Sunrisers Hyderabad registered a stunning 69-run win over Kings XI Punjab which helped them to be placed at the third spot in the points table as well. However, there were a few stunning performances which also included the captain David Warner and Jonny Bairstow’s winning foundation of 160 runs for the first wicket.

While Warner scored 52 off 40 with 5 fours and a six, his opening partner Jonny Bairstow registered a scintillating 97 off 55 with 7 fours and 6 sixes as well. 

Although they lost a few wickets in between, Kane Williamson’s unbeaten 20 off 10 and Abhishek Sharma’s 6-ball 12 helped Hyderabad reached the 200-run mark as they ended up scoring 201 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs.
Despite the trembling situation of Punjab, Nicholas Pooran tried his best with a 77 from 37 balls with 5 fours and 7 sixes. 

His knock gave trouble to the opposition. To which Warner said, "I was a bit nervous while Nicholas was hitting it over the stands. I have always had high prospects of that kid. I was fortunate to play in Bangladesh with him. You always think, 'What can I do, how can I get him out?'."

However, it was Rashid Khan, who sent Pooran in the pavilion. "He's (Rashid) a world-class bowler, it's great to have him. He always delivers in pressure situations. He loves that stuff. What a player,” Warner added while speaking about Rashid Khan.
