A fighting half-century from Parthiv Patel and the big hitting of Thisara Perera helped Sunrisers Hyderabad to a competitive 150-7.

Sunrisers were struggling at 50-5 at one point, but then picked up their game courtesy of some poor bowling in the end by the Kings XI bowlers.

Parthiv Patel made 61 from 61, while Perera blasted his way to 32 off 19 balls.

Karan Sharma too contributed with a vital 18-ball 22.

Sandeep Sharma was the most successful bowler with figures of 3-21.
