The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) seemed to have mastered the art of chasing low score in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018. Like their previous game, failed to perform with the bat and added just 132 runs after losing 6 wickets. But the way their bowlers overpowered the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)batsmen was phenomenal. AFtfer a good bowling show, the KXIP batsmen gave a decent start but after the dismissal of Gayle and KL Rahul, the rest of the team couldn’t sustained the pressure and fell 13 runs short to take the game home.
In case you missed the live action, scroll down and relive the game.
23:30 IST It’s over for the KXIP. SRH has done it again. They successfully saved a low total and have gained 2 more points by beating Punjab by 13 runs.

22:55 IST The game seems to be going in SRH’s favour. The KXIP are 4 wickets down while the rest of the batsmen are in trouble scoring runs.
KXIP is making this pitch look like a 5th day Wankhede pitch or, is it a testament to Rashid’s skill? #SRHvKXIP

20:45 IST Apart from threatening the SRH batsmen, some of the KXIP players are up to something unique on the ground. While Universe Boss puts on the wicketkeeping gloves and takes the position, Manoj Tiwary’s bowling action has put other bowlers in doubt!

20:35 IST What is a No-Ball? Something which spoils the mood. Indeed it is. The KXIP had another wicket, Shakib Al Hasan this time but a no-ball gave the Bangladeshi all-rounder another life.
3 wickets down. 2 regulation catches of Manish Pandey dropped. Shakib saved by a No-ball. Already the most happening Powerplay in #IPL11! #SRHvKXIP #SRHvsKXIP pic.twitter.com/xqFGzBzhZ0

20:25 IST Missing this game will be a big loss in your lives because Rajpoot is on fire. In last game, he plucked 2 scalps and today he went past his previous stats. Top 3 batsmen have been dismissed by this young speedster. After skipper Williamson and Dhawan, he hunted Wriddhiman Saha down.
Ankit Rajpoot has taken it upon his hands to crush the #OrangeArmy

20:15 IST Rajpoot strikes again. After Williamson, Dhawan becomes his second victim and now, SRH i 2 down in the powerplay. But wait, it seems heat of the moment is all over Ankit’s head right now. That was not good send off to Dhawan from this young lad.
Young Ankit Rajpoot abuses Shikhar Dhawan after taking his wicket. Well, these things are not acceptable in gentleman’s game. #SRHvKXIP #SRHvsKXIP pic.twitter.com/mPZ2R7fX22

20:05 IST The KXIP has got the hold on the game right in the beginning. Huge blow to the SRH after skipper Kane Williamson lost his wicket to Ankit Rajpoot right in the first over. All responsibilities on Shikhar ‘Gabbar’ Dhawan to give the desired start.

19:05 IST Last time when these two teams played, Chris Gayle scored a magnificent ton and took apart the SRH bowling. That was in Punjab and tonight the clash is in Hyderabad. Can the orange Army turn the table against the King of North and his men?
