HYDERABAD: The first outing went along expected lines for the Sunrisers Hyderabad , but Sunday could be a different ball game.For starters, the 4 pm start could see them on a different wicket at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, unlike the one rolled out for the inaugural when the ball came on nicely to the bat and negated the efforts of their quicker bowlers. It needed the skill and nous of Bhuvneshwar Kumar to come up with yorkers at will to put the brakes on the Royal Challengers Bangalore, while Ben Cutting's splendid piece of work in the field changed the game for the hosts. "It's a concern when we get a very good wicket to bat on. If that run out didn't happen, anything could have happened," reckoned SRH skipper David Warner with reference to the run out of Kedar Jadhav and how the dice is loaded in favour of batsmen on true wickets. The result was that they added 119 runs in the second half of their innings with even the likes of Deepak Hooda and Cutting furthering the team's cause.
