David Warner scores half-century against Gujarat Lions in IPL 2016

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper David Warner scored his half-century against Gujarat Lions (GL), in Match 15 of the ongoing Indian Premeir League (IPL) at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot on Thursday. His fifty came off 29 deliveries, including seven boundaries, along with a strike rate of 162. He has been in brilliant form of late with the bat, especially in the T20 format, as his explosive batting as of now is steadily taking the game away from GL, who stare at their opening defeat. Currently, SRH are 86 for the loss of no wickets in nine overs, with David Warner on 57, and Shikhar Dhawan on 20. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: Gujarat Lions vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPL 2016, Match 15 at Rajkot

Having won all matches so far in the ninth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Gujarat Lions (GL) will aim to maintain their winning momentum in the clash against an inconsistent Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). This will be the 15th match of what is turning out to be a very tedious tournament, in which the quality of cricket has been ordinary, and has failed to generate the buzz one usually associates with IPL. Anyway, for the teams such as GL, it will be important to maintain their momentum, after making a very strong start in their first-ever edition of IPL.
