Hyderabad,
\nRiding on wonder spinner Rashid Khan’s brilliant effort, Sunrisers Hyderabad produced an inspired bowling display to eke out a 13-run win over in-form Kings XI Punjab in a low-scoring IPL match here on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Rashid (3\/19)) turned out to be the star for Sunrisers once again as he, along with Shakib (2\/18), turned the game around for the hosts in the middle overs. Basil Thampi (2\/14) and Sandeep Sharma (2\/17) also rose to the occasion for the home team. Earlier, young Kings XI pacer Ankit Rajpoot (5\/14) registered his career-best bowling figures to restrict Sunrisers to the modest score of 132\/6. Manish Pandey had hit a fighting 54 for the hosts. But the total proved enough for Sunrisers as Kings XI batsmen crumbled like a pack of cards to fall short and slump to their second loss in the tournament.<\/p>\n
Chasing the modest target, openers KL Rahul (32) and Chris Gayle (23) got Kings XI off to a great start as the duo stitched 55 runs in 47 balls. But just when it looked as if Kings XI would run away with the game, Afghan leg-spinner Rashid got the big breakthrough when he cleaned up Rahul with a gem of a delivery.<\/p>\n
Big-hitting Gayle then miscued a short delivery from Thampi in the next over and the pacer accepted the chance with a simple catch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
