    "editor1": "<p>Mohali, April 19 -&nbsp;A brilliant all-round effort helped Kings XI Punjab beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 15 runs in an Indian Premier League match here on Thursday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFirst, Chris Gayle&#39;s unbeaten 104-run knock helped Punjab posted a mammoth 193\/3 and then, its bowlers managed to restrict the visitors to 178\/4 in their allotted 20 overs.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nChasing a massive target, Hyderabad never looked in contention as the visitors lost wickets at regular intervals. Hyderabad&#39;s in-form opener Shikhar Dhawan got injured on his first ball and from then, the required rate kept on increasing and none of the batsmen scored freely.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nSkipper Kane Williamson (54) and middle-order batsman Manish Pandey (57 not out), however tried to narrow the gap between the runs but lack of support from other batters costly hugely.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nYusuf Pathan (19) and Shakib Al Hasan (24 not out) also displayed the signs of coming back to form but could not contribute handsomely. For Punjab, Mohit Sharma and Andrew Tye took two wickets each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-livescore\/full-scorecard\/2631\/16th-match-punjab-v-hyderabad-1\">Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Gayle struck a 63-ball 104, laced with 11 sixes and a boundary to set the jam-packed stadium on fire.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOpting to bat, Punjab started on a cautious note as openers Lokesh Rahul (18) and Gayle stitched a 53-run partnership for the opening wicket.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAfghan leg-spinner Rashid Khan drew first blood for Hyderabad, dismissing Rahul in the eighth over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nMedium pacer Siddarth Kaul provided another jolt to the hosts, packing back incoming batsman Mayank Agarwal (18) in the 11th over.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nGayle was then joined by Karun Nair (31 off 21 balls; 4x3, 6x1) and the duo shared a 85-run partnership for the third wicket, taking Punjab past the 150 run mark.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBy then, Gayle had brought up his sixth IPL ton in just 58 deliveries, with a squeezy drive to point off Kaul and thereafter unleashing his trademark &#39;Baby in the arms&#39; celebration.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar got rid-off Nair in the 18th over but Gayle continued to hammer every Hyderabad bowler.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAustralian Aaron Finch&#39;s 14 not out off 6 balls in the final moments propelled Punjab to a massive total even as Gayle remained a spectator at the other end.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFor Hyderabad, Bhuvneshwar, Rashid and Kaul bagged one wicket apiece.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBrief Scores: Kings XI Punjab 193\/3 (Chris Gayle 104 not out, Karun Nair 31; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1\/25) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 178\/4 (Manish Pandey 57 not out; Andrew Tye 2\/23) .<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
