugan Ashwin brought in after the powerplay
* The strategic break has been signaled! Hyderabad are off to the best possible start here! They would hope to continue in the same manner. Punjab on the other hand, have been poor with the ball, they are guilty of bowling a little too straight and have paid the price here. They need someone to step-up and break this stand first and then manage to pull things back. Will they be able to do so? We will find out.
20.24 IST: Warmer to Ashwin, SIX! Welcome to the bowling Ashwin, says Warner. A flatter one on the leg stump line and going straight on. Warner gets on one knee and heaves it over deep backward square leg. It just crosses the rope. 70 up for Hyderabad before even the Powerplay is completed. SRH 72/0 in 5.1 overs
* Ravichandran Ashwin is into the attack.
20.23 IST: Saha to Shami, SIX! Woah! Where did that come from!? This has been nailed! 10 from last two balls and 13 from this over as well. Once again the line is a little too straight. Saha plays the pick up shot, it is right off the middle and it sails into the mid-wicket stand. SRH 66/0 in 5 overs
20.22 IST: Saha to Shami, FOUR! Clipped over the covers and sails for a boundary. Lovely shot again by Saha! This is angled into his pads, he whips it with the angle over mid-wicket and the ball races to the fence. SRH 60/0 in 4.3 overs
20.21 IST: Mohammed Shami to David Warner, A big, big chance goes a begging here! Poor by Mujeeb again, he has not started well with the ball and now a poor effort by him in the fielder. A good delivery by Shami this, it is short and on middle, the ball gets big on Warner. He does well to defend it down towards mid-wicket. Saha is off for a run, Warner does not want one. Saha is halfway down the wicket, Warner then goes for it. Mujeeb comes running in from that position but then at the very end, takes his eyes off the ball. He fails to complete it and a run is completed.
* Mohammed Shami is back into the attack.
20.18 IST: Mujeeb to Saha, FOUR! Fastest fifty for SRH this season. Just off 24 deliveries. Both the batters are scoring runs in boundaries! 50 up for the hosts and they are off to a rocketing start. A poor ball by Mujeeb, it is down the leg side, Saha sweeps it fine on the leg side and bags another boundary. 18 from the over and it has not been a good start by Mujeeb. SRH 53/0 in 4 overs
20.16 IST: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to David Warner, FOUR, the Afghan spinner is been taking for a ride here and Hyderabad are dealing in boundaries. Mujeeb strays on the pads, Warner goes for the sweep, he hits it well, over backward square leg and the ball races away to the fence. SRH 44/0 in 3.2 overs
20.15 IST: Mujeeb Ur Rahman to David Warner, FIVE WIDES! A flatter ball from Mujeeb but he has lost radar there. Warner looks to flick it fine on the leg side but fails to put bat on ball either. The keeper too does not collect the ball and the ball runs fine on the leg side for a boundary. Five wides!
20.12 IST: Arshdeep Singh to Wriddhiman Saha, FOUR! Up and over! Saha is on the charge here. Length and outside off, it is the slower one. Saha drags the flick shot over mid-wicket and it races away to the fence.
20.09 IST: Arshdeep Singh to Wriddhiman Saha, Length delivery on off, Saha drives it through covers. Murugan Ashwin chases it and does well to stop it before the ropes. It is an excellent stop by him. The batsmen get three runs.
20.08 IST: Mujeeb to Warner, SIX! And it didn't take long for Warner to have a go. First maximum of the match. All the way! Love extension of the arms there by Warner. Mujeeb bowls it slightly full and around off, Warner plants his front foot forward and lofts it with ease over the long off fence. First of the game. KXIP 20/0 in 2 overs
* Mujeeb comes into the attack
20.03 IST: Arshdeep Singh to David Warner, FOUR! Easy-peasy! An over which started so well for the bowler is turning out to be a good one for the batter. A gift this, a full toss down the leg side, Warner works it fine, past short fine leg and the ball races away to the fence. SRH 9/0 in 0.5 overs
20.02 IST: Arshdeep Singh to David Warner, FOUR! First runs off the bat and it is in form of a boundary! Once again, he falters in the attempt of bowling an inswinger. Bowls it down the leg side, easy pickings for Warner as he flicks it to the fine leg fence. SRH 5/0 in 0.3 overs
20.01 IST: Arshdeep Singh to David Warner, A good delivery first up! It is equally well played though. Goes for a yorker and it swings away from middle. Warner is squared up as he tries to play it but gets his bat down in time and jams it out.
19.58 IST: We are all set to begin. The players and umpires are out in the middle. David Warner and Kane Williamson will open the batting for Hyderabad. Arshdeep Singh will start the proceedings for Punjab.
