Sunrisers Hyderabad are on the charge in their bid to pip Royal Challengers Bengaluru to top spot in the Indian Premier League in Hyderabad, reaching 63 for one at the end of the Powerplay.
Needing at least an 87-run win over the log leaders, dangerous duo Travis Head and Abishek Sharma roared out of the blocks until the Australian had his leg stump removed by a Rasikh Salam yorker.
The wicket briefly restored order but the hosts have plenty more firepower to come, with a frenzied home crowd and first use of a flat track to boot after skipper Pat Cummins won the toss.
