IPL 2018, KXIP vs SRH: 3 things that went right for KXIP

#2 Good bowling display during the powerplays

KXIP bowled well during the powerplays

Kings XI Punjab's bowlers bowled brilliantly in the powerplays and restricted SRH from building a momentum in their run-chase. The Lions slipped just 40 runs in the first six overs which subsequently put the required run-rate beyond SRH's liking.

Shikhar Dhawan's injury during the first over of SRH's innings further put KXIP in the driving seat as the Indian opener was in a good scoring form prior to the game. They took two wickets during the first season over which increased the pressure on SRH's batting line-up.

Andrew Tye and Barinder Sran were both proving expensive prior to the game but they came out stronger and didn't let SRH's batsmen get something out of the game.
