Hyderabad: Jaydev Unadkat revelled in a five-wicket haul that included a hat-trick as Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS)&acirc;&Acirc;u00c2u0080&Acirc;u00c2u0088eked out a 12-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad to jump to the second spot in IPL, here on Saturday.
Defending a modest 148, the Pune outfit came up with a superb bowling performance with Unadkat (5-30) and Ben Stokes (3-30) doing the maximum damage, especially in the final overs to restrict Hyderabad to 136 for nine.
Unadkat took a hat-trick in the final over of the match when Pune needed 13 runs, to shut the door on the visitors. He sent back Bipul Sharma, Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the second, third and fourth deliveries of the 20th over respectively.
At one stage, the defending champions were cruising along comfortably when veteran Yuvraj Singh (47) and skipper David Warner (40) were at the crease. The duo put on 54 runs together for the third wicket before Warner departed for 40 which was studded with four hits to the fence and a six.
Yuvraj continued to play his shots but failed to take the team all the way home, falling for 43-ball 47 that included four boundaries and two sixes, with the scorecard reading 117 for five.
After Yuvraj&rsquo;s departure, 32 more runs needs for victory and as many as five wickets in hand, but no lower-order batsmen seem to show any resistance, even as Unadkat took three successive wickets in the final over to wrap up the match in Pune&rsquo;s favour. Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad dished out a tidy bowling performance, led by Siddarth Kaul, to restrict Rising Pune Supergiant to a modest 148 for eight.
