IPL Highlights, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Vs (RPS) Rising Pune Supergiant
IPL Highlights and ball-by-ball commentary from the 44th T20 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and (RPS)Rising Pune Supergiant at Rajiv Gandhi International stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday.
A brilliant bowling performance from Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) saw them beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 12 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad on Saturday. Failing to capitalise on the flying start given by Shikhar Dhawan (19) and David Warner (40), SRH couldn't keep up with the required run-rate. Courtesy of disciplined Pune bowling, Hyderabad were not allowed to score runs at will. With wickets falling at regular intervals, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their momentum. Yuvraj Singh scored the highest for Hyderabad, 47, while Jaydev Unadkat took his first IPL hat-trick in the last over of the game and finished with figures of five for 30. After this win, Pune are placed second on the table with 16 points.
Earlier, a good bowling performance by the Sunrisers Hyderabad restricted Rising Pune Supergiant to 148 for eight in 20 overs in the 44th match of the IPL on Saturday. After losing Rahul Tripathi early, Pune failed to get going and lost wickets at regular wickets. Disciplined bowling from SRH did not allow the Pune batsmen to open their arms and only let them score a single boundary in the powerplay. For Hyderabad, Siddharth Kaul finished with figures of four for 29 in his four overs while for Pune, Ben Stokes scored the highest, 39. Keeping in mind the form of some Sunrisers' batsmen, Pune will need to work doubly hard to win the match and carry on with their winning run. (SCORECARD)

IPL Highlights: SRH vs RPS
Right, then! That's it from us for this game. But do join us for the next one as Delhi host Mumbai at the Feroz Shah Kotla. It begins in a short while. See you folks there.
Man of the Match, Jaydev Unadkat says it's brilliant that they've come out on top of the table. Adds that he is happy with the fact that everybody contributed to it and also with his performance today. Mentions that the batting department has been doing well and the talks in the dressing room have been really helpful. Admits that he is really happy now and will look to adapt to different wickets. Ends by saying that their next match is in Delhi and he will be looking to adapt to that quickly as well.
Pune skipper, Steven Smith says that his team adapted really well. Thinks that their score was under par but the bowlers bowled really well. Feels that the stronger boys timed the ball really well. Praises Jaydev Unadkat for his performance and says that he deserved the hat-trick. Adds that the key was to use the longer side of the ground which they did it really well. Hopes to finish in top two.
Hyderabad skipper, David Warner says he isn't too sure what went wrong. Mentions that he is disappointed with the batting order. Stresses the importance of how somebody should go on till the end to try and win these kind of games. Admits they made some errors in judgement towards the end and that's cost them the game. States they're all accountable for their loss, no single person is responsible for it. Credits Jaydev Unadkat for his amazing bowling performance and is annoyed with the kind of wicket they played on today, which was similar to the one when they played against Punjab. Ends by thanking the crowd for their amazing support.
Thirteen runs were needed off the last over but Jaydev Unadkat didn't even give a single run and picked up a hat-trick as well. He finished with the figures of 4-1-30-5! He was well-supported by Ben Stokes, who had another great outing with the ball, picking up a 3-fer. Imran Tahir was the other bowler with a wicket to his name. Overall it was a great team performance from them, which led to this victory.
Pune held their nerve to breach the Hyderabad fortress. After putting to bat first, cameos from Stokes and Dhoni took their team to a decent total. Dhawan and Warner started the chase positively, especially the former. But, after the Indian opener departed, the skipper carried on and along with Yuvraj Singh stitched a 54-run stand. Once he departed, runs started drying up but the Indian veteran still held one end before he holed out.
A triple-wicket maiden for Jaydev Unadkat. If there was an ideal last over to bowl in an innings, then this is it. Simply outstanding. He serves it on a back of a length outside off, Siddarth Kaul taps it to extra cover and wants the run. There's a slight mix-up and in the end, no run is taken. PUNE WIN BY 12 RUNS!
Slower length delivery coming in on middle and off, Siddarth Kaul backs away a bit and attempts to push it away on the off side. Misses and the ball goes over the stumps.
Ashish Nehra is the last man in.
OUT! HAT-TRICK FOR JAYDEV UNADKAT! This is a stupendous over from the left-arm pacer. Wow. He has a 5-wicket haul too and with that, he completes 100 Indian T20 League wickets too. Superb. Back of a length delivery around off, Bhuvneshwar Kumar looks to hit it away but gets it off the splice. Lobs into the hands of Manoj Tiwary at extra cover who runs in a few paces to take it.
