IPL 2019: Stats on Top Run-Scorers, Leading Wicket-Takers, T20 Averages, More

Rory MarsdenApr 29, 2019

David Warner signed off his 2019 Indian Premier League campaign with a typically supreme 81 to help Sunrisers Hyderabad to a thumping 45-run victory over Kings XI Punjab on Monday.

The opener is now leaving India to join up with Australia's pre-World Cup camp, and he will be sorely missed by Sunrisers, who tightened their grip on fourth spot with Monday's win.

Warner's knock, which came off 56 balls and included nine boundaries, set the foundations for Hyderabad to finish on 212-6 from their 20 overs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.

All statistics, per the league's official website.

Warner is arguably the best IPL batsman of all time, and his ninth score of 50 or over this season was the key knock in Monday's match:

It set Sunrisers up to post a match-winning total after they had been put in to bat.

The 32-year-old was ably assisted by Wriddhiman Saha (28 runs from 13 balls) and Manish Pandey (36 from 25), so when Warner did finally fall to Ravi Ashwin in the 16th over, SH were 163-3.

Some big-hitting from the lower order propelled the hosts past the 200-mark and set a daunting target for KXIP to chase.

Kings XI lost Chris Gayle for four in just the third over:

And they never truly looked like knocking off the runs after returning just 44 in the powerplay—SH had hit 77.

Rahul's was a mightily impressive innings as he hit four fours and five sixes in a blistering 95 minutes at the crease:

But the quick turnover of his batting partners meant KXIP could never find the rhythm their chase needed if it was to be successful.

Khaleel Ahmed and Rashid Khan did the damage for Sunrisers with the ball as they took three wickets apiece, the latter particularly impressing with an economy rate of just 5.25.
