Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) kept their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 playoff hopes alive by winning a fourth successive match after Arshdeep Singh and Chris Jordan triggered a batting collapse for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Dubai on Saturday. Asked to bat first, Punjab could manage only 126/7, but it proved just about enough as KL Rahul marshaled his squad brilliantly to register the lowest successful defense this season. The win helped Punjab climb to fifth place in the points table. They now have 10 points from 11 matches (five wins and six defeats). Hyderabad are sixth with eight points from an equal number of matches (four wins and seven defeats). Catch highlights here. (Highlights | Points Table | Schedule)
