IPL 2018, Kings XI Punjab vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, LIVE score and latest cricket updates: Ashwin ends his spell giving away 53 runs off his 4 overs ends the tough day for him personally as Shakib slams couple of sixes in the final over trying to take his side as close as possible. SRH clearly lacked firepower to chase down 193. Punjab were fantastic with the ball not so much in the field. Chris Gayle’s hundred proved a little too much for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the end. Kolkata enjoy being at the helm of the table with 8 points, but they have played one game more than Hyderabad and Punjab, who occupy second and third positions respectively with six points each. Kings XI Punjab’s batting will be up against the effective bowling of Sunrisers Hyderabad in an Indian Premier League (IPL) game between two in-form teams. While Punjab have registered two wins in three matches so far, Hyderabad have won three games in a row, as both the teams registered crucial wins at the beginning of the tournament. The match at the Punjab Cricket Stadium pits a home side that has a lot of batting firepower against a Hyderabad side that is very balanced and their bowling line-up one of the best in the tournament. [caption id=“attachment_4438479” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Kings XI Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson. Sportzpics/AFP[/caption] Punjab’s top-order batsmen KL Rahul, Karun Nair — both from Karnataka — have delivered in the first three matches. One thing that will please the northern outfit is the return to form of West Indian marauder Chris Gayle, who blasted 63 off 33 deliveries during their four-run win over Chennai Super Kings in their last match. However, Punjab will want another veteran, Yuvraj Singh, and Mayank Aggarwal to also be among the runs as the home batsmen will require to be on top of their game against the Hyderabad bowlers. SRH’s strength lies in their bowling which has a lot of variety. They have restricted their opponents in three matches within the 150-run mark. Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan, who bowled 18 dot balls against Mumbai Indians, is a prime example. Besides Rashid, the likes of Billy Stanlake, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shakib Al Hasan, Sandeep Sharma and Siddharth Kaul provide a lot of options. Bhuvneshwar did not play against MI due to back pain but came back strongly to pick up three wickets for 26 runs against KKR, which must have relieved the Kane Williamson-led side. Also, one cannot underestimate SRH’s batting might. Hyderabad’s all three wins have come while chasing. Shikhar Dhawan, with 130 runs so far, has continued his superb form in the limited-overs cricket. With two crucial knocks of 50 and 36, Williamson has sent a message that the pressure of captaincy even in T20 cricket doesn’t overpower him. Williamson has been a class act for New Zealand and continues to be so here, ensuring that the side doesn’t miss the leadership shown by former captain David Warner. Hyderabad may continue to use wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha as a top-order batsman even if he has not cashed in on the opportunities so far. Apart from him, the likes of Shakib, Manish Pandey are proven performers and will look to showcase their talent again, especially against Punjab bowlers who have proved to be expensive, barring young Afghan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Captain Ravichandran Ashwin will hope fellow bowlers like Andrew Tye, Mohit Sharma and Barinder Sran restrict the Hyderabad line-up. Squads: Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson (Captain), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Manish Pandey, Rashid Khan Arman, Shikhar Dhawan, Wriddhiman Saha (wicket-keeper), Sandeep Sharma, Shakib Al Hasan, Carlos Brathwaite, Yusuf Pathan, Mohammad Nabi Eisakhil, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Billy Stanlake, Siddharth Kaul, Deepak Hooda, Syed Khaleel Ahmed, Shreevats Goswami, Basil Thampi, T. Natarajan, Bipul Sharma, Mehdi Hasan, Ricky Bhui, Sachin Baby, Tanmay Agarwal. Kings XI Punjab: Ravichandran Ashwin (Captain), Axar Patel, Yuvraj Singh, Karun Nair, Lokesh Rahul, Chris Gayle, David Miller, Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, Mayank Agarwal, Ankit Rajpoot, Manoj Tiwary, Mohit Sharma, Mujeeb Zadran, Barinder Sran, Andrew Tye, Akshdeep Nath, Ben Dwarshuis, Pardeep Sahu, Mayank Dagar, Manzoor Dar. -With inputs from IANS

An innings which can be heard saying ‘CHRIS GAYLE is back!’
Hats off to Gayle. It was not a free flowing wicket. They bowled a lot shorter than we did. Punjab deserved the victory. I don’t know the status of Shikhar’s injury. Hopefully he is okay. Always nice when Dhawan comes good. They bowled very well today. We were a little slow today. Learning from this game and we got to move on.

Ashwin ends his spell giving away 53 runs off his 4 overs ends the tough day for him personally as Shakib slams couple of sixes in the final over trying to take his side as close as possible.
SRH clearly lacked firepower to chase down 193. Punjab were fantastic with the ball not so much in the field. Chris Gayle’s hundred proved a little too much for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the end.

After 19 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 161/4 ( Manish Pandey 55 , Shakib Al Hasan 10)
No real stress or urgency here as SRH plug away with target virtually out of their grasps. SRH clearly lacking a power-hitter in the middle order. 33 require the final over.
After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 147/4 ( Manish Pandey 44 , Shakib Al Hasan 8)
Barinder Sran does exceedingly well to comeback after the ball that slipped out of his hand. Couple of wides in the over but he did fantastically to keep it down to 13 runs off the over. When the required rate is 20, he has down fairly well. Ends with 22 runs off his 4 overs. Brilliant stuff.
46 required off last two overs.
After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 134/4 ( Manish Pandey 42 , Shakib Al Hasan 0)
Another brilliant over from Tye as he concedes four runs off his final over. He finishes with 23 runs from his quota. Shakib walks in with 20 runs per over required from the last three overs.
Tye has been brilliant for Kings XI Punjab and the figures explain why.
OUT! Another slower ball by Andrew Tye and another wicket for the Australian as Deepak Hooda gets it from the lower half of his bat. Hits it high up in the air but the shot is no use as he holes out to mid wicket fielder. Tye is pumped!
Deepak Hooda c (sub)Manoj Tiwary b Andrew Tye 5(5)
After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 130/3 ( Manish Pandey 38 , Deepak Hooda 5)
Mujeeb Ur Rahman finishes his spell giving away 27 runs off his four overs, with the last over costing 12 runs. He doesn’t have a wicket against his name to show, but he has done extremely well to tie the batsmen down and dry up the boundaries.
After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 118/3 ( Manish Pandey 28 , Deepak Hooda 4)
Hooda joins Pandey in the middle. He has been sent in before Shakib with the idea of scoring right from the word go! Tye ends the over with another slower ball that Hooda targeted to pull it out of the park but couldn’t get any connection.
OUT! Someone had to go for it! With Manish Pandey really not finding his rhythm, Williamson had to look for boundaries, Andrew Tye’s knuckle ball gets the wicket with Williamson skying it to long off. Fighting innings comes to an end.
Williamson c Finch b Andrew Tye 54(41)
After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 109/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 50 , Manish Pandey 27)
Good over for SRH with 13 runs coming off it. Ashwin has been on the expensive side today. SRH need 85 off 36.
A gritty fifty from Kane Williamson. He has scored everywhere on the ground but SRH need more from him right now and quickly.
After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 96/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 42 , Manish Pandey 24)
Fifty partnership comes up in the over as Pandey and Williamson look to breakfree, they have run couple of risky doubles but that will barely help the cause. Need the big shots to come out. There was confusion between the two batsmen with Agarwal from long on throwing it to keeper’s end. Rahul was not upto the stumps to run Pandey out. Loss in communciation in the field. He could have thrown it at either end for the wicket. Manish finishes the over with a boundary.
SRH are struggling to score runs and the graph shows the same. High time they hit some boundaries to get close to the target.
After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 82/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 41 , Manish Pandey 11)
It has been 23 balls since SRH got a boundary, lagging behind big time now. Mujeeb slips in another over that costs his side only six runs.
After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 76/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 37 , Manish Pandey 9)
Chance for KXIP in the field as Manish Pandey looks to breakfree with a shot down the ground, didn’t get all of it striking it flat and the long on fielder had to put in the dive but couldn’t catch it before the ball coming in contact with ground Williamson moving around his stumps to play the ramp but is unsuccessful in his attempt. Another 4-run over by Tye for KXIP.
After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 72/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 36 , Manish Pandey 7)
Another excellent over by Mujeeb Ur Rahaman. Pin-point in his accuracy, not allowing the batsman one inch, get a sense Williamson is becoming uneasy in the middle with the asking rate rising rapidly. Manish Pandey has already been out there for 11 balls but has shown no signs of going for the big shots, he has just made 7 off first 11.
After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 68/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 33 , Manish Pandey 6)
Eleven runs come off Ashwin’s second over. The bowler did well to come back after being hit for six off the first ball by allowing only five singles off the next five balls. The first six coming in the 9th over off the chase goes on to show that SRH haven’t really got going. The visiting side will have to step on the gas with 126 needed off 66 balls.
