Openers Bairstow, Warner put SRH in control

April 21, 2019 18:49

Sunrisers 109-0 (10 ovs) vs KKR 159-8 | Scorecard

Cariappa, who went for 20 runs in his opening over, gets another opportunity to redeem himself.

Bairstow swings the first ball over midwicket for a six and then late cuts the next fine on the off-side past the wicketkeeper for a four.

Two singles from the next two balls as SRH race to 100 for no loss, in the ninth over.

Interestingly, both openers have hit 49 from 29 balls each with SRH in complete control on 102 for no loss in nine overs.

A horror day with the ball for Cariappa, who has gone for 34 in his two over, and has also dropped the catch of Bairstow early on.

The options are running out for KKR as the asking rate for SRH has dropped to the five runs per over mark.

Narine is back into the attack as Warner drives it wide of long-off for two runs to race to his fifty from 28 balls, while he also goes past the 500-run mark in the season.

Two balls later, Warner glances it fine for one as he also complete his fifty from 28 balls.

At the halfway mark, SRH have raced to 109 for no loss in 10 overs, needing another 51 runs from 10 overs for victory.

Both the openers are matching each other stroke for stroke, with each having made 52 from 30 balls each in a dominating showing by the Aussie-English combine.
