JOIN USIPL 2020 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kings XI Punjab highlights: SRH win by 69 runs
Great win for SRH tonight. Thanks to the win they now have 6 points from 6 matches and they jump to third spot on the points table. Sadly nothing is going right for KXIP at the moment and they have mere 2 points from their 6 matches and are at the bottom of the table. Tommrow RR return to Sharjah where they face DC. So, join us for then. For now it is goodnight!
Jonny Bairstow: Very pleased. The consistency is the key. The partnership at the top was the key tonight. He's (Warner) a good fun, we know what a quality batter he is. I am happy with the way I am striking. The temperature is different, the dimensions and pitches are different too. The guys held the nerve. (On keeping to Rashid Khan) It's great fun, tricky at times.
Player of the Match
No prizes for guessing that Jonny Bairstow is the Player of the Match. Bairstow hammered 97 from 55 balls hitting 7 fours and 6 sixes.
David Warner: I was a bit nervous while Nicholas was hitting it over the stands. I have always had high prospects. I was fortunate to play in Bangladesh with him. You always think, 'What can I do?'. He's (Rashid) a world-class bowler, it's great to have him. He always delivers in pressure situations. What a player. Sad for Bhuvi, but having one of our best death bowlers out of the team gives an opportunity for others. We love batting with each other. At the moment, I am just rotating strike for him. We enjoy batting with each other. If we apply pressure by coming at them. We have got a tough game against RR, have to start fresh again.
KL Rahul: I think when we lose wickets in the powerplay, it's always going to be tough and getting Mayank run-out was a disaster. We kept losing wickets after that and it was one of those days where everything (aerial shots) went into the hands of fielders. The last five games we've been struggling in the death overs, but we pulled things back, else 230 was on the cards. Pooran is so good to watch, he's hitting proper cricket shots. If we get a decent job at the start, he can do the job for us later. He's (Ravi Bishnoi) always enjoyed those situations, that's great to see for a youngster. All of them are professionals, and they know where they're going wrong. Everyone's working hard and they want to contribute for the team. They have proved themselves in the past.
