David Warner, Trent Boult Shine as Hyderabad Edge Past Punjab

Pace spearhead Trent Boult led the way with three wickets after David Warner's brisk half-century laid the foundation as Sunrisers Hyderabad recorded a 20-run win over Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League yesterday.

Asked to bat, opener Warner top-scored with a 41-ball 58 to lift Sunrisers to a modest 150 for six.

The bowlers then produced a disciplined effort to restrict Kings eleven to 130 for nine in 20 overs, paving the way for the visiting side's third win of the season.

Boult returned with impressive figures of 3 for 19 in his four-over spell while Bhuvneshwar Kumar chipped in with two wickets.
