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.
