Delhi Capitals were quick off the mark after an impressive win against Lucknow Super Giants to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad and secure themselves a playoff berth. This match was seen as crucial in terms of their pursuit for top four finishes this IPL.
Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs led an outstanding partnership which propelled Delhi Capitals’ total to an imposing total while Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel and Zaheer Khan kept run rates under check to complete an outstanding victory over Hyderabad.
SRH batsmen struggled throughout most of their innings against DC’s pace attack and Pat Cummins proved an enormous threat as he picked off Karun Nair and Abishek Porel during the powerplay; then continued picking wickets at regular intervals that helped SRH keep DC under control and limit them to an underwhelming total.
DC experienced an early slow start, but quickly overcame their initial difficulties thanks to Tristan Stubbs. He smashed an opening-ball six and played an invaluable supporting role alongside Ashutosh Sharma on the other end. Stubbs ensured DC kept their run rate on track and put pressure on SRH bowlers.
However, nature had other ideas when rain began pouring heavily during an innings break and became too heavy for ground staff to clear it in time, forcing play to be called off and sending SRH plummeting two games in a row down to seventh on the table with 11 points from 12 games while DC will likely rejoice with an unlikely win and move into odd-points category alongside PBKS.
