Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi in what was the Eliminator of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>. After a terrific bowling performance by the SRH bowlers, Kane Williamson masterclass with the willow helped SRH seal a place in the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2020 where they will face Delhi Capitals on Sunday.

Batting first, Royal Challengers Bangalore opted to go with Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal as openers in the crucial match. However, the move backfired as Kohli was sent packing by Jason Holder for just one run whereas Padikkal, who has been terrific for RCB throughout the season, was dismissed for six.

Aaron Finch and AB de Villiers stuck around for a bit but it was Finch who lost his wicket first and walked back to the hut for 32 off 30. Moeen Ali ran himself out on a free-hit, a rare instance in the world of cricket, for a golden duck.

Shivam Dube (8), Washington Sundar (5) also failed to live up to the expectations with the bat in the big game. However, a handy 10-run knock by Mohammed Siraj and nine runs by Navdeep Saini helped Royal Challengers Bangalore to post 131/7 in 20 overs.

Chasing 132, Sunrisers Hyderabad got off to a horror start as opener Shreevats Goswami was dismissed for a duck. But it was David Warner and Manish Pandey, who stabilized the chase for SRH. Warner was given marching orders by the third umpire in what was a controversial call for caught-behind. Pandey also edged one to AB de Villiers to depart for 24.&nbsp;

IPL 2020: Kane Williamson, Jason Holder star as SRH defeat RCB in Eliminator

Sunrisers Hyderabad clinched the final playoff spot in the Indian Premier League after securing an emphatic 10-wicket victory over defending champions Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.

Captain David Warner finished unbeaten on 85 and Wriddhiman Saha 58 not out as they chased down Mumbai’s target of 150 with 17 balls to spare in Sharjah.

Needing a win to stay the competition, Hyderabad moved up to third on net run rate and will face fourth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore in Friday’s eliminator in Abu Dhabi.

“There is great resilience in the side,” said Australian opener Warner, who led Sunrisers to the IPL title in 2016.

“We looked back to 2016 when we had to win every game to win the title. When you have your backs against the wall, you have nothing to lose.”

Hyderabad’s win also eliminated two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders, who finished fifth in the league on net run rate.

Table-toppers Mumbai made Hyderabad’s job easier on the night by resting seam pair Trent Boult and Jasprit Bumrah ahead of their playoff against Delhi Capitals on Thursday.

The winner of Thursday’s encounter will move straight into the final, while the losing team will meet the winner of Friday’s eliminator in a playoff to decide the second finalist.

The Twenty20 tournament is being held without spectators in the United Arab Emirates this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the final scheduled for Nov. 10 in Dubai.

With Mumbai being in a safe spot, cricketing-turned analyst Brian Lara feels that SRH might catch them off guard and pull a surprise.&nbsp;

"Yeah, definitely. They (SRH) found themselves in this position and that’s from good playing in their recent games. So, I expect them to actually be up for the challenge," said Lara on Star Sports show Cricket Live.

"Mumbai Indians may be easing off, rest a few players which will favour SRH, but I think they have got to be ready for this quarter-final and for the rest of the tournament. If they win, they are in and I think they have got what it takes to do so," the former Windies skipper added.

Sunrisers have found some form in the latter stages of the tournament. They currently sit on the fifth spot and a win against Mumbai will help them jump to the third spot knocking Kolkata out of the race. Wriddhiman Saha has found his form at a crucial moment for Sunrisers and has played a crucial role in the past two matches.&nbsp;

Mumbai Indians have been dominant this season. Despite losing their skipper Rohit Sharma to an injury, Kieron Pollard and Co. have played great cricket. They are currently top the table and if they win against SRH, it would set a tone before they enter the play-off. MI's bowling unit has been lethal at Sharjah. They have restricted the opposition to very low scores. Opening pair of Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock has been one of the best in this tournament.&nbsp;

RCB need a desperate win against DC to qualify for the play-offs as their NRR dropped below KXIP's.&nbsp;

Sunrisers decision to bowl first paid-off as SRH bowlers managed to restrict RCB to 120 by the end of 20 overs.

However, the best bowler for SRH was Natarajan who choked the RCB innings after conceding just 11 runs and getting Sundar's wicket.

SRH tread very carefully this time as they did not want to repeat the same mistake as their previous match against KXIP. Despite David Warner's early dismissal, a 50-run partnership between Manish Pandey and Wriddhiman Saha landed a fatal blow to RCB's hopes. Jason Holder's cameo (26 runs off 10 balls) helped Sunrisers get over the line. SRH chased the target with 23 balls to spare.&nbsp;

IPL 2020: David Warner's Sunrisers take on Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers for a playoff spot

Wriddhiman Saha stamped his class with a 45-ball 87 before Rashid Khan dished out a clinical bowling performance as Sunrisers Hyderabad kept themselves alive in the race for IPL play-offs with a whopping 88-run win over Delhi Capital, here on Tuesday.

Asked to bat first, splendid knocks by Saha (87), skipper David Warner (66) and Manish Pandey (44) powered Sunrisers to 219 for two.

Star spinner Rashid then led a fine bowling display to end with the impressive figures of 4-0-7-3, his best in this season.

The Afghan bowled an astonishing 17 dot balls in his quota of four overs, helping his side bowl out the Capitals for 131 in 19 overs.

Sunrisers (10 points) have now moved up to sixth from seventh position with this win, while the Capitals, who slumped to their third consecutive loss, were pushed down to the third spot with 14 points.

Chasing a stiff target, it was a rather ordinary performance by the the Capitals batsmen. Shikhar Dhawan (0) and Marcus Stoinis (5), who was elevated to number 3, perished in the first two overs.

Ajinkya Rahane (26) and Shimron Heytmyer (16) quickly started the recovery work, stitching a 40 run stand, the highest for their team. The duo targeted Jason Holder, collecting 22 runs in the sixth over as Delhi reached 54 for two at the end of the Powerplay overs.

However, Rashid dealt Delhi with twin blows, getting rid of both Rahane and Hetmyer in the seventh over. Skipper Shreyas Iyer (7) was next to depart as wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals.

Seven of Delhi's batsmen failed to reach double digits with Rishabh Pant (36) being the top scorer.

While Rashid was the pick of the bowlers for Sunrisers, Sandeep Sharma (2/27) and T Natarajan (2/26) picked two wickets apiece. Vijay Shankar(1/11), Shahbaz Nadeem (1/8), Holder (1/46) took a wicket each.

Earlier, both openers Warner, who looked in good nick, and Saha, playing his second game of the season, went after the Delhi bowlers from the word go.

Fully capitalising on the field restrictions, the duo smashed boundaries (11 fours and two sixes) every over to collect 77-runs in the first six overs, the best Poweplay figures of the season.

In the sixth over, Warner smashed the tournament's leading wicket-taker Kagiso Rabada (0/54) for four boundaries and a six, helping the Sunrisers reach 100 runs in just 8.4 overs.

Till Warner was taking on the bowlers, Saha played the second fiddle to perfection.

The Australian celebrated his 34th birthday with a half-century off just 25 balls, hitting two sixes and eight fours at the Dubai International Stadium.

To Delhi's relief Ravichandran Ashwin (1/35) broke the 107-run opening stand in the 10th over as he dismissed danger man Warner, who was caught at extra cover by Axar Patel.

With Warner gone, Saha hammered the Capitals bowlers all around the park. The wicketkeeper batsman reached his fifty in style with a boundary. He plundered 12 fours and two sixes before pacer Anrich Nortje (1/37) dismissed him in the 15th over.

Pandey and Kane Williamsion (11 not out) continued the assault on a listless Delhi bowling unit.

All-round Sunrisers Hyderabad outclass Delhi Capitals by 88 runs, keep Play-off hopes alive

Hyderabad were placed seventh on the points table when came into Match 47 of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>, at Dubai. They piled up 219/2 against Delhi after David Warner (66 in 34 balls) and Wriddhiman Saha (87 in 45) added 107 in 58 balls. Manish Pandey (44* in 31) finished things off. Delhi made a desperate effort, reaching 54/3 in 6 overs, before surrendering against Rashid Khan (4-0-7-3). They were eventually bowled out for a paltry 131.

Joy Bhattacharjya was all in praise of the Warner-Saha onslaught in the My11 Circle Cricbuzz Analysis: “Sensational, stunning batting – and not just that, you know. Normally, in an innings like that you say that when a wicket has fallen, things will start slowing up. What happened in this innings was … they just kept going and kept going and kept going. Warner’s party became Saha’s party became Manish Pandey’s party.”

While echoing Bhattacharjya’s thoughts, Michael Vaughan lambasted the Delhi bowling: “I thought the bowling was atrocious. They didn’t do anything to try and stop them … The lack of bouncers, the lack of wide yorkers, the lack of real quality slower balls – I do think Delhi put it on a plate. I thought it was too easy for them [Hyderabad] to strike it consistently.”

This was Saha’s second match of the season. His last match was over a month ago. “Every opportunity he got, he grabbed with both hands,” said Bhattacharjya, while praising him. “Amazing positivity … Whether it’s practice, he’s playing, not playing, he is amazing.”

“You can’t allow Rashid Khan that kind of start,” added Vaughan, while referring to Rashid’s double-wicket first over. “He has them on a string. He bowls that awkward length where the batsman is in between, he is nipping either in or away from you. He is very, very clever as well: I think he reads the batsman’s mind … He has kind of got the ball in his hand, and he is kind of looking down 22 yards, whoever he is bowling to, I am pretty much sure 90 per cent of the time he is thinking ‘no matter who you are, I’m better than you’.” From 5 matches against Delhi, Rashid’s figures read 20-1-76-10.

The huge defeat meant that Delhi (+0.03) dropped below Bangalore in (+0.092) in net run rate. Both teams are on 14 points, as are table toppers Mumbai, (net run rate +1.252). Hyderabad now jumped past Rajasthan to secure sixth place.

KXIP's batting order has been in top form and has helped the team chase many totals. KXIP bowlers have found some form too, Shami being the most lethal of the lot. Sunrisers Hyderabad, on the other hand, have had an inconsistent IPL 2020. They are in the fifth position in the points table with four wins and six losses. David Warner and Jonny Bairstow have been in good form and Rashid Khan has been economical with the ball. Skipper Warner, with 871 runs, is the leading run-getter against KXIP in IPL. He's hit at least 51 runs each of the nine previous times the two teams met. Probable XI KXIP: KL Rahul (c, wk), Mayank Agarwal, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Deepak Hooda, James Neesham, M Ashwin, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammad Shami SRH: David Warner (c), Jonny Bairstow (wk), Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem/Abhishek Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

IPL 2020: 'Motivated' Kings XI Punjab take on 'shaky' Sunrisers Hyderabad

Hyderabad brushed Rajasthan aside in Match 40 of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League 2020</a>, at Dubai. Hyderabad bowled well, with especially Jason Holder (4-0-33-3), Vijay Shankar (3-0-15-1), and Rashid Khan (4-0-20-1) leading the way, to restrict Rajasthan to 154/6. Jofra Archer (4-0-21-2) then reduced Hyderabad to 16/2 before Manish Pandey (83* in 47 balls) and Shankar (52* in 51) saw them to an 8-wicket win with 11 balls to spare.

Harsha Bhogle spoke highly of Pandey in the My11 Circle Cricbuzz Analysis: “They [Hyderabad] were in trouble, make no mistake, against a sub-par score with Jofra Archer bowling like the wind … But when you pay big bucks to your top-order batsmen, this is the kind of innings you want them to play, where you not just weather the storm but you take the attack to the opposition. Not a cameo, not a 30-35, but you take the team time. I have seen Manish Pandey play some good innings, but this is as good as he has ever played.”

While lauding Archer’s superb probing, Bhogle pointed out how dependent the Rajasthan was on him: “It’s looking like Archer at one end, and then [Steven] Smith is looking around.”

For Rajasthan, Ben Stokes has not lived up to the immense expectations. Lisa Sthalekar explained: “I think they really have to got to have a look at Ben Stokes and what he is giving them. That is international sport, and he is not just performing with bat or ball, and maybe he just needs some time out.”

Elaborating on what went wrong with his batting, Sthalekar explained: “You just need to have fast hands, get the ball in the middle of the bat, but he was trying to hit himself out of form, out of the slump he is in.”

Bhogle agreed: “Ben Stokes is an outstanding Test match cricketer and a very, very high-calibre One-Day cricketer. Those numbers force a question whether he is as good in the T20 format.” Following ordinary shows in 2018 and 2019, Stokes has scored 110 runs in 2020 at a strike rate of 106.79, while his bowling figures read 8-0-82-0.

Thanks to the win, Sunrisers jumped from seventh to fifth place, while Rajasthan slid to seventh. They are above only Chennai.

IPL 2020: This is as good as Manish Pandey has ever played, opines Harsha Bhogle

Manish Pandey smashed eight sixes in a blistering 83 after Jason Holder made an instant impact with the ball as Sunrisers Hyderbad kept themselves in the race for IPL play-offs with an eight-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals here on Thursday.

Pandey and Vijay Shankar (52) stitched an unbroken 140-run partnership after Holder led a disciplined bowling display to restrict Rajasthan Royals to 154 for six.

Playing his first match of the tournament, Holder (3/33) came up with an impressive bowling effort while also affecting a run out to destabilise the RR innings. Rashid Khan (1/20) and Vijay Shankar (1/15) picked a wicket each.

During his unbeaten 47-ball knock, Pandey hit four balls to the fence and eight over it, while Shankar struck six boundaries.

The duo played intelligently in a must-win game for the Sunrisers.

With the win, Sunrisers moved up to the fifth spot, while the Royals were pushed down to seventh.

The Sunrisers' chase was off to the worst possible start with skipper David Warner (4) giving away his wicket to Jofra Archer once again in the very first over. The Barbadian-born English pacer then got rid of Jonny Bairstow (10) in his second over.

With the dangerous openers back in the dugout, Pandey made full use of the field restrictions in the first six overs. He targeted young Kartik Tyagi, smashing the right-arm medium pacer for three boundaries and two sixes.

Pandey survived an lbw scare in the ninth over. He continued to pick the Rajasthan bowlers with Shankar holding fort at the other end.

Eventually the all-rounder, too, found his mojo, hitting back-to-back fours off leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal in the 11 over. He also hit Archer for three successive boundaries.

Earlier, Sunrisers, who were struggling at the penultimate spot in the points table with only three wins from nine outings, opted to bowl after winning the toss at the Dubai International Stadium.

For RR, Sanju Samson (36 off 26 balls) was the top scorer.

Put in to bat, Robin Uthappa looked in rampaging form, hitting the first four and six of the innings. He quickly raced to 19 off 13 balls.

However, his time in the middle was short lived. After Ben Stokes (30) hit Holder for back-to-back boundaries in the fourth over, the West Indies skipper effected Uthappa's run out as the Indian was late to turn back at the non-striker's end.

The powerplay overs yielded 47 runs, including six fours and a maximum, for the loss of one wicket.

The big-hitting Stokes was dropped on 17 in the eighth over by Shankar off a Rashid delivery. Alongside Samson, he kept the scoreboard ticking.

A 56-run stand between the two was broken in the 12th over by Holder. Samson, who had reached his highest score since the 85 against Kings XI Punjab in RR's second match of the tournament, was bowled by a slow off-cutter, after pulling the previous delivery over midwicket for a huge six.

Stokes' stay came to an end when the World Cup winning all-rounder was bowled by Rashid in the beginning of the 13th over, with the Sunrisers bowlers making a strong comeback in the middle overs. RR then lost wickets at regular intervals.

Jos Buttler, too, fell quickly as he was sent back by Shankar in the 16th over with skipper Steve Smith (19) also failing to make an impact.

IPL 2020: Pandey, Shankar strike unbeaten fifties in Sunrisers' win over RR

Rajasthan Royals are set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Dubai International Stadium on Thursday as the race for playoffs continues to enthral fans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. Rajasthan Royals are currently sitting fifth in the points table with eight points to their name in 10 matches, whereas Sunrisers Hyderabad are seventh with six points in nine games in IPL 2020.

If Rajasthan Royals manage to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday then the Steve Smith-led outfit will climb straight to the fourth spot, replacing Kolkata Knight Riders in net run-rate. Interestingly, KKR, who are sitting fourth in the table, have the worst NRR and could be in trouble if it comes to taking the fourth spot with the same points as others.

Whereas it is almost a do-or-die match for Sunrisers Hyderabad as the defeat would see them in a similar spot as Chennai Super Kings and they will have to depend on other results besides winning all their remaining matches.

Also read: IPL 2020: Virat Kohli masterclass helps RCB defeat CSK by 37 runs Hyderabad have had a shaky start to this year's Indian Premier League. They currently sit on the fifth position in the points table with three wins and losses. However, their recent win against the Kings XI Punjab will have their hopes high, and they would want to keep up the momentum. David Warner and Jonny Bairstow have returned to good forms and will be providing the Sunrisers a good start with the bat. Rashid Khan has been lethal with his ball, and he will play a crucial role in Sunrisers. Rajasthan Royals started the campaign on a high with two wins, however, their form dropped and they ended up losing four matches in a row. They currently are on the seventh position in the points table. They will be avoiding to get a fifth loss. However, the return of Ben Stokes might turn the tables for the Royals. Jofra Archer dismissed Warner in 4 of the 5 innings the pair came up against each other in the recent bilateral series. SRH and RR have faced each other 11 times in the IPL so far, and the Hyderabad-based team currently leads the head-to-head 6-5.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and chose to bat first. The opening pair of Bairstow and Warner were off to a steady start. However, in the fifth over, Bairstow got out to a spectacular catch by Samson. But the 73-run partnership Manish Pandey and David Warner helped SRH to get back into the game.

IPL 2020: Tewatia rises to occasion as Rajasthan beat Hyderabad by 5 wickets

Hyderabad cruised to a 69-run win against Punjab in Match 22 of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">2020 IPL</a>, at Dubai. Hyderabad got 201/6 largely due to a 160-run opening stand off 91 balls, between David Warner (52 in 40 balls) and Jonny Bairstow (97 in 55). Punjab were then bowled out for a mere 132, Rashid Khan leading the way with 4-1-12-3, the high point being a double-wicket maiden in the 15th over.

In the My11 Circle Cricbuzz Live, Michael Vaughan praised the Hyderabad openers: “If they come out and play the way they did today, the Warner-Bairstow combination … When they have a night out, they are very difficult to stop. They run between the wickets hard, they are powerful, [they are a] left-hand-right-hand combination.”

“He is a class act,” added Vaughan, making special mention of Bairstow, who was named Player of the Match. “If you look at white-ball cricket of the last five years, you have to put him in the top bracket because of the consistent levels at which he has performed … He is a powerful player. You can see the way he can strike the ball. He is so busy, so difficult to keep quiet because he runs between the wickets so hard.”

Vaughan criticised Punjab’s strategies, pointing out that Mujeeb Ur Rahman is not good enough to bat at No. 7. “There are too many brains, too many chefs in the kitchen. It’s a simple game that has almost been overcomplicated … But the basics of the game haven’t changed. I don’t care what format it is – you don’t send Mujeeb to deal [with] Rashid [Khan]”.

“To be brutally honest, they [Punjab] have got some good individuals that, on their day, can surprise anyone,” added Vaughan, citing the example of Nicholas Pooran, who helped himself to the fastest fifty of the season, off 17 balls, and finished on 77 from 37 balls. However, Vaughan concluded that “is just not a good team,” contrasting them with more balanced sides like Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata.

“Anil Kumble, as we know him, is very systems-driven,” Bhogle expressed his surprise at Punjab’s tendency to frequently chop and change members from the playing XI. “Anil has been there, done that, he has been in the Mumbai Indians, he has been a magnificent captain for India, so that’s what surprises me a little bit.”

Thanks to the win, Hyderabad are now at third place, while Punjab are still languishing at the bottom.

From Warner to Bhuvi: SRH players sweat it out before clash with KKR

Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner was critical of the ‘dot balls’ played by his team’s batsman during the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 </a>against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Warner said that SRH batsmen played too many dot balls during the middle overs while adding it was “unacceptable” in T20 cricket.&nbsp;

“We need to push as hard as we can. You can see from our running between the wickets, we do that. But we got to improve our boundary percentage.

We just mis-executed in the middle,” Warner said in the post-match press conference.&nbsp;
