In a mid-table clash that would help the winners strengthen their bid for the play-offs place, Kings XI Punjab were completely outplayed by Sunrisers Hyderabad, who with their 45-run victory not only moved up𒊎 to the fourth position but also boosted their already positive Net Run Rate.
David Warner made his final IPL 2019 outing count with a sensational 81 off 56 balls – along with useful contributions from the top-order batsmen – setting up the Sunrisers’ total of 212 for 6.
In reply, KXIP opener KL Rahul scored a fighting 79 off 56 but lack of support from the other end, with Rashid Khan running through the middle order, condemned Ravichandran Ashwin & Co. to their seventh loss in 12 games.
