HYDERABAD: It was once a tricky name for Sunrisers Hyderabad but they had no different possibility than to improve their batting. The hosts introduced in Kane Williamson, Ricky Bhui and Abhishek Sharma to improve the middle-order but nonetheless came brief in opposition to Delhi Capitals on the RGIC Stadium on Sunday evening.
SCORECARD I SCHEDULE I POINTS TABLE
The hosts crashed to a 39–run loss as pacers Keemo Paul (3/17), Kagiso Rabada (4/22) and Chris Morris (3/22) proved rather a handful for the SRH batsmen.
Chasing a modest 156 for victory, it was once business as standard for SRH openers David Warner and Jonny Bairstow as they strung some other half-century partnership. Bairstow, who had made a 48 when the groups met the former time, did the majority of the scoring early on. After being quiet for eight overs, Warner unfolded when he lofted Axar Patel over the deep midwicket boundary for his first six but Bairstow (41; 31b, 5x4, 1x6) fell in the next over to Keemo Paul. The duo added 72 in 9.5 overs but as soon as the partnership was once damaged, it was once a familiar tale for SRH.
Williamson (3) and Ricky Bhui (7) fell without much ado and the asking rate saved on creeping upwards. This put pressure on Warner and the southpaw succumbed to Rabada after making 51 (47b; 3x4, 1x6). Smelling blood, the Capitals stepped up the ante and the SRH batsmen committed harikari. SRH lost eight wickets for 15 runs in 21 balls.
Earlier, left-arm seamer Khaleel Ahmed, who is enjoying his first fit of the season after coming off an injury, made an immediate affect as he struck 3 necessary blows to derail the Delhi Capitals’ innings. The 21-year-old struck as soon as in each and every of his first two overs inside the powerplay and then returned to push aside the harmful Rishabh Pant in his ultimate over as the Capitals may just muster a modest 155 for seven.
After Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan fell with simply 20 on the board, Colin Munro, who is enjoying his first fit of the season, went after the bowling to step up the tempo. The New Zealander struck Sandeep Sharma for two boundaries and then went after Ahmed. Southpaw Munro hammered a 4 and six off the left-arm pacer. Munro (40; 24b, 4xr4, 3x6) struck two extra sixes – one off Ahmed and one off left-arm spinner Abhishek Sharma – before falling.
At 69 for three, things weren't rosy for Capitals but Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant put their heads down as they tried to present their bowlers one thing to bowl at. Skipper Iyer, who is one of the maximum underrated avid gamers in the country, came up with but some other secure display with the bat.
The 24-year-old Mumbaikar combined caution with aggression to keep the ranking board ticking and Pant too weighed in with an strange boundary but nonetheless Capitals may just arrange handiest 121 on the finish of the 15th over. Both Iyer (45; 40b, 5x4) and Pant (23; 19b, 3x4) departed in quick succession as the SRH bowlers applied the stranglehold on the loss of life.
