#4 Excellent outing for Sunrisers’s pacers
Defending a below-par score of 151 runs, Hyderabad needed their young pace attack to step up in the absence of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
Sandeep Sharma bowled an excellent spell at the start of Royals' innings, not giving any free runs to the batsmen. Sharma went for just 15 runs of his allotted overs and picked up the wicket of Tripathi as well.
He was ably supported by Siddharth Kaul who was again spot on with his line and lengths. Kaul picked up two wickets and conceded just 23 runs off his four overs.
The task of defending 21 runs of the last over fell to Basil Thampi and the youngster did not disappoint, conceding just 9 runs.
