    "editor1": "<p><strong>Hyderabad, May 19 (CRICKETNMORE):&nbsp;<\/strong> Shikhar Dhawan cracked a fifty but Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowlers pulled things back in the middle overs to restrict table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to 172\/9 in 20 overs in a crunch Indian Premier League (IPL) game at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Electing to bat, in-form Dhawan (50 from 39 balls; 5x4, 1x6), who missed out in SRH&#39;s last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), was dropped on 45 by Sunil Narine off Javon Searles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Besides Dhawan, Shreevats Goswami (35; 26b; 4x4, 1x6), skipper Kane Williamson (36; 17b; 1x4, 3x6) and Manish Pandey (25; 22b; 2x4, 1x6) also contributed with the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sunrisers, who were 60\/0 after six overs, lost wickets at regular intervals as little-known M.Prasidh Krishna (4\/30) starred with the ball for the visitors taking three wickets in the last over while Andre Russell (1\/31) gave away just seven in the penultimate over while also picking up a wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kuldeep Yadav (1\/35), Sunil Narine (1\/23) and Javon Searles (1\/24) were all among wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the last 10 overs, Sunrisers could only manage 80, losing eight wickets after they were 92\/1 at the halfway stage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The hosts got off to a flying start with wicketkeeper-batsman Goswami (35; 26b; 4x4, 1x6) and Dhawan stitching together a 79-run stand for the opening wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Goswami, playing his fourth game of the season but batting for the first time, was given out in the third over when a Russell bouncer rocketed off the helmet and was taken at slip.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Goswami asked for a review straightaway and replays and the decision was overturned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the next four balls, Goswami hit Russell for a six and a hattrick of boundaries taking 20 runs off the over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In-form Kuldeep, who grabbed a career-best 4\/20 in KKR&#39;s previous game, removed Goswami to break the partnership and halt Sunrisers&#39; surge after they were 60\/0 in the Powerplay.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Skipper Williamson then joined the party and looked to be continuing from where he had left in the last game by combining with Dhawan for a 48-run second wicket stand before trying to cut a Searles back of a length delivery and finding Russell at deep point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was an eventful over where Narine dropped Dhawan and Williamson tonked Searles for back-to-back sixes before getting out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>From there on, Pandey tried to score big but some disciplined death bowling by KKR bowlers put a lid on his plans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad 172\/9 (Shikhar Dhawan 50; Prasidh Krishna 4\/30) vs Kolkata Knight Riders.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
