Hyderabad  beat Gujarat by 10wkts

The Gujarat Lions’ unbeaten run in VIVO IPL 2016 came to an end as they were thrashed by 10 wickets by the visiting Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) yesterday, report agencies. After opting to field first at the SCA Stadium in Rajkot, SRH restricted the hosts to a modest 135-8 and then chased down the runs in 14.5 overs to notch up their second win of the season. Wiining the toss, SRH captain Warner sent Gujarat Lions to bat first who lost wickets at regular intervals but a brilliant fifty from skipper Suresh Raina helped the hosts post a fighting total. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the bowlers for Sunrisers as he finished with four wickets. Bangladesh pace sensation Mustafizur bowled superbly and ended up with a miserly figure of one for 19 from four overs. In reply, David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan fireworks helped the tourists crush Gujarat by 10 wickets with 5.1 overs to spare.
