Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson celebrates his half century.

Captain Kane Williamson led from the front with a solid fifty as Hyderabad shrugged off initial wobble to beat Kolkata by five wickets in their T20 match. Williamson struck exactly fifty off 44 deliveries, hitting four boundaries and a six to help Hyderabad chase down the small target of 139 after the visiting side were reduced to 55 for 3 in the ninth over at the Eden Gardens. Opener Wriddhiman Saha and Shakib Al Hasan made useful contributions of 24 and 27 respectively. Williamson's 59-run stand with Shakib -- who also took two wickets in Kolkata innings -- for the fourth wicket eased the pressure on the Hyderabad as they reached 139 for 5 in 19 overs to notch up their third win on the trot.
