[ad_1] Sunrisers Hyderabad 132 for 6 (Pandey 54, Shakib 28, Rajpoot 5-14) beat Kings XI Punjab 119 (Rahul 32, Rashid 3-19, Shakib 2-18) by 13 runs Scorecard and ball-by-ball details play 3:43 Shaun Tait, Ajit Agarkar and the ESPNcricinfo team discuss Kings XI's failure to chase 132 in Hyderabad No Billy Stanlake and Bhuvneshwar Kumar? No problem, again. Two nights after pulling off the second-lowest successful defence in the IPL, Sunrisers Hyderabad defended 132 to snap Kings XI Punjab's four-match winning streak. That they could pull off another coup seemed improbable when Ankit Rajpoot 's 5 for 14 - the best figures in IPL 2018 and the sixth best overall - pinned Sunrisers down to 132 for 6. It seemed as improbable when KL Rahul and Chris Gayle, the most prolific opening pair this season, raised their fourth fifty-plus stand in as many innings opening together. Enter Rashid Khan , the No.1 T20 bowler right now, and the experienced Shakib Al Hasan . They ran rings arou...

[ad_1] Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is once again defending the Republican tax law, just days after he said there’s no evidence it has helped American workers. On Wednesday, Rubio tried to indignantly correct a Politico story that said he is “walking back” his earlier criticisms of the recently-passed Republican tax overhaul, insulting an intern and failing to make his point any clearer in the process. The tax overhaul, passed and signed into law last December, raises taxes on middle class people making between $40,000 and $50,000 a year by more than $5 billion, cuts taxes by more than $5.5 billion for people making more than $1 million a year, punishes wage-earning employees, and repeals the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate. The changes will  likely force billions of dollars in cuts to safety net programs  and kill —  by conservative estimates  — 10,000 people every year. It was an interview with The Economist last week , Rubio acknowledged some of the bill’s failures, as wel...

[ad_1] Denmark 179 (Zameer 44, Hamid 37, Pavandeep 3-24, Wafiq 3-32) beat Malaysia 146 (Bashir 3-24, Hamid 2-18) by 33 runs Captain Hamid Shah roars after Denmark clinches victory © Peter Della Penna Denmark captain Hamid Shah stood out with both bat and ball as his team defended 179 to remain unbeaten and hand Malaysia their first defeat of the WCL Division Four. He struck 37 off 78 balls, anchoring the innings after they chose to bat on a difficult pitch and also picked up a couple of wickets to seal a 33-run victory at UKM-YSD Oval in Bangi. The timing of those breakthroughs were very crucial. Malaysia were 39 runs away from winning the game, and with nine overs still left, the required rate wasn't really a challenge. However, they were six down, Hamid made it seven, breaking a feisty 53-run partnership between Suharril Fetri and Muhamad Syahadat and paved the...

[ad_1] Royal Challengers Bangalore 167 for 7 (Vohra 45, Pandya 3-28) beat Mumbai Indians 153 for 7 (Pandya 50, Southee 2-25, Umesh 2-29, Siraj 2-8) by 14 runs Virat Kohli doesn't hold his emotions back  BCCI Umesh Yadav took two wickets off consecutive deliveries with the new ball, Ishan Kishan fell for a golden duck and Royal Challengers Bangalore lost to Mumbai Indians by 46 runs. Two weeks later, Umesh was on a hat-trick with the new ball against Mumbai again, Kishan bagged another golden duck, his third in four innings, but this time Umesh's opening burst also included Rohit Sharma's first-ball duck and the Royal Challengers bowling line-up sustained the pressure throughout for once to defend 167 on their home ground and move up to fifth place after only their third win from eight matches. The defending champions, meanwhile, are back in seventh place and need to win all their remaining six matches lest they wish to rely on other teams to help them stay in playoff co...
