It is no secret that Hyderabad depends on Rashid Khan to provide the crucial breakthroughs in the middle overs. In the last game as well, it was only due to his magical spell that Hyderabad was able to defend a modest total against Kolkata.

He usually gets good support from the other end from Shakib-al-Hasan. However, the spin duo of Rashid and Shakib had an off day at the office today as Rashid went wicket-less from his full quota of overs while Shakib was smashed for 15 runs from the solitary over that he bowled.

Both Watson and Raina played Rashid cautiously and did not give away their wicket to him. It was a major reason why Hyderabad lost the contest.
