Hyderabad cruises to big win over Kolkata in the Indian Premier League

Sunrisers Hyderabad notched a commanding 65-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday to become the first team this Indian Premier League season to successfully defend a total. Abhishek Sharma (48) and Travis Head’s (46) power-hitting in the first six overs propelled Hyderabad and Heinrich Klaasen added 52 off 35 balls as the Sunrisers reached 226-8. Finn Allen (28) provided an early threat to chase down a big total when the New Zealand opener smashed boundaries off the first six balls he faced before spinner Harsh Dubey held onto a sharp return catch.
