Skipper David Warner powered Sunrisers Hyderabad to 192/7 in 20 overs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium here on Saturday night.

Put in to bat, opener Warner smashed a 28-ball 61, which included 11 boundaries and one six, to set up the platform, which the host team needed.

The left-hander was well assisted by opening partner Shikhar Dhawan. Together they struck an impressive 86-run partnership for the opening wicket.

After Warner got out, Dhawan anchored the innings with a solid 37.

Later in the innings, Eoin Morgan (32 not out) and wicketkeeper-batsman Naman Ojha (20) struck important cameos to take the hosts to more than a challenging total.

 

Medium pacer Dwayne Bravo was the pick of the Super Kings bowlers as he picked up three wickets for 25 in his four overs while Ashish Nehra, Suresh Raina and Pawan Megi picked up a wicket each.
