Sunrisers' seamers snuff out Knight Riders

An aggregate had been effectively guarded in three out of five matches on moderate Feroz Shah Kotla surfaces this season. There was no motivation behind why Sunrisers Hyderabad, with one of the best rocking the bowling alley assaults in the opposition in spite of Ashish Nehra's nonappearance, couldn't protect 163 in a knockout amusement. Kolkata Knight Riders, the two-time champions, had won six out of their eight amusements pursuing. This was an even challenge on a pitch genuinely like the ones at Eden Gardens. Be that as it may, taught knocking down some pins and remarkable handling by Sunrisers wrecked Knight Riders and by goodness of the 22-run win, Sunrisers have set up a conflict with Gujarat Lions in the second qualifier in Delhi on Friday.
It wasn't a night for hyper six-hitting yet Yuvraj Singh's 30-ball 44 had every one of the components that made him a dreaded restricted overs batsman quite a long time ago. However the exertion that underlined his significance on Wednesday was an immediate hit from in reverse point to release Colin Munro early and actuate alarm among the Knight Riders.
It likewise lifted a unit that connected weight cordiality David Warner's prudent playing changes to raise the asking rate. Bhuvneshwar Kumar pulled off a shocking catch at profound midwicket to release the in-structure Yusuf Pathan to further imprint Knight Riders. At 69 for 4 in the eleventh over, they were solidly behind in the amusement.
A down to business challenge woke up as Manish Pandey and Suryakumar Yadav counterpunched, their 46-run stand, bound with strangeness, brought on a couple vacillates in the Sunrisers camp, yet there was dependably the threat of them dying in the mission for the huge hits. Suryakumar, who was reprieved in the fifteenth over by Mustafizur Rahman at third man, miscued a trudge to Shikhar Dhawan in the following over to leave Knight Riders requiring 47 off 24.
Warner summoned his trump card Mustafizur for the first of his two remaining overs, and he reacted by yielding only eight. With no alternative yet to search for fast runs, Pandey continued swinging, one of which discovered Deepak Hooda at long-on. Bhuvneshwar, who completed with 3 for 19, took after the release by skewering in yorkers and full-length conveyances which the batsmen couldn't get underneath. It was lessened to a round of hit-and-miss from that point on, much like it was in the primary half when Yusuf Pathan and Morne Morkel had Sunrisers, who were sent in, battling for early energy.
Dhawan's initial wicket constrained Warner to tread mindfully. He scored his first limit off his tenth conveyance, yet his strategies digressed from the standard thing. Rather than strong hits, he depended on the drive and touching behind the wicket. He was reprieved on 10 when Yusuf put down a troublesome chance off his own rocking the bowling alley, however he would just go ahead to include 18 more. Henriques completed with 31 off 21 and went ahead to get two wickets also.
By pressing three extra overs from Yusuf in the Powerplay, Gambhir guaranteed he had control over the center overs. His bowlers likewise constrained Warner's off-side play by adhering to tight lines. The initial six was hit by Henriques, when he pulled Yusuf towards profound midwicket to flag Sunrisers' turn; the initial six overs, four of which were knocked down some pins by the spinners, delivered 43.
Left-arm wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav, presented in the eighth over, was difficult to pick. And also Warner and Henriques did to turn strike, the pair discovered limit hitting troublesome, as a three-over period after the initial six brought only one four. Kuldeep abused the weight to daze Sunrisers with a twofold strike. Subsequent to taking a skier off his own particular knocking down some pins to send Henriques back, he clean rocked the bowling alley Warner with a wrong' un that beat his trudge clear. At 71 for 3 with 10 overs left, Sunrisers needed to begin anew.
Yuvraj exited to a slip and senseless point, and was put through an examination by the wily Narine. He could dismantle Kuldeep however and one of his two hurled hits was soaks with his old swagger. He hustled to 18 off 12. When he begins off in that design, particularly on a ground with short limits, it focuses to inauspicious signs.
Hooda was unflinching by the complain at the flip side; profound midwicket being his favored zone. He trudged two sublimely coordinated sixes, however his pursue out a mistake with Yuvraj in the sixteenth over - Kuldeep affected an immediate hit at the bowler's end from mid-off - slowed down Sunrisers' once more.
By then, Yuvraj was in an antagonistic state of mind as he picked three leg-side limits before a planned scoop against Jason Holder brought about the smoothing of his center stump. Bipul Sharma smacking Morkel for two sixes in the last over gave them energy going into the break, which they rode on to guarantee IPL 2016 will have another champion.


Sunrisers Hyderabad 162 for 8 (Yuvraj 44, Kuldeep 3-35) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 140 for 8 (Pandey 36, Bhuvneshwar 3-19) beat by 22 runs
