SRH take on laggards Punjab

By The Assam Tribune

HYDERABAD, April 22: Back to their winning ways after successive victories, a rejuvenated Sunrisers Hyderabad will look to continue their good run when they take on laggards Kings XI Punjab in an IPL T20 clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium here tomorrow.

After losing two games in a row, Hyderabad made a quick turnaround in their fortunes by scoring two stupendous wins in their last two matches � against Mumbai Indians (by 7 wickets) and Gujarat Lions (by 10 wickets) yesterday.

Despite injuries to its key players, including Yuvraj Singh, Ashish Nehra and Kane Williamson, the Hyderabad side has been on a high with the team clicking collectively during the last two matches.

SRH captain and the swashbuckling Australian batsman David Warner has been in great form, having made an unbeaten 74 off 48 balls against Gujarat yesterday and 90 not out in the contest against Mumbai.

One big relief for SRH would be the performance of its other opener Shikhar Dhawan who returned to form yesterday with an unbeaten 53 after a poor show in the previous three matches.

The other SRH batsmen, including Moises Henriques, Eoin Morgan and wicket-keeper batsman Naman Ojha, have also been making useful contributions to the side in crucial situations.

Despite the absence of the seasoned Nehra, the SRH bowlers have made an impact to make it difficult for their rivals. Seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar broke the back of Gujarat innings with his four-wicket haul yesterday, including the all-important wicket of Gujarat opener Aaron Finch. � PTI
