Defeating run
continues for Kings Eleven Punjab. They lost today by 69-runs against Sunrisers
Hyderabad. After winning the toss SRH selected to bat first. For the first
wicket skipper, David Warner and Jhonny Bairstow made a partnership of
160-runs. Warner scored 57 and Bairstow was three runs short from his century.
One time it seems the
score of SRH might cross 220 but middle-order failure did not make it. After 20
overs SRH was 201/6. But it was to fight with a strong bowling line-up.
In the second innings
of the game, Kings Eleven Punjab losses wicket in regular intervals. Only
Nicholas Pooran who played a 77-runs knock of 37 balls tried to create chances
for KXIP but he did not get support from his fellow teammates. Inform batsman
KL Rahul (11), Mayank Agarwal (9) failed to take charge of the team when this
pair needed most. Simran Singh (11) and Mandeep Singh (6) failed to impress. It
was another bad day at the office for Glen Maxwell (7). This is the fifth loss
for KXIP in six matches and as the result, they are bottom at the points table.
On the other hand with this win, SRH is now third at the points table with
three wins in bag out of six games they played.
