SRH 99/0 (9.5) CRR: 10.07
Sunrisers Hyderabad opt to bat

Bairtstow and Warner smashing it

 

[Justcrazy]

Sun risers 100 for no loss in 10 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Surisers heed to target at least 200 here , its very much possible , one of the openers need to bat through here

 

[Justcrazy]

Bairstow the bowling here , 20 off the over , Risers on the rise here

 

[Justcrazy]

Bairstow well set to get a hundred here , Punjab looking out of the game here

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner gets to 50 off 37 balls

Risers would look to explode here , with all wickets in hand.

 

[tyron_woodley]

dont count punjab out. Can chase this total down.

 

[Justcrazy]

160 after 15 overs

30 balls left

Sunrisers would target 60 - 70 runs here

 

[Justcrazy]

dont count punjab out. Can chase this total down.

Not against Sunrisers.

 

[Ab Fan]

Would like to see who comes next.

 

[Smbhayi]

So this is Warner's 50th fifty in IPL (most by any player) also consecutive 9th fifty against KXIP..

 

[Smbhayi]

And Warner is gone right after strategic time-out..

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner gone , Punjab gets a wicket finally !

 

[Ab Fan]

Samad next in.

 

[Smbhayi]

Samad in one down.. good decision tbh..

 

[Smbhayi]

Who's gone, Bairstow or Samad..

 

[Ab Fan]

Thought it's gonna be umpire's call. But two big wickets for Bishnoi. Well done!

 

[Smbhayi]

So it's Bairstow.. missed hundred.. anyway well played by him..

 

[Ab Fan]

Typical leg spinner performance.

First over 18 runs.

Second over 1 run two big wickets. Impressive really.

 

[Justcrazy]

161.2

24 balls left , Punjab has done somewhat well here .

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol from 160-0 to 161-3..

 

[Justcrazy]

Outttt

Punjab coming back strongly , third wicket here

 

[Smbhayi]

Samad gone now.. 173-4.. 13 balls left..

 

[Smbhayi]

Shoulve send Abhishek Sharma or Rashid Khan.... Garg is not a hitter..

 

[Smbhayi]

Well now Garg is gone, golden duck..

 

[Hasan123]

KL Rahul doesn't look a better captain than Ashwin right now. You have to question the decision to make him captain.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Abhishek Sharma first ball 6..

 

[Justcrazy]

Sixxx , smashes that one in the orbit

 

[Smbhayi]

Nice little innings by Sharma..

 

[Smbhayi]

So finally SRH cross 200 mark.. Thanks to Shami.. 202 is the target for KXIP..

 

[Justcrazy]

202 is the Target for Punjab , a big chase is coming up

 

[Hasan123]

Pubjab have the batting to chase this down. Hope we get a good game.

 

[MenInG]

SRH 201/6 (20) CRR: 10.05
Innings Break

 

[Smbhayi]

Captain sell out Mayank.. early breakthrough for SRH..

 

[Ab Fan]

Mayank Run Out.

 

[JaDed]

Bishnoi has done well.. hopefully improves much more, captain is terrible though.

 

[Ab Fan]

Why the new guy, should have sent Mandeep in.

 

[Smbhayi]

Get Nicholas early then SRH willseal the match..

 

[Ab Fan]

KL Rahul lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Kings XI need 144 runs in 80 balls. RRR: 10.8

 

[Justcrazy]

sixxx Pooran goes big here

 

[Ab Fan]

Pooran hitting skills are absolutely phenomenal.

 

[Justcrazy]

6 4 6 6

Pooran 17 ball fifty here

He has murdered the bowling here , what an innings !!

 

[Ab Fan]

Punjab has an outrageous batting lineup for T20s but they have played so poorly after the first couple of games.

 

[Smbhayi]

Get Nicholas early then SRH willseal the match..

Said that.. 17 ball fifty by him.. need to get him asap..

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab are back in the game in just one over , awesome hitting by Pooran , if he stays there for next 3 - 4 overs , Punjab would be right in front.

 

[Smbhayi]

Brilliant fielding by Garg again.. Maxwell run out..

 

[Justcrazy]

95 from 52 balls

Match will be tight if Pooran gets support from another batsman.

 

[Ab Fan]

Punjab just want those two overs to be utilized fully by Pooran, SRH just the opposite.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rashid Khan really a champion bowler in this format..

 

[Smbhayi]

Which afgani player is diedby car accident?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pooran not getting support from other batsmen here , I think Punjab will come close , but not cross the line.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow this is comical.. why the **** he reviewd that

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol, and I expect Abhishek to bowl next over

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol, and I expect Abhishek to bowl next over

Good captaincy by Warner, going for the kill rather than saving them death overs..

 

[Smbhayi]

Despite Nicholas onslaught SRH won by 69 runs..

 

[Ab Fan]

Good captaincy by Warner, going for the kill rather than saving them death overs..

Yeah, actually Rashid got another wicket after that of Shami, after that, it was just about finishing things off.

 

[Cric_lover4487]

K L Rahul looks lost on the field. Pressure of the captaincy taking its toll.
