Khalil Ahmed's (three for 21) excellent bowling and opener Johnny Barristo (not out 63) and captain David Warner (37) in a 73-run opening partnership helped Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Punjab Kings XI in the IPL. I have registered my first victory in the tournament by defeating by nine wickets on Wednesday.
Hyderabad stopped Punjab by 120 runs in 19.4 overs and scored 121 runs for the loss of one wicket in 18.4 overs.
Hyderabad had lost their first three matches and won the fourth match, taking them to fifth in the points table.
The Punjab team suffered its third defeat in four matches and has now slipped to the bottom and eighth position in the points table.
Barristo made 63 off 56 balls with three fours and three fours. Captain Warner hit three fours and a six off 37 balls. Ken Williamson scored 16 not out off 19 balls.
