19 no. match between SRH and KKR stopped due to rain. KKR won the toss and decided to field first. SRH failed to did a big score. David Warner's
buccaneering knock took SRH to a sizeable total. It was a typical
innings from Warner as he explored every nook and cranny of the ground
with his wide array of shots. In the second over itself he collected a
boundary off Morne Morkel through on-side. He also used the switch-hit to cart Johan Botha for a four in the sixth over. Warner then touched fabulous peaks by landing mighty blows off Umesh Yadav, Yusuf Pathan and Sunil Narine.
He was eventually dismissed by Morkel, just nine runs short of what
would have been a well-deserved hundred. Warner's knock of 91 is the
highest score registered by a SRH batsman in the IPL. Shikhar Dhawan
too played a fluent hand and helped Warner stitch a century stand. They
became the first opening pair in the history of the IPL to notch up
three century stands. However, it has to be said that the hosts lost
their way a bit in the slog overs. For the visitors, Botha and Morkel
kept the lid on the scoring rate, while rest of the bowlers put up a
disappointing show.
At the moment, we have started losing overs now. The rain though hasn't stopped.
