Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Rajasthan Royals by 11 runs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad pulled off yet another incredible victory away from home after beating Rajasthan Royals by 11 runs in Jaipur on Sunday. Batting first on a two-paced wicket, the Sunrisers could only muster 151/7 in their stipulated 20 overs before the bowlers came to the party and restricted the Royals to 140/6. Incidentally, this was the third time in the past week that SRH have managed to defend such low totals and Twitterati simply could not stop gushing over their terrific bowling performance and their ability to defend targets with ridiculous ease. Here are some of the best reaction from the world of Twitter-
SRH Bowlers setting very high standards in bowling. Simplicity of plans and clarity of thinking makes the execution flawless. Stacking up overs nicely to build pressure #SRHvRR #IPL2018

Not Once, Not Twice but Thrice!!! The @SunRisers bowlers have been defending targets with ridiculous ease. When the fielding unit steps up to back and compliment the bowling front results tend to work your way. Brilliant!! #RRvSRH

This is where #SRH starts squeezing the opponent dry…asking rate already 9 rpo. Two each from Kaul and Rashid in the last 6. Kane has led the team so well. #RRvSRH #IPL

Meanwhile, reflecting on his team’s performance SRH skipper Kane Williamson said,”We had a good start. The surface was on the slow side, and there was not much bounce. I thought the way they bowled the short ball was pretty good, and it’s something we wanted to do in our bowling innings. It was nice to get that dismissal early. Yusuf’s wicket was lucky, but it was a good wicket at that stage because Stokes is a dangerous player. We didn’t get the 10-15 more on a challenging surface, but it was an improvement nevertheless. Twenty20 is unpredictable in nature and it’s nice to get a few wins on the board. Alex is world-class in this format. He made a very good contribution today.”
