Blackcaps captain Kane Williamson leads Sunrisers to the top of the Indian Premier League

Blackcaps captain Kane Williamson was a standout in the Sunrisers Hyderabad match against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, in which he scored a half-century.

Paired by the efforts of Australian big-hitter Chris Lynn who scored 49 of 34 balls the Sunrisers were able to chase down Kolkata's 138-8 in 20 overs.

Sunrisers were 119-5 after 17.2 overs when the New Zealand skipper was dismissed by Australian paceman Mitchell Johnson, but it was too late for Kolkata to stage a comeback.

England's Jason Roy took his place and lead the Daredevils to victory in the final over of the match, producing an innings of 91 not out from 53 balls.
