Hyderabad stays in contention for 2nd place in IPL with 4
HYDERABAD, India (AP) — Abhishek Sharma smacked 66 runs off 28 balls as Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Punjab Kings by four wickets in the Indian Premier League on Sunday to stay in contention for the coveted second place.
Sharma hit five fours and six sixes as Hyderabad equaled its highest run-chase on its home ground, finishing with 215-6 in 19.1 overs. Punjab chose to bat first and scored 214-5 with Prabhsimran Singh scoring a 45-ball 71.
Hyderabad moved up to second, finishing the league stage with 17 points from 14 games. It now awaits the result of the final IPL league game between third-place Rajasthan Royals and table-toppers Kolkata Knight Riders in Guwahati later Sunday. The start of that game has been delayed by rain.
Rajasthan would secure second place with a win, with Hyderabad dropping down to third. The two sides are competing for the right to challenge Kolkata in qualifier one in Ahmedabad on Tuesday.
