DC Inning:
Delhi Capitals did not get the start they would have hoped for as Mandeep Singh departed without adding any run to the scoreboard. Mitchell Marsh looked, but in the end, a soft caught and bowled dismissal became his reason to go back into the dressing room.
At strategic time break before the 9th over, Delhi was 69/2, with Warner striking the bowl with great timing and Rishabh Pant struggling on the other end. However, Pant smashed three consecutive sixes off Shreyas Gopal to regain the momentum.
Shreyas had the final last laugh because he dismissed Pant on the last ball of his over. Pant contributed 26 off 16.
Rovman Powell replaced Pant in the middle and carried on the tempo set by Pant and Warner. Both Powell and Warner destroyed the Sunrisers bowlers by constantly amassing boundaries all over the ground. Both of them remained not out, and Delhi finished on 207/3 in the DC vs SRH clash.
SRH Inning:
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the game during the powerplay itself. They were going at such a slow pace that it almost became impossible for the middle order to compensate for it during their chase. Abhishek Sharma 7 off 6 while Kane Williamson consumed 11 balls for scoring only 4 runs. Rahul Tripathi played some food shots but could only manage 22 runs.
Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran had a partnership that seemed to take SRH close to the target, but Markram’s departure ended all hope for Hyderabad. Markram scored 42 off 25, while Pooran contributed 62 off 34. Ultimately SRH fell short by 21 runs to lose the game.
