Right. Hyderabad need 126 to get just their second win of the campaign. Their batting has been under the scanner and they will be looking to deliver. Batting on this deck, as seen in the first innings, is not an easy task, and so, this will not be the easiest chase for the Orange Army. Punjab have a pretty good bowling attack too. It is building up to be an interesting second essay. Stay tuned for the run chase.

Hyderabad will be mightly pleased with how the first half of this game has gone by. Their bowling has been top-notch in this game and their bowlers have set up this game perfectly for their batters, who will now want to come out and complete the job. They kept picking wickets in a timely manner and never let the Punjab batters off the hook. Jason Holder was the star as he ended with figures of 4-0-19-3. Sandeep Sharma and Rashid Khan shared 2 amongst themselves and were pretty economical. Bhuvneshwar Kumar got a wicket to his name but was a touch expensive. Their fielding was also on point in this game as they almost gulped down everything that came their way.

Usually, Punjab's openers, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal do well to lay the platform for their side, but, on this occasion, they never seemed to find their tempo. They struggled slightly at the start and they both lost their wicket to Holder in the 5th over. Chris Gayle and Aiden Markram steadied things slightly with their slow 30-run stand, but Gayle and Pooran were sent back in quick succession. All eyes were laid on Markram, but even he struggled to get going on this deck and holed out for a tame 32-ball 27. Ellis and Brar tried hard but were never able to find that final flourish.

Rashid Khan says that they adjusted to the conditions well and have bowled well in this game. Adds that cutters will always be hard to hit on this pitch. Says that the wicket of Gayle was a big one and that pushed Punjab back. Further adds that Gayle is still the Universe Boss and can hit the ball a long way on his day.

Strategic Time-Out! Hyderabad are well on top at the moment. They never allowed any Punjab batter to let loose and have also done well to keep taking wickets regularly. Now, they will be hoping to end the innings well and not let the Punjab batters cross the 130-run mark. Punjab will be hoping that their batters could go hard and help them push to around the 145-run mark. Also, Nathan Ellis walks out for Punjab!
