But in the end her team failed to live up to the expectations as Sunrisers beat Kings XI by 30 runs.

Sunrisers innings fell apart after Darren Sammy was done-in by a wrong-one. The ball was pitched up as Sammy went for a cut -- missed it completely.
Umpire had the easiest decision to make to raise his finger. Piyush Chawla was eleated.
Sunrisers were 52-5 after 9 overs.

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.
