DC vs SRH Match 10
Sunrisers were in fine form following their win against Mumbai Indians last week, appearing poised to make the top four.
Unfortunately, a disappointing showing against Delhi Capitals on Thursday night further reduced their chances of qualifying for playoffs.
Pat Cummins made an immediate impact after electing to bowl first, taking out Karun Nair and Faf du Plessis within successive overs – leaving DC reeling at 26/4 inside the powerplay.
Jaydev Unadkat added pressure further by taking away KL Rahul and Abishek Porel which further diminished DC’s batting strength.
Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs provided some resistance, posting a 66-run partnership before being dismissed by debutant Zeeshan Ansari; unfortunately the rest of DC’s batting line-up capitulated, leading to them falling back into irrelevancy to leave them at just 133/7.
Rishabh Pant’s blistering innings of 128 off 63 balls proved futile as he was run-out for the second time in four games due to sloppy running and was picked off a short ball from Shakib Al Hasan – with its trajectory taking it past his stumps and hitting off-side.
Shikhar Dhawan and Kane Williamson made short work of their chase on a slow Feroz Shah Kotla pitch to help Sunrisers claim their seventh win of the season and almost certainly end Delhi Daredevils’ playoff hopes for good.

SRH quickly made their mark during the early years of competition through their international-grade bowling, led by players like Dale Steyn, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and later Rashid Khan. Their mantra was simple – defend any total they were set.

Although Delhi lost numerous chances to score more runs, their visitors did not panic and pursued their target with diligence.
Their innings was built upon solid foundation of both bowling and batting; Harshal Patel’s offcutter in the opening over and the leg spinner’s inability to stop batsmen provided them with an edge over their opposition.
