Adds that the work from the groundstaff at their home venues was commendable. Feels that they did not make most of the big opening stand and that cost them the game.

Shikhar Dhawan got the visitors off to a brisk start while David Warner played second fiddle. But Praveen Kumar pulled things back when he sent back the former and Moises Henriques in his second over. The skipper though kept marching on calmly and had the young Vijay Shankar for company. Both of them were given a life - Warner was not given out caught behind early in the innings while Shankar was dropped on 6. They both made them pay with an unbeaten 133-run stand to seal the deal for their side.

Hyderabad have put in a clinical show and booked their place in the playoffs. After winning the toss, they put Gujarat to bat. Ishan Kishan and Dwayne Smith got the hosts off to a flying start scoring 105 in the first 10 overs. Once they departed, the innings crumbled like a pack of cards and the home side only managed to post 154.

FOUR! Playoff spot, sealed for Hyderabad! Fuller on middle, Warner gets under it and just lofts it over the head of the bowler for a boundary. HYDERABAD WIN BY 8 WICKETS!

Ankit Soni called back on to bowl. Just a run needed for the visitors.

Yorker around off, Shankar digs it out off the inside edge towards the keeper. He wants a single but it is not on. We will have one more over.

FOUR! Good shot! Shorter in length outside off, Vijay Shankar gets under it and pulls it over mid-wicket. The ball falls just near the ropes. The umpire refers it upstairs to check if it was a boundary or a maximum. Replays show it was a boundary. SCORES LEVEL!
