[Reuters] Sunrisers Hyderabad earned their first win of this year's Indian Premier League by comfortably beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 65 runs at Eden Gardens. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma put on 82 for the first wicket in just 5. 4 overs and even though Australia's Head fell for 46 and India opener Abhishek 48, the visitors still posted 226-8 with South Africa's Heinrich Klaasen adding 52 from 35 balls.
Gloucestershire left-armer David Payne conceded 25 from the first over of the chase as New Zealand opener Finn Allen flogged three fours and two sixes but the innings soon fell away. Allen chipped a catch back to spinner Harsh Dubey for 28, Angkrish Raghuvanshi was run out for 52 and Australian Cameron Green also run out for two. Left-armer Jaydev Unadkat took 3-21, including the final wicket as KKR, who have lost their first two games, were bowled out for 161 in 16.
1 overs. The win was also the first not won by the chasing side in this year's IPL. [BBC]
