Bairstow, Warner give SRH a quickfire start

April 21, 2019 18:31

Sunrisers 72-0 (6 ovs) vs KKR 159-8 | Scorecard

A desperate KKR introduce Sunil Narine, hoping to make a breakthrough.

Bairstow picks a single off the first ball before Warner clubs a length ball wide of long-on for a six to raise SRH's 50, in the fifth over.

Warner is then beaten by Narine outside the off-stump as Karthik fails to stop and gives away a bye before Bairstow picks a single.

KC Cariappa comes into the attack, to bowl the sixth over. He starts with a leg side wide before Bairstow takes one on the leg side and Warner picks two runs through the off-side.

Cariappa drops short as Warner pulls it over square leg for a six. The next ball is again half way down and on the leg stump as Warner helps it round the corner for a boundary.

As expected Cariappa pitches the fifth ball right up as Warner is ready and waiting to pounce, hammering it back over the bowler's head for the second six of the over.

20 runs from Cariappa's first over as SRH race to 72 for no loss in six overs.

Warner has smashed his way to 43 from 21 balls, while Bairstow has slammed 25 from 15 balls to put SRH in control. They need another 88 runs from 14 overs for victory at just over six per over.
