IPL9 - Rising Pune Supergiants virtually out of reckoning

It was yet another loss for Rising Pune Supergiants - this time to Sun Risers Hyderabad. They were unable to chase down a score of 137 and, in spite of a brilliant performance of leg-spinner Adam Zampa who had a 6-wicket haul, RPS lost to SRH by 4 runs and put an end to their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 11 May 2016.

Adam Zampa had the best bowling figures by an Australian in T20s when he claimed six wickets for only 19 runs in his four overs and ensured that the Sunrisers were restricted to a modest 137 for 8 after skipper David Warner elected to bat. But, RPS was unable to captalise on Zampa's efforts because of some disciplined bowling led by the veteran seamer Ashish Nehra, who claimed three wickets. Pune finally folded up for 133-8 in 20 overs.
Incidentally, the number of 4s and 6s gives an indication of how the bowlers played a deciding role in the outcome of the match - Sun Risers hit 4 fours and 7 sixes while Rising Pune hit 10 fours and only four sixes. And it revealed the lack of penetration of Pune bowlers.
