After coming off a glorious 69-run win against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the previous match (Game 22) of the ongoing edition of Indian Premier League, David Warner's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) once again returned in its best form to restrict KL Rahul's unit at 126/7 in the 43rd match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday, October 24.

From the fantastic lengths by the in-form bowlers to the fielders right under the skies for the catch, SRH after winning the toss, turned out to be benefited to field first against Punjab as star batsmen Gayle, Rahul fell quickly early in the game.

Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma and Jason Holder took on every chance to suffocate the batsmen from Punjab team. SRH got its first breakthrough when Sandeep Sharma dismissed Punjab's opening batsman Mandeep Singh 17(14) with catch courtesy to none other than Rashid.

This was followed by fall of two major wickets off consecutive balls--KL Rahul 27 (26) and Chris Gayle 20 (20). Undoubtedly Rashid put up a telling performance and impressed the Cricket buffs with his magic delivery. He strangled KXIP first by removing captain Rahul, then forcing Deepak Hooda to return to pavilion. He ended his spell for the day with 2/14. Worth hailing!

Besides Khan, Jason Holder shined as a new man in todays match after forcing  Chris Gayle and Jordan to return to pavilion too soon.

Speaking of  the Kings XI Punjab, the team evidently struggled with its bating unit. None of the star players could contribute big for the team this evening.

As of now, Team Hyderabad is at the same position as Kings XI Punjab. It is yet to be seen who will register another victory in their kitty in today's sensational contest that may go right down to the wire.
