Rashid Khan, Player of the Match:
“I just try my best to do the best. I try to do the right thing in each department. That’s how performing in each game. That was a plan to Buttler. I have got him in past a few times. I try and mix my five variations in leg spin. I realised soon that I might not get too much turn on this wicket. I need to bat properly. I am working hard in the nets. I need to back up my skills. Coaches tell me to believe in myself with the bat.
Rashid once again highlights how valuable he can be with the bat in this format
After 19 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 201/5 ( Yusuf Pathan 16 , Rashid Khan 15)

Rashid Khan finishes it off in style, and he hits it off his pads, almost a helicopter to finish the game. SRH win by 5 wickets.
After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 187/5 ( Yusuf Pathan 14 , Rashid Khan 4)
Unadkat bowls the 17th over. Just 2 off the first three balls. Then bowled a over-the-shoulder wide. Lures Pathan into a heave, almost carried to long-on. 2 runs came off that shot. Rahane stops a certain boundary at cover inside the circle on the next. Rashid comes out and heaves it to leg side, collects 2. 8 from the over. Hyderabad need 12 runs in 12 balls.
After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 179/5 ( Yusuf Pathan 10 , Rashid Khan 1)
This match is heading towards a close finish. Archer comes back to the attack and he is building up good pace. One nothing delivery from him went for six. But apart from that delivery and one directionless bouncer, he has been bang on with his deliveries. Hyderabad need 20 runs in 18 balls.
SIX! BANG!
Slower from Archer, length ball and Pathan uses his all power and pulls it away for a massive six over the backward square leg
After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 169/5 ( Yusuf Pathan 1 , Rashid Khan 1)
Gopal has brought two wickets for RR. Is this the turning point in the game Royals wanted as Shankar and Pandey walk back on consecutive deliveries. Pathan and Rashid in the middle. Superb stuff from Gopal. He ends with a figures of 3/27 in four overs. Hyderabad need 30 runs in 24 balls.
Manish Pandey lbw b Shreyas Gopal 1(4)
After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 165/3 ( Vijay Shankar 34 , Manish Pandey 0)
Unadkat continues and just when you thought Shankar and Williamson were running away with the game here, a wicket has fallen. Williamson is gone. Unadkat with the wicket and one more here, will get them back in the game. Manish Pandey has joined Shankar in the middle.
After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 153/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 10 , Vijay Shankar 27)
Kulkarni back into the attack and is welcomed with a massive six over the long-on boundary. A little period of lull in the over and then Shankar goes big again. Easy for Sunrisers from here. 17 off this over. Hyderabad need 46 runs in 36 balls.
After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 136/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 9 , Vijay Shankar 11)
Unadkat finally into the attack. This is a time for Rajasthan to bowl some cheap overs and put some pressure on Hyderabad batters. That last delivery almost took the edge off Williamson’s bat. Just 6 off the over. Good start from the bowler.
After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 130/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 7 , Vijay Shankar 7)
Stokes completes his third over. Has leaked two boundaries again. We have not yet had a look at Jaydev Unadkat. Is this the time to launch him into the attack with Bairstow back in the hut and two new batsmen in.
Finally a breakthrough for RR, coming via a slower bouncer. And another slower one creating an opportunity for a catch. After being clobbered for more than 9 overs, RR suddenly making an impression. But just 84 off the last 10 required now.
It’s often the fielding that sets a team apart on a flat wicket. With nothing going the bowlers way, Dhawal manufacturing that wicket. Its something teams specifically train for nowadays.
After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 117/2 ( Kane Williamson (C) 1 , Vijay Shankar 0)
Gopal continues. Dot balls did the trick. Bairstow who was hitting the balls hard, could not score on two back-to-back ball and it eventually led to a fault shot, bringing his end. Shankar joins Williamson in the middle.
After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 115/1 ( Jonny Bairstow (W) 44 , Kane Williamson (C) 0)
Ben Stokes returns to the attack, gets his for a four but delivers a terrific bouncer to Warner which sends him back. He could have had another one but Kulkarni dropped him at third man. Rajasthan Royals could have staged a comeback in this over but poor fielding letting them down.
Century stands for Sunrisers v RR in IPL:
Shikhar Dhawan/Kane Williamson, Hyderabad, 2018
David Warner/Jonny Bairstow Hyderabad, 2019*
