KL Rahul’s fighting knock went in vain as Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Kings XI Punjab by 45 runs to get back to winning ways.

Kings XI Punjab succumbed to pressure while chasing losing Chris Gayle in the third over. Since then, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal combined well to cross the 50-run mark. But Mayank threw away his wicket and so did the likes of Nicholas Pooran, David Miller and Ravichandran Ashwin. While the partners kept deserting him from one end, Rahul held firm from the other and reached his fifty off 38 balls when he hit Mohammad Nabi for two consecutive sixes in the 14th over.

With little support from the other end, Rahul just could not do much as the required run-rate kept mounting. Rahul was finally out in the 19th over when Kings XI Punjab needed an improbable 53 from 10 balls. Rahul scored 79 with the help of 4 boundaries and five sixes. Kings XI Punjab eventually ended on 167 for 8.

Previously, David Warner once again powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to 212 runs at the halfway stage. He finished his IPL 2019 campaign on high chipping in with 56-ball 81 run knock including seven boundaries and two sixes. Meanwhile, Warner combined well with Wriddhiman Saha to post 77 runs in the powerplays – the highest so far in the season. However, Hyderabad played the masterstroke promoting in-form Manish Pandey at the top after the departure of Saha right after the powerplay. Warner and Pandey combined well with set the stage for the batsmen to follow. They targetted Mujeeb-ur Rahman who had a bad day in the business going for 66 runs in his full quota.
