Dubai,22 Oct.2020
Bright Punjab Express-Sports Desk: A fiery knock of 83 off 47 balls guided Sunrisers Hyderabad to an eight-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in game 40 of the Indian Premier League 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Chasing a modest total of 155, Hyderabad got off to a poor start, losing openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow in the first three overs.
Pandey capitalised on the remaining overs of the powerplay and found an able partner in the form of Vijay Shankar. The two built up an unbeaten partnership of 140 that sailed the team through the total with eight wickets to spare. The David Warner-men are alive in the race to the playoffs with these much-needed two points.
“I think the way we started was fantastic. We were able to bring it back after the powerplay. It’s been a complete game, we have been asking for. Good to see two guys getting the reward for their hard work,” Warner said after the match.
