SRH vs KXIP – April 17 2017 - Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad – SRH won by 5 runs

A close game of cricket where fine margins separated the two teams but it was Sunrisers Hyderabad who came out on top in the end. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s five-wicket haul overshadowed a brilliant 95 from Manan Vohra for Punjab.

Hyderabad at home is going to be a tough challenge for Ravichandran Ashwin’s team but if they get the two points, it will be a huge booster for their confidence.
