A disciplined bowling effort followed by skipper Kane Williamson’s (57, 46b, 2x4, 4x6) masterful planning of the chase helped Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Gujarat Titans by eight wickets in the IPL at the D.Y. Patil Stadium on Monday.
In a throwback to the style Sunrisers used to follow a few years ago, its bowlers did the heavy lifting by restricting Titans to 162 for seven.
Sunrisers’ route to victory depended on not losing early wickets. Openers Abhishek Sharma and Williamson did just that by being watchful in the first four overs.
