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.

Despite the wickets of set batsmen, Williamson and Nabi kept on smashing Punjab as they added as many as 34 runs for the 4th wicket before the latter getting out in the 19th over of Mohammed Shami owing to a brilliant catch by M Ashwin. However, a funny incident took the place in the 17th over of Mujeeb-ur Rahman as he bowled the first ball outside as Williamson went hard and the ball took the outside edge to flew over the fielders at short third and backward point. Chris Gayle went for the chase from short third man and ends up kicking it away to the fence.
