Hot and cold Sunrisers face Kings XI juggernaut

[ad_1] Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Mumbai Indians by 31 runs, lost to Chennai Super Kings by four runs, lost to Kings XI Punjab by 15 runs Kings XI Punjab beat Delhi Daredevils by four runs, beat Kolkata Knight Riders by nine wickets (DLS), beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 15 runs Big Picture Insane bowling. Inept batting. Sunrisers Hyderabad have decided to be that kid in class who knows pi to the 100th decimal, but blanks so badly when asked about something like social media that they file a complaint against the English professor for not teaching them Instagrammar. Manish Pandey for example, has 88 runs in five innings at a strike-rate of 118. Meanwhile, the man he has kept out of the Indian XI in limited-overs cricket began the IPL with a 14-ball fifty; KL Rahul's form has gone a long way to ensuring Kings XI are an all-round threat. R Ashwin's captaincy has been a big plus as well, forcing opposition batsmen to tackle their weaknesses while his own sits pretty atop the sixe...

Shakib, Rashid star as Sunrisers defend another low total

[ad_1] Sunrisers Hyderabad 132 for 6 (Pandey 54, Shakib 28, Rajpoot 5-14) beat Kings XI Punjab 119 (Rahul 32, Rashid 3-19, Shakib 2-18) by 13 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details play 3:43 Shaun Tait, Ajit Agarkar and the ESPNcricinfo team discuss Kings XI's failure to chase 132 in Hyderabad No Billy Stanlake and Bhuvneshwar Kumar? No problem, again. Two nights after pulling off the second-lowest successful defence in the IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad defended 132 to snap Kings XI Punjab's four-match winning streak. That they could pull off another coup seemed improbable when Ankit Rajpoot 's 5 for 14 - the best figures in IPL 2018 and the sixth best overall - pinned Sunrisers down to 132 for 6. It seemed as improbable when KL Rahul and Chris Gayle, the most prolific opening pair this season, raised their fourth fifty-plus stand in as many innings opening together. Enter Rashid Khan , the No.1 T20 bowler right now, and the experienced Shakib Al Hasan . They ran rings arou...

Sunrisers Hyderabad ace another tight defence after batting slump

[ad_1] Sunrisers Hyderabad 151 for 7 (Williamson 63, Hales 45, Archer 3-26) beat Rajasthan Royals 140 for 6 (Rahane 65*, Samson 40, Kaul 2-23) by 11 runs play 5:47 Ajit Agarkar, Shaun Tait and the ESPNcicinfo crew review another stellar defence by Sunrisers Hyderabad After Rajasthan Royals limited Sunrisers Hyderabad to 151 for 7 on a two-paced pitch in Jaipur, their debutant legspinner Ish Sodhi said the total was "a little under par". Having successfully defended 118 and 132 in their previous two matches, however, Sunrisers had plenty to play with and strangled another chase after Royals had made a sound start. Their sixth win in eight games took Sunrisers to the top of the points table. The Sunrisers batsmen could have made their bowlers' task a lot easier had they not collapsed after Kane Williamson 's masterful 63 off 43 balls, on a pitch where every other batsman struggled. Williamson had a control % of 100 against every Royals bowler except K Gowtham and Jofr...
