Suryakumar Yadav (27 off 18), Ishan Kishan (31 off 23), Hardik Pandaya (28 off 19) and Kieron Pollard (25* off 13) all contributed to setting a challenging target.
Outside of a strong second-wicket partnership between David Warner (60 off 44) and Manish Pandey (30 off 19), the Sunrisers never looked like coming close to reaching the target. This was in large part due to the foreign trifecta of Trent Boult (2-28), James Pattinson (2-29) and Pollard (0-20) conceding a combined total of just 77 runs in 11 overs to strangle the Sunriser into submission.
