IPL 2021: Jason Roy, Kane Williamson steer SRH to easy win against RR

Chasing 165, SRH comfortably crossed the finishing line with seven wickets in hand.

Jason Roy and captain Kane Williamson played some brilliant cricketing shots to guide Sunrisers Hyderabad home against Rajasthan Royals in the 40th match of the IPL 2021 here on Monday. Hyderabad registered their second win of this season after beating Royals by seven wickets at the Dubai International Stadium.

Chasing 165, SRH got off to a blistering start as a flurry of boundaries unleashed by openers Roy (60) and Wriddhiman Saha (18) took SRH past 50 in just 4.5 overs. Eventually, SRH got to 63/1 at the end of the Powerplay as Saha was dismissed by Mahipal Lomror.

Roy hit a quick-fire half-century on his debut for Hyderabad before Rajasthan's Chetan Sakariya ended his blitzkrieg.
