T Natarajan to Arshdeep Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! That is it! Comprehensive win for Hyderabad and Natarajan finishes with two wickets. Full around off, Arshdeep hits it uppishly straight to Warner at mid off. Too safe a pair of hands to drop those. HYDERABAD WIN BY 69 RUNS!

T Natarajan to Sheldon Cottrell, OUT! The sweet sound of Timber! First wicket for Natarajan in this innings! A perfect yorker on middle and off, it would trouble any top batsman so it is too good for a number 11. Cottrell is slow to get his bat down and Natarajan strikes. Just a wicket away are Hyderabad.

Sandeep Sharma to Ravi Bishnoi, FOUR! Bishnoi did the job with the ball and he will try to do something with the bat as well. Full on middle and off, Bishnoi lofts it straight down the ground and gets a boundary.

Rashid Khan to Mohammed Shami, OUT! LBW! Two in two for Rashid and he finishes with a double wicket maiden to finish with the figures of 4-1-12-3. Googly on off, Shami looks to defend but misses and gets hit on the pad. The ball hits him on the pad. An appeal follows and the umpire has no qualms raising his finger. Shami looks around for a review but Punjab do not have any left.

Rashid Khan to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! GAME! SET! MATCH! - Hyderabad! The Afghan superstar does the trick and Warner's ploy to bowl his trump card to the left hander has paid its dividend. Short and spinning away from Nicholas Pooran. He punches it uppishly but straight to cover. Khaleel there makes no mistake and takes the catch and one can also say he takes the match. Did not understand the ploy not to take a single and once you get negative in this game it pays off badly and that is what has happened.

Khaleel Ahmed to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, OUT! So out is how it stays and Mujeeb walks back and takes the only review along with him. Not sure why he reviewed there when he was willingly walking back after the initiall referral. Coming to the ball now. It is a full one outside off, Mujeeb looks to jam it out but there is a noise as the ball passes the bal. Bairstow takes it and both the bowler and the keeper appeal. The umpire does not make any decision. He waits to see if Hyderabad review but they don't. The umpire now takes it upstaurs to check if it is a bump ball. Replays roll in and they show it is not a bump ball and OUT flashes on the bigscreen. Mujeeb start walking back but he has been asked to review it from the pavillion. He does so but Snicko shows there is an edge. He eventually has to walk back.

Khaleel Ahmed to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! Just short of the man at deep square leg. Length ball on off, Pooran pulls it. Samad at deep square leg comes in front and dives forward to take the catch but the ball falls in front of him and goes away to the fence.

Rashid Khan to Mandeep Singh, OUT! BOWLED! Rashid does the trick with the googly. The best batters in the world have struggled to pick this Afghanistan spinners variation and Mandeep too has failed. It is the wrong 'un bowled at pace around off, Mandeep looks to defend but the ball goes right between his bat and pad to hit the stumps. Rashid is up in celebration so is the whole of Hyderabad.

T Natarajan to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! Maxwell is indeed short! A run out is the last thing Punjab would have wanted! Maxwell's poor show in this edition continues. Also, Hyderabad will breathe a huge sigh of relief as they needed to break this stand. It is a full ball on off, Maxwell drives it to Garg at covers and takes off. PG has one stump to aim at and he hits. He is jumping around in celebration. Maxwell is already walking back but the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that Maxwell is short. Hyderabad back on top. 97 needed in 54.

T Natarajan to Nicholas Pooran, FOUR! A little too straight and that is poor bowling with fine leg up. A full toss on the pads, it is worked past him and to the boundary.

Abdul Samad to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! 28 runs in the over with a ball to go! Samad drags his length back this time. Pooran rocks back and pulls it hard. It goes just over the mid-wicket fence. Can he hit 5 in the over?

Abdul Samad to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! The fifty comes up in style! Fastest in this year's Indian T20 League! That is also his 6th six so far. Brilliant from him. He needs to keep going though. It is full and in the slot again. It is lofted over the long off fence for a huge one.

Abhishek Sharma to KL Rahul, OUT! TAKEN! Abhishek Sharma gets the big fish and he is over the moon! Brilliant from the youngster. He might be under so much of pressure after going for 13 from the first three balls but he has now got the skipper of Rahul. KL looks to continue the pressure on the young one as he tries to play the sweep. There is extra bounce and hence, the top edge. It goes towards Kane Williamson at deep square leg who makes no mistake. Punjab in real trouble now. However, one could argue, Rahul did not need to play that. He could have easily given the strike over to Pooran and let him take on the left-arm spinner.

Abhishek Sharma to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Two in a row but this is right in the slot! Fuller and on middle, easy for Pooran. He lifts it over the long on fence for another biggie. 12 from the first two balls. Can they make this over a huge one?

Abhishek Sharma to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Pooran is in some mood today! Takes on the left-arm spinner straightaway! This is full and in the arc. Pooran lofts it over the mid on fence for a biggie. Excellent start to the over.

T Natarajan to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Picked up and it goes all the way! Angled into the pads, Pooran goes down on one knee and lofts it well over the square leg fence for a biggie.

Khaleel Ahmed to Prabhsimran Singh, OUT! CAUGHT! The rub of the green going Hyderabad's way! This was not a shot you get out to because he absolutely middled it. Good length ball outside off, Prabhsimran Singh crunches his punch as it makes a cracking sound as it hits the bat. His shot though is uppish and straight to Priyam Garg at cover. He pouches it safely. Not easy as the ball was travelling like a bullet to him.

Khaleel Ahmed to Mayank Agarwal, OUT! RUN OUT! Oh dear me! This is what Punjab did not want! Excellent fielding from Warner. His commitment and athleticism has made this wicket happen. Good length ball around off, Mayank Agarwal drives it to the left and away of extra cover. Warner runs behind it and then stops it with a dive. Mayank and Rahul finish the first run and go for the second. They both come halfway down but Rahul then sees the ball has been stopped by Warner and changes his mind. Agarwal is in no man's land. Warner sends the throw perfectly at the bowler's end and Khaleel does the restt.

Sandeep Sharma to Mayank Agarwal, FOUR! Lovely timing and placement! Good length ball around off and it moves away from him. Agarwal leans on his drive and hits it right off the middle through extra cover for a boundary. Did not look to hit it hard but just timed it to perfection.
