IPL 2016: 5 memorable matches for SRH on their road to the final that don't fade away

#4 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab

David Warner was again the man for the moment for the Sunrisers

One a belter of batting track, it was always going to be an entertaining encounter between the then table-toppers against the struggling Kings XI Punjab. The latter seemed like a rejuvenated side after the appointment of Murali Vijay as captain.

And they started off well. Hashim Amla, drafted in to replace the injured Shaun Marsh, showed his true class as he played a fine knock of 96 off just 56 balls. His innings helped Punjab post a tally of 179 from the 20 overs, which was a good total despite the flat pitch.

Hyderabad’s over-dependence on David Warner meant that Punjab were in with a fine chance if they got rid of him early.

In what was a valiant team effort, every Hyderabad batsman did their jobs as none of the five batsmen that batted scored less than 18 runs. In the end, it was Yuvraj Singh and Ben Cutting that got them over the line with only 2 balls to spare and completed a 7-wicket win.
