IPL 2016: Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Kings XI Punjab by 5 wickets

So that wraps up the proceedings for tonight, as the IPL now moves to Rajkot where the Gujarat Lions take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore at 4 PM (IST) tomorrow, followed by the Kolkata Knight RIders taking on the Rising Pune Supergiants at the MCA Stadium, Pune. Sportskeeda's live coverage for the games begins at 2:30 PM (IST). We hope to have your company for that!

David Warner: "Good to see Shikhar get a few runs. I was just telling him to get his time and get his rythm back. Disappointing that one of us could not be there. Bangladesh should be previleged to have him (Mustafizur). He is a quality talent."

Mustafizur Rahman has been adjudged as the Man of the Match!

David Miller: " We did not score enough runs, collapsed in the middle overs, but we bowled well. The guys are in high spirits and we still believe, a matter of one or two wins. We haver to score more runs to bounce back. I have to win the next toss.Warner batted well and took the game away from us, but we pulled it back at the end. Now every game becomes crucial and we believe we can still do it."

A clinical performance by the Sunriers Hyderabad as their bowlers, batsmen and fielders combined brilliantly to outplay the Kings XI. David Warner (59 off 31) and Mustafizur (2/9 off 4 overs) were the stars for the home side.

17.5 Axar Patel to Moises Henriques, FOUR! Yes SRH win it finally!! Down the track and lifts the ball over mid-wicket and the ball goes to the boundary to round off the innings. Clinical stuff here. 3 wins on the bounce and they are looking a formidable unit. Watch out for them. Punjab will go back to the drawing board.

17.4 Axar Patel to Naman Ojha, 1 run, driven to wide of long off.

17.3 Axar Patel to Moises Henriques, 1 run, backs away and driven to long off uppishly.

17.2 Axar Patel to Moises Henriques, no run, dabbed to mid-on.

17.1 Axar Patel to Naman Ojha, 1 run, driven easily to long off.

Naman Ojha walks in to bat, and perhaps finish the game without walking back.

Hooda goes now, and neither team seems to be in any sort of hurry to finish the game and give some third parties a much-needed rest.

16.6 Mohit Sharma to Moises Henriques, OUT, RUN OUT, yes he is out there Deepak Hooda. Henriques dabs it to short mid-wicket and Hooda forsome reason takes off from the non-strikers end and Miller swoops on the ball and then dives with the ball and breaks the stumps. Brilliant stuff.

The inevitable has just been delayed by an extraordinary effort by Vohra at mid-on, as Moises Henriques walks in to bat.

16.5 Mohit Sharma to Eoin Morgan, OUT, shortish ball and Morgan scoops it to the leg side and Manan Vohra dives forward and completes a smart catch. Morgan has to depart!

16.4 Mohit Sharma to Eoin Morgan, FOUR. slower ball in the slot and Morgan smashes it way over cow corner!

16.3 Mohit Sharma to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, worked towards long on.

Hooda playing elegant shots like that is like a butcher performing the role of a surgeon.

16.2 Mohit Sharma to Deepak Hooda, 2 runs, on a length and driven handsomely through extra cover for another a brace. Top shot.

16.2 Mohit Sharma to Deepak Hooda, 1 WIDE, this time he bangs it in but it sails over Hooda.

16.2 Mohit Sharma to Deepak Hooda, 1 WIDE, down the leg side. It was an attempted slower ball.

David Warner & Shikhar Dhawan missed their 5th 100+ opening stand in #IPL
The next best
just 2 1st wkt stands by seven other pairs#SRHvKXIP

16.1 Mohit Sharma to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, slower ball and timed to long off.

Mohit Sharma to bowl.

10 runs off Dhawan's last over as we head into the strategic timeout!

15.6 Rishi Dhawan to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, slower and short ball and played to deep square leg. That barely arrived to Morgan.

15.5 Rishi Dhawan to Eoin Morgan, SIX, down the track and Morgan picks up a length ball and deposits it over long off. He has awoken! Finally, some urgency shown by Morgan to finish the game quickly and not drag it to the last over.

15.4 Rishi Dhawan to Eoin Morgan, 2 runs, on off stump, just wide and Morgan blasts it to extra cover and they get a brace.

15.3 Rishi Dhawan to Eoin Morgan, no run, lovely ball angling across Morgan who tries to guide it to third man but is beaten.

15.2 Rishi Dhawan to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, driven firmly but Miller does well at mid-off keeps it to one.

15.1 Rishi Dhawan to Deepak Hooda, no run, on a length and driven uppishly to mid off. The fielders have snuck in close to prevent singles.

Rishi Dhawan to bowl out now!

4 runs of Axar's 1st over. 25 needed off 30.

14.6 Axar Patel to Eoin Morgan, 2 runs, full ball on the pads and flicked to deep mid-wicket. Good hustling there by Morgan.

14.5 Axar Patel to Eoin Morgan, no run, dabbed to short third man.

14.4 Axar Patel to Eoin Morgan, no run, hit on the pads, massive appeal, no says the ump, pitched outside leg and was probably too high to be given.

14.3 Axar Patel to Eoin Morgan, no run, fired in wide of off. Not given as a wide, much to the surprise of Morgan.

14.2 Axar Patel to Deepak Hooda, 1 run, dabbed with ease to long off.

14.1 Axar Patel to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, he starts with a short ball and pulled to deep mid-wicket.

Deepak Hooda is the new batsman! Axar Patel is the new bowler!

13.6 Rishi Dhawan to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT, ohh the short ball has worked, Shikhar looks to pull gets a top edge and Naik, the keeper, settles under it and takes the catch with ease! A fighting innings has ended.

13.5 Rishi Dhawan to Shikhar Dhawan, no run, driven straight to mid-off.

13.4 Rishi Dhawan to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR, short again and Dhawan this time has a cup of tea and then pulls it towards square leg. It splits the gap between fielders in the deep and goes for four.

Having said that, didn't think #SRH could be a force this year!! But bowling and @davidwarner31 have lifted the team

13.3 Rishi Dhawan to Eoin Morgan, 1 run, short and wide and smashed by Morgan to sweeper cover.

13.2 Rishi Dhawan to Eoin Morgan, no run, bunted to short mid-wicket.

13.1 Rishi Dhawan to Shikhar Dhawan, 1 run, short and slow and S Dhawan pulls it to deep fine leg.

11 off that over, and SRH inch even closer to victory. Rishi Dhawan to bowl now.

12.6 Kyle Abbott to Eoin Morgan, no run, much better on a length and straight and defended by Eoin. Why were these balls missing throughout the over?

12.5 Kyle Abbott to Shikhar Dhawan, 1 run, and again short ball pulled straight to long on. Abbott has been on the shorter side tonight, someting that has clearly not worked for him!
