Chasing 194 to win, Hyderabad found the going tough as they were reduced to 33 for three in 4.5 overs. While Mitchell Johnson struck the first blow dismissing skipper Shikhar Dhawan (1) off his second ball, it was Balaji's twin strike in his opening over which derailed their run chase.

L Balaji returned with a 4-wicket haul with figures of 4-0-13-4

L Balaji first knocked back Aaron Finch's (19) stumps with an angled delivery, while two balls later, a back-of-a length delivery sent David Warner (8) back to the hut with Maxwell taking the catch at point.
