Harsh Dubey to Lungi Ngidi, out Caught by Dilshan Madushanka!! Sunrisers Hyderabad win by 47 runs. This is a comprehensive win. Dubey slows it up, teases Ngidi into the big shot and induces the false shot. The slog is miscued towards deep mid-wicket. Madushanka runs to his left and takes a good catch. He was on the move when he took that. Lungi Ngidi c Dilshan Madushanka b Harsh Dubey 0(1)

Harsh Dubey to Sameer Rizvi, out Caught by Dilshan Madushanka!! Second wicket for Dubey. He was held back and is bowling only his second over, but is getting the rewards for the work done by his team mates. He goes round the wicket, fires it across the right-hander and Rizvi can't get under the big shot, heaves it high and towards deep mid-wicket, Madushanka settles under it and takes it safely. Sameer Rizvi c Dilshan Madushanka b Harsh Dubey 41(28) [4s-2 6s-2]

Harsh Dubey to Axar Patel, out Caught by Nitish Reddy!! The final rites are being performed. Axar has no option but to go for the big shots and decrease the margin of defeat. He tries to heave Dubey into the leg-side but does not get it off the middle. Reddy comes well in from the deep mid-wicket fence and hangs onto a good catch.

Eshan Malinga to Ashutosh Sharma, out Caught by Aniket Verma!! Malinga finishes with a 4-fer. Excellent spell from him. His figures read - 4-0-32-4. In a high-scoring game those are incredible numbers. The off-cutter outside off, Ashutosh did not spot it and is completely deceived, his bottom hand comes off the bat handle and he drags the heave to long-on. Aniket dropped one in the previous over but makes no mistake this time. Ashutosh Sharma c Aniket Verma b Eshan Malinga 14(10) [4s-2]

Eshan Malinga to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, 139.6ks full and tailing in, Ashutosh clears his front leg and swings across the line, squirts a thick inside-edge towards short fine and Madushanka dives over the ball and allows it to escape

Harsh Dubey to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, just 10 from the over. SRH will take that. Harsh loses his length, feeds it in the slot and Ashutosh pounces, pumps it down the ground and does not quite get the distance to clear the rope

Eshan Malinga to Tristan Stubbs, out Caught by Sakib Hussain!! Malinga has the last say. Third wicket for him. And he's elated. Stubbs had success playing the reverse scoop and he perishes playing that shot. This was the slower ball from Malinga as he spotted Stubbs shape to play the reverse, held the length back as well and Stubbs could not generate power to clear short third, Sakib moves to his left and takes a good catch.

Eshan Malinga to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR, Stubbs getting a move on. Short of length delivery, Stubbs stands tall to get on top of the bounce and smashes the pull towards deep mid-wicket. Abhishek runs to his right and slides, but can't stop it cleanly and the ball rolls into the rope

Eshan Malinga to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR, shot! We saw Klaasen playing a similar shot against Natarajan, now Stubbs has done it to Malinga. Low full toss on the stumps, Stubbs bends down and reverse scoops it over short third. The ball almost travels the distance

Stubbs always finds a way to deliver no matter the situation: Manoj

Nitish Reddy to Sameer Rizvi, SIX, this is turning into a good over. Second six in the over. Slower ball, but right in the slot for Rizvi to have a free swing of the arms, he launches it high and all the way over long-on

Eshan Malinga to David Miller, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! Two in two for Malinga. He's on a hat-trick. The stadium has turned into a sea of orange with the flags being waved around. This is a peach first up. Good length delivery, Miller is rooted to the crease and tries to defend, but the ball holds its line, takes the inside-edge and deflects off the back thigh onto the stumps. Miller was not expecting that. He departs for a golden duck. David Miller b Eshan Malinga 0(1)

Eshan Malinga to Nitish Rana, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! He's everywhere. Second catch for Abhishek. Both set batters gone in consecutive overs. Sunrisers Hyderabad right on top now. Fullish delivery angled across, Rana looks to loft down the ground and gets it nowhere close to the middle. The ball was dying in front of Abhishek who charged in from long-on, slid forward and gobbled it up just above the ground. A good knock comes to an end.

Sakib Hussain to Rahul, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Rahul stands there in disbelief. He has gifted his wicket away. Sakib Hussain is a lucky man. This is not a wicket-taking delivery. This is a six-hitting ball - full toss on the pads, Rahul could have hit that anywhere, instead he miscues the heave and picks out Abhishek at deep backward square. Just when he was starting to up the tempo, Rahul departs. And the partnership is broken. Rahul c Abhishek Sharma b Sakib Hussain 37(23) [4s-1 6s-3]
