Commentary
Delhi Capitals clinched a 21-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Brabourne Stadium on Thursday.
David Warner put up a sizzling display against his former side as Capitals clinched their fifth win of the season and climb to the fifth spot on the points table.
After being invited to bat first, Delhi posted a massive 207/3. Despite losing early wickets, the Capitals recovered quickly as Warner paved the way for a massive total, with an unbeaten 92. Warner and Rovman Powell, who struck his maiden IPL half-century, guided Capitals to a 200+ score.
In reply, Sunrisers got off to a shaky start as they lost opener Abhishek Sharma (7) as Khaleel Ahmed reduced SRH to 8/1 in 1.3 overs. SRH struggled to get going as skipper Kane Williamson departed for just five with Anrich Nortje reducing Sunrisers to 24/2 in 4.2 overs.
Sunrisers struggled in their powerplay as they scored 35 runs for the loss of two wickets. Their struggles continued as Marsh struck just after the powerplay to removed Rahul Tripathi (22) to reduce SRH to 37/3
Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran rebuild Sunrisers' chase with a fourth-wicket partnership of 60 off 35. Khaleel once again came to DC's rescue as he put the brakes on the chase, removing the set Aiden Markram (42 off 25).
Nicholas Pooran threatened to take the game away with a smashing 34-ball 62. But with the asking rate touching 20, Sunrisers failed to chase it down as they fell to their third consecutive loss.
Kuldeep Yadav to Shreyas Gopal. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the back foot reverse sweeping, missed for no runs, fielded by Pant. That brings this game to a close.
