Sunrisers Hyderabad produced a clinical performance to register a convincing eight-wicket victory over Punjab Kings and open their account in the ongoing Indian Premier League in Hyderabad on Sunday. With SRH chasing 144 after spinner Mayank Markande's (4/15) exploits with ball, Rahul Tripathi sizzled with an unbeaten 48-ball 74 to help his side complete the task in 17.1 overs. Skipper Aiden Markram remained not out on 37 off 21 balls, and their efforts ensured that Shikhar Dhawan's 66-ball 99 not out, which lifted Punjab Kings to 143 for nine, went in vain.
With the win over PBKS, SRH rose to the 7th spot from the bottom position in the points table. On the other hand, Punjab remained at the 6th spot, where they had slipped after Kolkata Knight Riders' win over Gujarat Titans in last-ball thriller in Ahmedabad.
