Standout Performers
7 of 7
Clinical Bowling from Sunrisers
At 37-0, Kings XI were enjoying a steady if unspectacular start to their innings in the fourth over.
Sunrisers then produced a remarkable bowling performance as wicket after wicket fell in the middle overs in particular.
Murali Vijay was the first victim, caught out by an excellent diving catch by Shikhar Dhawan after a floated ball to outside off by Bipul Sharma.
Manan Vohra then fell to Bipul before Trent Boult and Moises Henriques got in on the action, and by the end of the ninth over, Kings XI had gone 4-23.
Though Sunrisers could not maintain this level of play and managed just one wicket in their last five overs, their work with the ball was an impressive team effort, with Henriques the standout performer with three wickets.
An Outstanding Individual Display
Though David Warner's 81 earned him Man of the Match, David Miller's incredible innings of 89 will be what fans remember this match for.
The South African valiantly fended off Sunrisers' bowlers to reach his unbeaten knock and almost single-handedly dragged his side within five runs of their in-form opponents.
Entering the final over, Kings XI needed 28 runs to beat Sunrisers.
Despite seemingly little hope that Kings XI would achieve this, the 25-year-old had Sunrisers' fans holding their breath as he hit three sixes and a four to take Kings XI to 180.
Kings XI have lost 10 of their 12 matches so far, but with such a spirited performer in their ranks, they may yet have a say on the final standings in the IPL.
