May 13, 2017  18:11


Sunrisers 25-2 (3 ovs) vs Gujarat 154 | Scorecard


The dangerous left-handed duo of Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner walk out to open the batting with a modest target of 155 to chase to seal their spot in the plays-off.

Veteran Praveen Kumar to open the bowling. Warner gets off the mark with a single before Dhawan turns the fifth ball on the leg side for a four and keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Left-arm pacer Sangwan to bowl the second over. He starts with a loose delivery as Dhawan crashes it through the covers for a four and the next ball is hit through point for the same result. The next ball is on the pads and Dhawan clips it through the leg side to make it a hat-trick of boundaries as Sunrisers race to 20 for no loss in two overs.

Praveen makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Dhawan, who looks to swing it on the leg side but mishits a slower ball straight into the hands of the fielder at mid-on to perish for 18.

Moises Henriques is lucky to get off the mark with a four as Dwayne Smith at square leg is slow to get to the ball at square leg and gives away a four.

However, Praveen gets his man off the last ball, getting Henriques caught behind for four to leave Sunrisers in a spot of bother at 25 for two in three overs.
