IPL 2018, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab at Hyderabad, latest update and cricket score: Mujeeb runs a leg bye off the first ball but Rajpoot trying to win the match with the bat after a fabulous effort with the ball, tried to play the scoop, exposing his stumps, with the ball bowled straight and full and Thampi hits the middle stump. Sunrisers Hyderabad has done it twice in three days! First they beat MI by 31 runs defending 118, now defended 132 runs winning by 13 runs! Despite a wonderful start by Chris Gayle and KL Rahul the Kings XI panicked and choked against some accurate SRH bowling. Preview: Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be aiming to outsmart each other and continue their winning run when they face-off in an Indian Premier League (IPL) tie at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday. A rampant Punjab has won five of its six league games while Hyderabad have managed to carve out four victories from six games, standing third in the league points-table. Punjab openers KL Rahul and Chris Gayle have been a major reason behind their success. While Rahul has accumulated 236 runs from six games, the Caribbean self-proclaimed “Universe Boss” has amassed 229 runs from just three matches. Gayle however, missed the previous match against Delhi Daredevils due to fitness issues and his absence was clearly felt in Punjab’s opening. If the 38-year-old returns for Thursday’s game, it will be again be a threat to the opponent’s bowling. Karun Nair has also been impressive after 173 runs from five innings but veteran Yuvraj Singh, Aaron Finch and Mayank Agarwal are yet to make their presence felt in the middle. The trio’s poor form could be a cause of concern for the team management, keeping in view Hyderabad’s decent bowling attack. In the bowling department, all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin, along with Mohit Sharma add depth to the line-up. Also, medium pacers Barinder Sran, Andrew Tye and Afghan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman shoulder the bowling responsibility. On the other hand, Sunrisers have their tails up after defending a paltry 118 against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. The Sunrisers’ bowlers dished out a superb performance to trigger a batting collapse of Mumbai and eventually defend the total by 31 runs at the packed Wankhede Stadium. Earlier, the Kane Williamson-led side kicked-off their campaign in an impressive way with three wins on the trot but later suffered successive defeats to Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings. Williamson has been in good touch and has carried the batting on his shoulders. The New Zealand batter has amassed 259 runs from six games. However, Shikhar Dhawan and Wridhiman Saha, have not given the required support to Hyderabad’s batting. Saha has been below par with the bat with just 62 runs while Dhawan has been a bit better with 135 runs from five innings. Yusuf Pathan had shown glimpses of his old attacking batting against Rajasthan Royals with a quick 27-ball 45, but failed to repeat the show against Mumbai. Hyderabad’s strength mostly relies on their bowlers, who didn’t let Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s absence be felt in the game against the Rohit Sharma-led side. Bhuvneshwar has scalped six wickets from four games, with an economy under seven. Spinners Shakib Al Hasan and Rashid Khan have also bagged six wickets each from as many games while medium pacer Siddarth Kaul has been the most impressive with nine wickets from six games. Another medium pacer Basil Thampi, who featured in just a game for Hyderabad, came out with a clinical show against Mumbai. The 24-year-old picked two wickets conceding just four runs from 1.5 overs. However, pacer Billy Stanlake, who has been in good touch in the ongoing edition with five wickets from four games, has been ruled out of the remaianing season after a fracture in his finger. Overall, it will be Punjab’s batting versus Hyderabad’s bowling when the two sides square-off on Thursday. With inputs from IANS

Time for us to wrap up here. Sunrisers Hyderabad has turned it around from a week ago after losing to Kings XI Punjab in Mohali they have managed to protect their fortress by defending another low score of 132. Kings XI Punjab were abysmal in the field dropping four simplest of chances that will hurt them a lot along with some mindless batting.
Sunrisers equal Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab on 10 points, but they topple Kings XI from the second spot on better NRR, though CSK have played one game lesser. For tomorrow we have a new captain in Shreyas Iyer for Delhi Daredevils taking on Kolkata Knight Riders. Will the change in leadership bring a change in their fortunes? Join us for the game at our live coverage, until then goodbye and take care!
Brilliant stuff from Rashid who looked at his lethal best tonight. We will let the numbers to the rest of the talking.
Will he be the Man of the Match again!

Total wickets: 24
Bowled & LBW: 17
Awesome accuracy!
Stunning fightback by Sunrisers Hyderabad! Their bowlers turn heroes for one more night!
Kudos @SunRisers. Thought defending two low scores consecutively may be too much, especially with Bhuvi absent. What a terrific performance!

Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Kings XI Punjab by 13 runs
Mujeeb runs a leg bye off the first ball but Rajpoot trying to win the match with the bat after a fabulous effort with the ball, tried to play the scoop, exposing his stumps, with the ball bowled straight and full and Thampi hits the middle stump. Dead. Gone! SRH win!
Kings XI Punjab bowled out for 119 in just 19.4 overs
Mujeeb Ur Rahman remains unbeaten 10
Sunrisers Hyderabad has done it twice in three days! First they beat MI by 31 runs defending 118, now defended 132 runs winning by 13 runs! Despite a wonderful start by Chris Gayle and KL Rahul the Kings XI panicked and choked against some accurate SRH bowling.
After 19 overs,Kings XI Punjab 118/9 ( Ankit Rajpoot 8 , Mujeeb Ur Rahman 10)
Sid Kaul was unfortunate in the end, missed the stumps by a whisker. Rajpoot swung across off the last ball missing it completely. Four singles and a boundary gives them 8 and leaves them with 15 off the last over with 1 wicket in hand.
After 18 overs,Kings XI Punjab 110/9 ( Ankit Rajpoot 3 , Mujeeb Ur Rahman 8)
Super stuff this from Rashid for the first four deliveries he keeps it tight. Just two runs of the first four balls, but the overs cost 10 runs with Mujeeb’s two successive boundaries. 22 off 12 needed.
OUT! There goes the last KXIP hope! R Ashwin falls to Rashid Khan, had to go for the big hit, didn’t catch it right from the middle, but Kane Williamson with the reverse cup is safe as house.
Ashwin c Williamson b Rashid Khan 4(6)
After 17 overs,Kings XI Punjab 100/8 ( Ravichandran Ashwin (C) 4 , Ankit Rajpoot 1)
Three runs and a run out off the over. Nabi dropped Rajpoot off the last ball as he looked for a big shot across the line. The ball was high in the air, but Nabi didn’t quiet gather it.
OUT! Run out, really! Punjab have choked! No chance they can make it from here! Never a single there, Sran took off after getting the toe-end of the bat with ball dribbling to the right off the keeper. Ashwin sends Sran back after he was halfway down, with gloves on Saha shies at the stumps and hits! 8 down. SRH 2 wickets away.
Barinder run out Saha 2(5)
After 16 overs,Kings XI Punjab 97/7 ( Ravichandran Ashwin (C) 3 , Barinder Sran 1)
Punjab’s slide continues and so does SRH’s revival. In fact they are the favourites. 36 off last 4 isn’t impossible but not sure about Barinder Sran’s ability with the bat, Ashwin can he needs to stay till the end. Two wickets in the over!
OUT! Sandeep Sharma was brought in to counter Chris Gayle. He couldn’t get him or any other wicket in his first three overs instead he has struck twice in his final over. KXIP review umpire’s call. Tye has to walk back as the ball-tracking shows the ball was clipping the leg stump, so the umpire’s call will sustain and Punjab lose 7th! SRH are simply incredible! Was the change up, pitched on middle and Tye went to hit on the leg side was early in the shot, missing it completely.
Andrew Tye lbw b Sandeep Sharma 4(2)
OUT! Another wicket! Sixth batsman falls. Manoj Tiwary’s stay doesn’t last long. Bowling change has done the trick! Williamson is relieved to hold on to that as it seems he was blinded for a bit. He is on the ground and his fielders come over and around the captain. They believe they can do it! Wow! How has the game changed!
Manoj Tiwary c Williamson b Sandeep Sharma 1(5)
After 15 overs,Kings XI Punjab 91/5 ( Manoj Tiwary 1 , Ravichandran Ashwin (C) 2)
How have the Sunrisers come back into the game, they are making this small total look massive. Shakib has got the wicket off Finch and the Kings XI have lost half their side. this is slowly sliping away. Punjab needs to remain calm here. Captain, Ashwin is in early.
OUT! Oh dear! SRH has this unbelievable knack off making a match out of nothing! Finch tries to repeat what he did the last ball but doesn’t get the same power behind it the length was dragged slightly and he is caught really well in the deep by Manish Pandey. who remains composed near the boundary ropes.
Finch c Manish Pandey b Shakib 8(4)
After 14 overs,Kings XI Punjab 82/4 ( Aaron Finch 2 , Manoj Tiwary 0)
Rashid Khan beats Nair off the first ball but is able to turn the strike over off the next ball. Aaron Finch doesn’t play the sweep, not convincingly though, gets a single. Nair is beaten once again, but this time it is fatal as he trapped in front. What an eventful over as Manoj Tiwary has no clue how to deal with Rashid’s magic. Rashid wanted a review but Saha and other close in fielders advised against it and Williamson takes a practical call, the ball looked to go over the stumps.
OUT! Another amazing delivery by Rashid. The game is well open! Karun Nair is trapped right in front! Wrong’un again does the trick. Typical delivery, hurried through the air and the sneaks past the inside edge and raps on the pad. Finch advises him not to take the review and rightly so.
Nair lbw b Rashid Khan 13(17)
