After winning the toss, KKR chose to bat first, with the openers dominating the bowlers right from the get go. Against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792’s potent bowling attack it was crucial for the batting side to get off to a flying start or else posting a challenging total
on the board may have been difficult.
KKR’s opening stand of 59 runs, set the tone of the match as MS Bisla and G Gambhir hammered the bowlers all around the park. This partnership met its end on the wicket of Bisla, who perished after scoring 28 runs off 24 deliveries.
The second-wicket partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashish-Reddy-c1095 after belting a knock of 53 runs off
45 deliveries.

deliveries.
Kallis was then the next to lose his wicket on a run out after he had played a fine innings of 41 runs. Nonetheless, KKR had managed to post 180 runs on the board, which was enough to unnerve their opponents.
Sunrisers began their run chase in a staggering fashion with the openers PA Patel and CL White posting 57 runs together.

runs.
CL White (34) was next to go, leaving his side with 68 runs on the board. Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779 was disappointing today as he could score only two runs before finding his way back to the pavilion.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/NLTC-Perera-c2121 as the highest scorer with 36 runs under his belt, Hyderabad crumbed on 132.
