Having done the job with their bowling, SRH looked to go for the win with the bat, but ran into an early roadblock in the shape of Mohammad Shami, who got the wickets of David Warner and Kane Williamson in his first two overs to derail Hyderabad’s chase. Photo by Rahul Gulati / Sportzpics for IPL

Jason Holder, who was awarded the Player of the Match Trophy, was one of the few bright sparks for Hyderabad, and after impressing with the ball, he put in an enormous shift with the bat, hitting five sixes and scoring 47 in 29 balls to keep the chase alive. Unfortunately, he had next to no support and he was unable to finish off the job all on his lonesome. Photo by Deepak Malik / Sportzpics for IPL
