"Here's everyone at the #Riser camp wishing Kane Williamson and his wife a safe delivery and a lot of happiness!," SRH said. Williamson struggled big time this IPL season, scoring just 216 runs from 13 matches. Sunrisers Hyderabad have kept their slim play-offs hopes alive after registering a narrow three-run win over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede stadium on Tuesday.

SRH take on Punjab Kings in their last league game here on Sunday in a must-win game. However, even a win may not be enough for them to make it to the play-offs.
