Dhoni Pune Finally Rise Beat Sunrisers Hyderabad After Four Straight Defeats


Rising Pune Supergiants brought their stuttering IPL campaign back on track with a convincing 34-run win over hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad via Duckworth Lewis method in a rain-affected match. Relishing favourable conditions, Supergiants restricted Sunrisers to a modest 118 for eight after a rain-delayed start and won the contest via Duckworth Lewis method at Rajiv Gandhi International stadium. Supergiants were comfortably placed 94 for three in their chase when skied opened up, forcing suspension of play. The play never resumed and Supergiants were declared the winners. It was first win for Supergiants after four straight defeats and credit for the much-needed win goes to their pace duo of Ashok Dinda (3/23) and Mitchell Marsh (2/14), who revelled under helpful conditions. Stroke-making was a bit difficult as the match started late by one hour. The batsmen needed to apply themselves to get runs but Hyderabad players, save opener Shikhar Dhawan, did not respond to the conditions well.
