Sunrisers Keep Their Playoff Hopes Alive After Majestic Win Over Delhi
With stellar-show of Warner and Saha, Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Delhi Capitals after putting highest total on Dubai ground in IPL-13. Batting first, Sunrisers posted 77 runs in powerplay, highest in the tournament. No DC bowler was up to the mark as Rabada also went wicketless for the first time in the season. It was Axar who broke the partnership by dismissing Warner 66(34), but till then Sunrisers had crossed 100 runs in 10 overs. Later, 'man of the match' Saha 87(45) was joined by Manish Pandey 44(31) for a 70-run partnership, which helped SRH put a mammoth total of 219. On the contrary, Delhi' inning did not start well as in-form Dhawan was out for a golden-duck. Moreover, six Delhi batsmen failed to score in double digits. Hyderabad's Rashid was incredible as he gave his IPL best with 3 wickets for 7 runs in four overs. Capitals succumbed to 131 as Sunrisers wrapped their 2nd highest win by 88 runs.
