Kings XI Punjab vs Sun riser Hyderabad


Maxwell again unleashed the storm against Sun riser Hyderabad

Maxwell played incredible innings last night which helped Kings XI Punjab to get formidable win over Sun riser Hyderabad and lead in the points table. Aristocratic Maxwell smashed 9 behemoth sixes and scored 95 off 43.  Batting first Kings XI set up the total of 193 runs which was mounting target. Both Sehwag and Pujara laid down the foundation stone for their team and bestowed flying start to their team. The platform was well set up for Maxwell when he walked in subsequently he laid down the finishing stone for his team. He had plenty of luck as well which comprise catch dropped by Warner and caught off a no - ball that reprieved Maxwell . Sun riser also didn't bring on their prominent weapon, Dale Steyn, when the Maxwell was in the midst of his carnage.

The highlight on the onslaught was the 13th over when Maxwell effortlessly cleared mid wicket off the first three deliveries before launching one towards the sightscreen to take 25 runs off Amit Mishra. This innings had fewer of the switch-hits and reverse-sweeps and was more about clean hitting down the ground and, especially, over midwicket.  

On the other hand Sun riser Hyderabad have a dangerous top order - any of Shikhar, Warner or Finch can single-handedly transform the match - but they also have a debacle unbalanced batting line up. After the batting line-up. After the big three, the batting is alarmingly thin - KL Rahul is still finding his way at this level. V Rao and Irfan Pathan both aren't someone team has bank upon and Darren Sammy is great at providing the finishing touches but less proficient at building the base.  

Sun riser Hyderabad had succumb in front of mercy attack of Kings XI. Captain George Bailey was quite complacent with his bowlers yesterday. Johnson hunted Dhawan subsequently Balaji made his double breakthrough, it was a hour - long dirge for Sunriser's fans before it ended in a crushing 72 run defeat, leaving them with plently of questions over the composition of the team.
