Hyderabad 159-6 (20 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard


Axar comes back into the attack, to bowl his fourth and final over. Hooda turns the second ball on the leg side and then two balls later again turns it on the leg side for a couple.

Axar bowls a wide half-volley which Hooda drives in some style through the covers for a four to get 10 runs from the over.

Warner switch hits a full toss from Mohit through the off-side for a four before he takes a single.

Mohit claims the wicket of Hooda, who takes on a short ball but ends up hitting it straight into the hands of Sandeep at deep square leg to fall for 12.

Warner smashes the next ball flat over the bowler's head for a four. He has another big swing off the next but is foxed by the change of pace.

Debutant Mohammad Nabi on strike for the final over to be bowled by Sandeep.

He starts with a slower ball which is short and wide as Nabi has a wild swing but misses. The next ball is again short as Nabi pulls it to deep midwicket to get his first runs in IPL.

The third ball is again short as Nabi has another swing but miscues it on the leg side and is caught by Miller.

Warner smashes Sandeep over the leg side but Eoin Morgan on the midwicket boundary lets it go through his hands to give away a six as Sunrisers go past the 150-run mark.

Rashid Khan pulls the last ball comfortably over the fielder at deep midwicket for another six to propel Sunrisers to 159 for six in their 20 overs.

Warner has carried his bat through, with a gusty innings of 70 from 54 balls, having hit seven fours and two sixes, on a difficult pitch for batting.
