SRH innings

SRH needs 71 runs from 83 balls with 10 wickets in hand. It has lost this game by 12 runs losing all 10 wickets. Incredible. It looked like Pandey and Shankar were going to see out another chase at the end of 16 overs, when SRH needed 28 runs from 24 balls. But Chris Jordan and Arshdeep came on to trigger a remarkable collapse where the Hyderabad side lost 7 wickets for 15 runs.

Single from Garg. Sandeep is caught out going for a big shot. Mururgan Ashwin with the catch. Slower ball and Garg holes out to Jordan next ball. SRH is nine down. What a comeback this is from KXIP and how has SRH manage to throw this away!? Dot ball to Khaleel. Khaleel is run out at the non-striker's end. It's all over and Punjab has won this!

14 to win off the final over. Garg to face up to Arshdeep, who will bowl from around the wicket.

A big conference in the KXIP camp. Jordan to bowl the penultimate over. Single from Holder to start the over. Single from Garg. Half-volley and Jordan holes out to Mandeep Singh at extra cover.

Arshdeep for the 18th. Shankar goes for a quick single and would have been dismissed with a direct hit. Unfortunately, the throw from Maxwell ends up striking Shankar on the helmet and he is receiving some medical attention. Arshdeep strikes next ball! From around the wicket, he manages to draw the outside edge of Shankar's bat. Hyderabad five down. Just three runs from it. SRH 110/5 in 18 overs

Wide to start from Jordan. WICKET! Pandey's straight hit was travelling for a six but substitute Suchith comes out of nowhere, leaps to complete an excellent catch!  Jason Holder is the new man in. Lofted straight drive from Shankar to finish the over. A much-needed boundary for SRH. SRH 107/4 in 17 overs

Jordan with a superb grab. Time out taken. This game isn't quite done yet. Vijay Shankar is the new man in. SRH 67/3 in 9 overs

Bairstow goes for a reverse sweep and has his stumps rearranged. Ashwin gets his man as the batsman completely misses the line of the ball.  Samad is the new man in. SRH 61/2 in 8 overs

More leg spin in the form of Ravi Bishnoi and Warner welcomes him with a reverse sweep past short third man for a four. He goes for a second reverse sweep and seems to miss it completely but Rahul claims there was an edge. He calls for a review.  Warner begins to walk as the third umpire reviews it. WICKET! Warner has to go. Manish Pandey is in. Bishnoi traps Bairstow in front with a wrong 'un. Umpire shakes his head but Rahul reviews this one too. Bairstow had put in a big stride and the ball goes on to miss the stumps. Review lost. SRH 57/1 in 7 overs

Bairstow brings out the reverse sweep and the ball races past the point fielder for a four. Conventional sweep and the result is the same! A sweeter connection on this one. 50 up for SRH. SRH 52/0 in 6 overs

Shami to bowl his third. Warner clears his front leg and pulls a short ball straight past the bowler for a four! Slapped to the deep mid-wicket boundary for a four to end the over. Warner is in a hurry to get those two points on board. SRH 44/0 in 5 overs

Murugan Ashwin comes on to bowl. A slip in place. Warner sweeps hard for a single. A wrong 'un and Bairstow nearly chops it on. Unlucky for Ashwin as Bairstow gets a thick edge on to another google which flies between Rahul and Gayle at slip for a four. SRH 34/0 in 4 overs

Warner starts with a two. Shami gets one to rap the pads of Warner at speed but the ball was pitching outside leg. Shami bowls it wide and full, Warner slashes it over deep cover for a six! SRH 10/0 in 1 over

Warner and Bairstow to open the innings for SRH. Shami with the new ball.

KXIP bowlers will have their task cut out if they are to defend this low total.

Holder starts with a huge wide to Gayle. A top edge behind the keeper's head for a single. KXIP will need to hit a few boundaries here with quick running hard to come by between the pair.

Time out is taken. Rahul batting on 25, Gayle on 18.

Another loud lbw shout against Gayle from Rashid. He pins him on the back foot and Warner asks for a DRS. The ball is pitching outside leg stump and SRH loses the review. A googly to end the over which Rahul fails to pick. Superb from Rashid; just one off the over. KXIP 61/1 in 9 overs

Gayle off the mark with a superb cover drive to the boundary! Slower ball from Holder and Gayle waits before slashing it behind square for another four. A dot ball to end the over. KXIP 47/1 in 6 overs

Vijay Shankar is standing by the boundary line with a tapped-up left arm. Gayle is the new man in at No. 3. His countryman Jason Holder replaces Khaleel. That was Sandeep's 100th wicket in the IPL.

Sandeep on for his third and Whack! Rahul pulls a length ball to the deep mid-wicket region for a six! Mandeep makes room and looks to lift the ball over mid off and just about manages it. Two runs. Poor from Samad. Mandeep slogs it to the leg side and Samad picks it up by the boundary before dropping it over the boundary line. WICKET! Mandeep was looking to go after the bowling and miscued his shot there. Rashid gets under a skier and completes the catch. KXIP 37/1 in 5 overs

Khaleel goes short and Mandeep pulls him to the leg side for a single. SHOT! KL pulls a short ball away for four. 11 from the over. KXIP 24/0 in 4 Overs.

Bairstow comes up to the stumps to stop Mandeep from stepping out of his crease against Sandeep. He starts with three consecutive dot balls. Sandeep provides from width and Mandeep slashes aerially. Garg does well to cover the ground to flick it back and restrict it to three. A single to end the over from Rahul. KXIP 13/0 in 3 overs

Vijay Shankar is off the ground for the moment. He seems to have hurt his finger.

Khaleel to share the new ball. Rahul starts for a single before being sent back. Vijay Shankar effects a direct hit on the flick but replay shows Rahul is home. Rahul flashes at a wide delivery, gets a thick edge which runs behind to third man region for a four. KXIP 9/0 in 2 overs

It appears that Mayank sustained the injury when he was run out against the Delhi Capitals.

Rahul off the mark with a single. A misfield at mid-on allows Mandeep to get going with a couple. Mandeep walking out from his stance to counter the swing from Sandeep. KXIP 5/0 in 1 over

Mandeep Singh, not Gayle, will open the innings alongside Rahul. It will be an emotional day for Mandeep, whose father passed away earlier this morning. Sandeep with the ball for SRH.

Sunrisers opt for pace in the form of Khaleel in place of Nadeem.

How big a miss will be Mayank at the top for KXIP? He has 398 runs from 10 matches with a strike rate of 155.46. Will this mean Chris Gayle will move up top alongside skipper KL Rahul?

Hyderabad change: Nadeem (OUT), Khaleel (IN)

Punjab changes: Mayank, Neesham (OUT); Mandeep, Jordan (IN)

TOSS UPDATE : David Warner has won the toss and elected to field.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Jonny Bairstow(w), Manish Pandey, Vijay Shankar, Priyam Garg, Abdul Samad, Jason Holder, Rashid Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

Kings XI Punjab have found a new lease of life after Chris Gayle's inclusion in the playing XI.

Hyderabad will hope that openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow can get them off to a good start.

MATCH PREVIEW BY AYAN ACHARYA

A rejuvenated Kings XI Punjab will take on a spirited Sunrisers Hyderabad in an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 encounter in Dubai on Saturday. Punjab is sixth on the points table with four wins out of 10 games, and its performances so far have come down to its top-order firing, and its fast bowlers' ability to adapt quickly to conditions that aren't tailor-made for them.

The inclusion of Chris Gayle has resulted in greater batting assurance and firepower, evident from the freedom with which skipper K. L. Rahul has played so far. Glenn Maxwell too gave glimpses of a return to form in the last match against Delhi Capitals, where his 69-run partnership with Nicholas Pooran for the fourth wicket, paved the way for Kings XI's third consecutive victory. His 24-ball 32 was the perfect foil to Pooran's match-winning 28-ball 53.

SHANKAR COMES GOOD

Hyderabad, on the other hand, has blown hot and cold at times this season, but on days it has come good, it has dominated in all three departments. Like in the eight-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals on Thursday, when Hyderabad rode on Manish Pandey's unbeaten 47-ball 83 and Vijay Shankar's 52 off 51 deliveries to keep its playoffs hopes alive.

IPL 2020: What the teams are playing for

The win - Hyderabad's first in five attempts while chasing in IPL 2020 - lifted it to the fifth spot on the points table on better Net Run Rate (+0.092). The think tank will be pleased with Shankar's all-round contributions; his figures of 1 for 15 from three overs complemented Jason Holder's (3 for 33) - debuting for Hyderabad - first three-wicket haul in T20s since 2015. Hyderabad, however, will hope for the aggressive opening pair of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow to fire as it looks to continue its surge towards the last four stage.

KEY MEN

Chris Gayle : The Jamaican, back after warming the bench for the first half of the season, has hit 106 runs in three matches at a strike-rate of 134.17 and seems to have shared Mayank Agarwal and Rahul's power-hitting mantle. 

Vijay Shankar : Shankar had laboured to 10 off 18 against Rajasthan the other night before opening up and scoring 42 off the next 33. His ability to hold an end up and build pressure by drying up the runs allows other bowlers to attack.

HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD

The two teams have faced each other 15 times in the IPL so far, and SRH has dominated the fixture by winning it 11 times.

Last IPL meeting:

SRH (201/6 in 20 overs) beat KXIP (132/10 in 16.5 overs) by 69 runs.

Earlier this season, the sides had squared off in Dubai on October 8, Thursday. The Hyderabad-based franchise handed the Punjab-based side a 69-run defeat, courtesy the Jonny Bairstow (97) and David Warner (52) blitz in the first innings. The pair put on 160 runs for the opening wicket to power their side to a commanding total. In response, K.L. Rahul's KXIP could only manage a paltry 132. The only positive for the Kings in that innings was Nicholas Pooran's fiery 37-ball 77.

IPL 2020 Form guide

Punjab has bolstered its chances of making the playoffs by winning three of its last five matches.

Hyderabad is struggling with consistency as it has won only two of its last five matches but goes into the contest on the back of a commanding win.

Current position in the table

Punjab is placed sixth in the points table after bagging eight points from 10 matches. The side has won four matches and lost six.

After four wins and six losses from 10 matches, Hyderabad currently sits fifth in the points table with eighth points as well. It is above RR and KXIP due to a better net run-rate.
