Currently, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) are locking horns with each other and looking for a much-need win at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. After winning the toss, the KXIP skipper, R Ashwin decided to bowl first and his decision cost him a lot as the SRH openers smashed as many as 77 runs in the powerplay itself.

For a change, Wriddhiman Saha came to open the innings for SRH along with the in-form David Warner. Both of them started to smash the KXIP bowlers from the word go. However, after scoring as many as 77 runs in first six overs Saha was dismissed by Murugan Ashwin in the 7th over. After his dismissal, Warner started building a partnership with Manish Pandey and they added as many as 82 runs for the 2nd wicket before both of them getting out in the 16th over of R Ashwin.
