IPL 2015 - RR vs SRH, 41st Match

After being put in to bat, Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a steady start before David Warner perished for 24 to Shane Watson in the fifth over.

The departure of Warner slowed down SRH's tempo. Moises Henriques struggled in the middle and scored 20 off 21 before he was cleaned up by Pravin Tambe in the 11th over.

Shikhar Dhawan scored his third fifty of IPL 2015 scoring 54 off 35 balls to keep SRH moving,but he got out at the wrong time to James Faulkner in the 15th over.

Eoin Morgan then upped the ante in style by clobbering 63 runs off just 28 balls with the help of five sixes and four fours to help his team to 201 for 4.

In chase of the huge total, Bhuvneshwar Kumar got rid of Ajinkya Rahane (8) cheaply in the first over.

Ishant Sharma, playing this game in place of Dale Steyn, removed Shane Watson in the fourth over to put RR in a spot of bother.

SRH took control of the game when Karn Sharma removed Deepak Hooda for 7 as RR lost their fourth wicket for just 77 runs,

Steven Smith then sparked a comeback for RR with a 32-ball fifty but perished to Ravi Bopara for 68 in the 15th over.

James Faulkner kept his team afloat with an enterprising knock of 30 off 19 balls, but his wicket, taken by Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the 18th over, pretty much sealed the game in SRH's favour.

But, Chris Morris changed the complexion of the game hitting Praveen Kumar for three consecutive sixes and brought down the equation to 18 off the final over, but Bhuvneshwar Kumar ensured an SRH victory despite Morris' 11-ball 34.
