Kolkata just didn't turn up for this game. Their bowling was toothless to say the least and the batsmen also failed to come to the party. Apart from Robin Uthappa, who stroked yet another fluent half century, there wasn't much fight shown by the two-time champions. Even after this loss, they stay on top of the table and won't be too disheartened.
Emphatic win for Hyderabad! They delivered a clinical performance against the team on top of the points table and outclassed them in all the facets of the game. Powered by David Warner's 59-ball 126, they amassed a big total on the board and then their bowlers completed the job quite efficiently. All the three leading pacers picked two wickets apiece and always kept the visiting team on the back foot. Hyderabad remain unbeaten at home this season and consolidate their third spot.
OUT! HYDERABAD WIN BY 48 RUNS! Slower one at 119 kph, full around off, de Grandhomme clears his front leg and lofts it over mid off. It travels high in the air. Rashid Khan in the deep again catches it with ease. This is some victory for Hyderabad.
Banged in short, de Grandhomme goes for the pull but misses it completely.
Another slower one on a length, Woakes looks to loft it but ends up chipping it off the inner half towards deep mid-wicket for a single.
FOUR! Slower delivery on a length outside off, guided through the gap between backward point and short third man for a boundary.
Very full outside off, de Grandhomme jams it through cover-point for a single.
