\nHyderabad, April 9 (Cricketnmore) Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) restricted Gujarat Lions (GL) to 135\/7 in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Sunday.\n<\/p>\r\n
\nDwyane Smith (37), Dinesh Karthik (30) and Jason Roy (31) were the major contributors to the Gujarat cause.<\/p>\r\n
\nFor Hyderabad, leg-spinner Rashid Khan scalped three wickets while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took two wickets. Veteran pacer Ashish Nehra chipped in with one wicket.<\/p>\r\n
\nPut in to bat, Gujarat openers Roy (31) and Brendon McCullum (5) gave a steady start as both batsmen scored 35 runs in five overs.<\/p>\r\n
\nBut soon, change in bowling did the trick for the hosts, as McCullum, who was struggling at the crease, was trapped leg before wicket by leggie Rashid Khan.<\/p>\r\n
\nRashid bowled a googly, which McCullum tried to sweep but missed the ball completely and the ball went on to hit his pads. <\/p>\r\n
\nIn the next over, Roy, who slammed five boundaries in his 21-ball knock, was the next batsmen to go back to the pavilion.<\/p>\r\n
\nMedium pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar sent packing in-form Roy to give the hosts a crucial wicket. He was caught by Shikhar Dhawan at the midwicket.<\/p>\r\n
\nSkipper Suresh Raina (5) Aaron Finch (3) also failed to step up to the occasion as both were adjudged leg before wicket off Rashid in back to back overs. <\/p>\r\n
\nWith Gujarat tottering at 57\/4 in nine overs, wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik (30) and Dwyane Smith (37) played the sensible innings by rotating the strike and punishing the bad balls.<\/p>\r\n
\nKarthik and Smith built 56-run partnership for the fifth wicket to steady the fort before Smith ran out of patience and decided to take on Bhuvneshwar. The seamer bowled a slower delivery and the West Indian failed to pick it. As a result, he was caught at the deep mid-wicket by Vijay Shankar. <\/p>\r\n
\nWith half of their side back to the pavilion, now all eyes were on Karthik, who was playing brilliantly at the middle. But Nehra broke Gujarat's hopes as he dismissed Karthik soon after Smith.<\/p>\r\n
\nNehra delivered a short ball and Karthik went across the stumps to try a scoop shot but failed. He got a nick which was comfortably taken by wicketkeeper Naman Ojha.<\/p>\r\n
\nDhawal Kulkarni (1) was run out by Rashid in the same over.<\/p>\r\n
\nWith two overs remaining and Gujarat reeling at 117\/7, the lower-order only managed to add 18 runs. Basil Thampi scored 13 runs and Gujarat Lions totalled 135\/7 in their allotted 20 overs.<\/p>\r\n
