	Sunrisers Hyderabad innings (20 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	PA Patel†	b Faulkner	2	6	0	0	33.33
	1.1 bowled him, inside edge and PP's gone! was short of length outside the off stump and he was trying to steer it down to third-man, gets only an inside edge on to the stumps and it's rattled 3/1
	S Dhawan	c Rahane b Faulkner	1	3	0	0	33.33
	1.6 and gone again! two wickets for Faulkner, Dhawan's hit it straight to the point fielder, two down! was on a length and the batsman was looking to drive it on the up, gets the outer half of the bat and it runs to the right of the point fielder 4/2
	GH Vihari	c Sachin Baby b Trivedi	19	28	0	0	67.85
	10.3 leading edge and caught! it was on his pads and he was looking to flick it away to the leg side, the ball did not seem to come on to the bat and the leading edge goes quite high there, comes down safely into the laps of Baby 49/4
	CL White*	c Trivedi b Watson	0	1	0	0	0.00
	2.4 gone, third wicket, White's hooked it to fine-leg! was a short of length delivery and it was White's first delivery, he seemed to have gone for the hook rather reflexively and hits it to the fielder, who had to move a little to his left and take it high, does well! 5/3
	BB Samantray	c Cooper b Faulkner	55	46	6	1	119.56
	18.3 caught, at long-on, fourth one for Faulkner! was a slower one from back of the hand, it seems to have gripped and his aggressive shot it defeated by the lack of pace, does not get as much power as he would have liked and it's gone to Cooper, who takes a decent catch there 125/6
	DJG Sammy	c Hodge b Faulkner	23	19	1	1	121.05
	16.2 wants to go over the top but is caught! that's on a length and he wants to smack it over the long-off fielder, gave himself some room too there but does not come off the middle and Hodge takes a very good catch coming in 105/5
	NLTC Perera	not out	17	13	0	0	130.76
	DW Steyn	b Faulkner	0	1	0	0	0.00
	18.6 bowled him, five-for James Faulkner, his second of this IPL and against the same opponent! this was a very full ball, and on the middle stump, Steyn was looking to play it across the line and misses, the stump gets a fair hit and it's lying on the ground 129/7
	KV Sharma	run out (Binny/Sachin Baby/Cooper)	4	3	0	0	133.33
	19.5 from Cooper, out, run-out! slower delivery and he's not going to stop going after it, the slowness beats him too and it's gone high but it's in the gap between the long-off and deep cover, both the fielders converge, one of them, Binny stops it on the bounce and flicks it to the other, Baby, who rips a strong throw at the non-striker's end where the bails are whipped off, the batsmen were going for the third and is run-out! 136/8
	A Mishra	run out (Cooper)	0	0	0	0	-
	19.6 Cooper to Perera, slower on the middle stump and he cannot hit it too well, off the toe of the bat back to the bowler who lobs it back at the non-striker's end where the batsman has taken a start and is easily run-out 136/9
	Extras	(b 1, lb 9, w 5)	15
	Total	(9 wickets; 20 overs)	136	(6.80 runs per over)

	R Dravid*	run out (White)	25	24	2	1	104.16
	7.3 from Mishra, gone, run-out, Dravid's walking back! shorter in length and he pushes it to the off, they go for a single but a misfield by the bowler followed by a good fielding effort from White and a direct hit at the non-striker's end sees Dravid out, by some distance too! 39/1
	AM Rahane	c Dhawan b KV Sharma	12	25	0	1	48.00
	8.4 goes down the track and hits it straight to the deep cover fielder! it was tossed up and he goes down the pitch to hit it over wide long-off but slices it more towards the deep extra-cover fielder, a scratchy knock comes to an end 40/2
	SR Watson	c Sammy b Perera	11	20	0	0	55.00
	13.3 gone, caught, that's the end of Watson! was a short of length delivery, he looks to hit it over wide long-on but does not get it off the middle and Sammy's caught him there 61/4
	SV Samson†	c Steyn b Mishra	5	7	0	0	71.42
	11.5 gone, caught, straight to the long-off fielder! floats it up to the bat and entices it go over the top, he opens his stance a little but cannot get as much power as he would have wanted, straight to Steyn at long-off, three down now 51/3
	STR Binny	b Perera	8	8	1	0	100.00
	13.6 bowled him, two of them, the stumps are lying scattered now!it's on a length and he was looking to play it across, misses it completely and the off and the middle stumps gets a solid knocking 65/5
	BJ Hodge	b Steyn	8	7	1	0	114.28
	17.1 bowled him, that's sent the off stump on a cart-wheel, it was outside the off and on a length, he had no option but to cut it, wasn't that quick and it sneaks through and hits the off, another down 85/8
	Sachin Baby	lbw b Mishra	3	7	0	0	42.85
	15.5 gone there, given lbw to a reverse sweep! he had no option but to go for the runs, he was looking to reverse it but gets no bat on it, it dips on the batsman and hits his pads, loud appeal follows and ump rules it in the favour of the bowler 75/6
	JP Faulkner	c Perera b KV Sharma	6	3	0	1	200.00
	16.3 and this time he's caught, was attempting to play that same stroke yet again, what it does is to get a leading edge that carries to long-off for a simple catch 82/7
	K Cooper	c Samantray b Steyn	26	12	3	1	216.66
	19.4 and again, he throws his bat at it and gets the toe of the bat through to the deep point fielder, who takes a straight-forward catch 112/9
