Cape Town - The Sunrisers Hyderabad had to endure a lengthy rain delay in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday, but they ultimately held on for a morale-boosting, 16-run win over the Kolkata Knight Riders, with the assistance of the Duckworth/Lewis method.
Having posted 177 for four in their overs, the Sunrisers then watched on as an extended shower kept them off the field for over an hour, and then the match reduced to a 12-over dash for the defending IPL champions, reports the supersport.com website.
The luckless Dale Steyn watched on as three chances were missed off his first two overs, but the Sunrisers then hit their straps, as the mounting run-rate proved too much for the 2014 winners.
