Punjab Kings beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by five runs in a thrilling second clash of the day that left Kane Williamson's Hyderabad rock bottom of the eight team table of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with just one win from nine games.

Punjab managed only 125 for seven with South African Aiden Markram hitting the top score of 27.

West Indies import Jason Holder took three wickets for Hyderabad and then led the run race after his side's openers failed again.

David Warner was dismissed for two and Williamson for one.

Holder hit 47 off 29 balls including five sixes. But needing a six off the last ball to force a super over, Holder was restricted to a single by IPL debutant Nathan Ellis, who featured in two T20Is of the five-match T20I series during Australian team's tour to Bangladesh earlier which ended 1-4 against the Aussies' favour.
