Manish Pandey has had an indifferent run in the last few months. After sitting out for the entire ODI series against South Africa, he got a chance in the 3-match T20 series and was also a part of India’s Nidahas Trophy winning team. He scored 255 runs in 8 international innings' this year (2018). He was also unbeaten on 4 of those occasions.

After not getting to bat in the first game (which SRH won by 9 wickets), the SRH middle-order was tested. Pandey walked out to bat in the 9th over after Hyderabad had lost a couple of quick wickets. Pandey started with a boundary but struggled from thereon.

He made 9 in 9 balls before he was undone by a loopy leg-break from Markande. Pandey went after the soppy delivery and only managed to top-edge it. He was out for 9 as SRH slipped to 89 for 4.
