Mohammed Shami to David Warner, Bowls a short delivery outside off, Warner looks to pull but it goes of the upper half of the bat. Punjab skipper, Ravichandran Ashwin believes that it is a good deck and it wont change much so they would like to bowl first. The ball goes on a bounce to cover who is deep in the circle. Mohammed Shami to Kane Williamson, OUT!
It was a great decision from them to not go for the review. There is a lot at stake, make no mistake.
Well I will explain.
KXIP are keeping things tight right now. Wickets kept falling at the other end even as KL Rahul was standing strong. They need to keep going. Khaleel Ahmed to Lokesh Rahul, NOT OUT! Murugan Ashwin to David Warner, WIDE! First of the game. He also brings his 50 up in style. On off and KL looks to get it over cover but the bat turns in his hand as he plays the shot. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Lokesh Rahul, Dot ball!
Mujeeb bowls it slightly full and around off, Warner plants his front foot forward and lofts it with ease over the long off fence. Informs that this tournament has given him good confidence going into the World Cup, wants to do the best for the team there too with the bat. Sandeep Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, On a length on middle, Agarwal nudges it towards square leg for a run. Pooran has come out all guns blazing here. He also says that they need to not let emotions get to them while trying to put their best foot forward. Abhishek Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Straight down the ground!
Arshdeep Singh to David Warner, FOUR!
Rashid Khan to Simran Singh, The googly and it is tossed up outside off, Singh looks to go over covers but it goes off the inner half and down to long on for a run.
PITCH REPORT - George Bailey from the studio, says the pitch looks a typical Hyderabad wicket and it does not offer too much for the spinners nor the pacers. The batsmen get two runs. He mentions that they will be trying to start afresh after a slight break. Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Mohammad Nabi, WIDE! Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Simran Singh, Back of a length ball outside off, Singh cuts it towards backward point, Sandeep Sharma sprints in from third and and saves two runs for his side with a diving stop.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 45 runs. Rashid has the last laugh.
Mohammed Shami to Mohammad Nabi, On a length on middle, Nabi looks to drive but it goes of the inner half of the bat towards fine leg. Full length ball on middle, Rahul hits it hard over Bhuvneshwar Kumar who ducks under it.
Rahul has to do it all alone. Lovely shot again by Saha! Ravichandran Ashwin to Mohammad Nabi, Flighted delivery on middle, Nabi flicks it through mid-wicket. Mohammad Nabi to Nicholas Pooran, On the stumps, Pooran defends it towards the off side. Impossible. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Lokesh Rahul, On a good length on off, Rahul defends it off the front foot.
Ravichandran Ashwin to Wriddhiman Saha, Ashwin bowls a tossed up delivery on middle, Saha drives it towards mid on for a run. Good comeback in the end by Nabi. Ravichandran Ashwin puts in a dive and does well to stop it and saves runs for the team.
That though meant that Rahul could never exactly completely go after the bowling as he held up one end together. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Lokesh Rahul, Full on off, Rahul drives it towards covers for a run. An expensive spell from him.
Khaleel Ahmed to Lokesh Rahul, OUT! Nabi gives this one air and Pooran's eyes lit up. 17 | 6 Runs | A length ball outside off, Pandey looks to hit it over mid off where Ravi Ashwin jumps and puts out his right hand. Ravichandran Ashwin to Mohammad Nabi, Short and outside off, Nabi punches it towards covers for a run. See you for the same!
18 from the over and it has not been a good start by Mujeeb. Three changes - Abhishek, Nabi and Sandeep come in.
Hyderabad are 77 runs after 6 overs. The fielders in the deep have no chance to stop that ball. Need more of those does Punjab. Sandeep Sharma to Simran Singh, Simran cannot get under this one as he punches it away to deep cover for a single. 50 up for the hosts and they are off to a rocketing start. He then thinks that the bowlers bowled to plan as well in the second innings. Warner brings out the reverse sweep and he is helped as Mujeeb bowls it way outside off.
Singles is what Punjab won't mind.
A flatter one on the leg stump line and going straight on. Mohammed Shami to Mohammad Nabi, Full on middle, Nabi makes room and drives it towards covers.
Bowls it wide outside off, Nabi stretches to play at that but misses it.
Sandeep Sharma to Lokesh Rahul, FOUR!
Mohammad Nabi is caught on the sidelines. Arshdeep Singh to Wriddhiman Saha, WIDE!
