131 runs were scored in 8 overs, yet Delhi lost, Hyderabad stormed home and defeated them by 67 runs.

DC vs SRH: Sunrisers Hyderabad has defeated Delhi Capitals by 67 runs. In this match, Sunrisers Hyderabad, playing first, had scored a huge score of 266 runs. Delhi Capitals, who set out to chase the big target, did not have a good start because by the second over itself, the team had lost the wickets of both the openers in the form of Prithvi Shaw and David Warner. In such a situation, Jake Fraser McGurk took the responsibility, who scored fifty in 15 balls in this match. McGurk has now become the fastest batsman to score a half-century for Delhi Capitals in IPL history. He scored 65 runs in 18 balls hitting 5 fours and 7 sixes. On the other hand, due to taking wickets at regular intervals, SRH maintained their hold on the match and managed to register a big win by 67 runs.

At one time Delhi had scored 131 runs in 8 overs, but after the fall of Jake Fraser’s wicket, Delhi’s run pace slowed down. After 15 overs, Delhi’s score was 166 runs at the loss of 6 wickets and they still needed 101 runs in 30 balls to win. Although Rishabh Pant was standing at the crease, the situation was that the team needed 68 runs in the last 12 balls. In such a situation, it had become almost impossible for Delhi Capitals to achieve the target. Pant scored 44 runs in 35 balls and as soon as he was out, Delhi Capitals team was all-out after scoring 199 runs. With this, SRH has won the match by 67 runs.

Bowling net of SRH captain Pat Cummins

Washington Sundar bowled the first over for SRH, in which he gave away 16 runs but also took 1 wicket. But he conceded 30 runs in his second over, after which captain Cummins did not hand him the ball. Similarly, when Shahbaz Ahmed scored 22 runs in one over, Cummins also removed him from the bowling. This strategy of the captain proved effective as other bowlers put Delhi batsmen under pressure by bowling on the right line and length. For SRH, T Natarajan took 4 wickets, Nitish Reddy and Mayank Markande took 2-2 important wickets. Apart from them, Washington Sundar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar also took 1 wicket each.
