IPL 2022, DC vs SRH Highlights: Delhi to face Hyderabad on Thursday. (Twitter/IPL)
Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 21 runs. A really good effort by Hyderabad to come as close as they did but in the end, it is yet another loss for them. It could have easily been a big one but thanks to Aiden Markram and Pooran they have finished pretty close to the target which did not look possible at one stage.
Kuldeep Yadav gets his first wicket of the game! A shorter ball, flatter and attacking the stumps. Kartik Tyagi steps down the track and misses it completely. The ball goes on to hit the stumps. Kartik Tyagi departs.
A gift to Nicholas Pooran and he is not going to miss out on these! A full toss, on middle. Nicholas Pooran smashes it high over deep mid-wicket for a biggie. SRH: 146/5 after 16 overs | Sunrisers Hyderabad need 62 runs in 24 balls
OUT! CAUGHT! Just when Hyderabad were building some momentum, they have lost a wicket! Smart bowling by Thakur. He goes full and wide outside off and it's an off-pace delivery. Singh looks to guide it fine past the short third man fielder. However, the off-pace nature of the ball takes it only straight to the hands of Anrich Nortje
Kane Williamson’s toss form and his batting form are inversely proportional at the moment. On Thursday, the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain won his ninth toss, in ten games, and yet again, he got out cheaply. Williamson so far has scored 199 runs in ten games at a strike rate of a shade over 96, opening the innings. It could be a matter of concern, as the tournament nears its business end. Today, an Anrich Nortje delivery undid him, Williamson tentatively poking it to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. Nortje went on a fist-pump overdrive. For Williamson, it marked the end of a miserable stay at the crease, on a day when his predecessor at the franchise starred for Delhi Capitals.

Khaleel Ahmed picks up the wicket and the dangerous Aiden Markram departs. He punches the bat in frustration and Hyderabad lose their fourth wicket. A slower length ball does the trick. SRH are 97/4 after 12.5 overs | 111 needed now from 43 balls
Kuldeep Yadav to Nicholas Pooran, SIX! Up, up and away! Top shot! A fuller ball, outside off. Nicholas Pooran smashes this over extra-cover all the way for a biggie. A tough shot but Pooran has made that look so easy! SRH are 63/3 after 10 overs
Mitchell Marsh gets the wicket of Rahul Tripathi, an easy catch by Thakur does the rest. Hyderabad are under pressure now. SRH are 37/3 after 7 overs.
Shardul Thakur to bowl the last over of the powerplay. Tripathi walks down the ground and hits it over the third man for a boundary. That's two back-to-back boundaries for Rahul Tripathi. SRH are 35/2 after 6 overs.
Nortje takes the wicket of Williamson, and an easy catch by Pant does the rest. That's a huge wicket for Delhi. Fine over by him. SRH are 24/2 after 5 overs.
Khaleel Ahmed to bowl the fourth over for Delhi. Tripathi pulls it for a maximum against Khaleel over backward square leg. That's a great shot!!! SRH are 23/1 after 4 overs.

It’s not known if David Warner had circled this match after the IPL schedule was released, but this was a grudge game and the Aussie couldn’t afford to fail. For so long, Warner was the fulcrum of Sunrisers Hyderabad, someone who led them to their only IPL title yet, in 2016. The relationship between him and the franchise turned sour last year, when he was sacked as Sunrisers captain before being unceremoniously dumped as a player. “Last year, it hit me when I lost the captaincy in the Indian Premier League,” Warner told The Brett Lee podcast a few months ago.
By dint of his reputation and a fine T20 World Cup last year, he bagged a Rs-6.25 crore contract with Delhi Capitals this term and the Sunrisers game was payback time. Steely determination oozed, through the clobbering of Umran Malik, a fierce straight hit against Sean Abbott and an imperious switch-hit off Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He berated himself for failing to put away a full-toss. He dived full-length to reach a delivery wide outside the off stump. He celebrated Rovman Powell’s half-century and egged him on to go for more. It didn’t matter that Powell’s last over pyrotechnics denied him a hundred. Warner revelled in his statement knock, 92 not out off 58 balls.

Khaleel Ahmed to bowl the second over. Abhishek Sharma hits a boundary towards a deep backward point. But he goes back to the pavilion, and Kuldeep takes a good catch. SRH are 9/1 after 2 overs.
Abhishek Sharma and Williamson start the run chase for Hyderabad. Thakur to bowl the first over for Delhi. Just 4 runs off the first over. SRH are 4/0 after 1 over.
Rovman Powell is taking Umran Malik to the task and hits three fours in a row. Then a bye to end the inings! Delhi end with 207/3 after 20 overs! It's been an exuberant exhibition of power-hitting from Delhi! David Warner and Rovman Powell have put on a scintillating batting performance and have guided Delhi to a mammoth total of over 200. Not the best day in the field for Hyderabad! They have a mountain to climb from here now.
FOUR! Finds the gap again and Warner goes into the 90s. 100 runs partnership comes up as well. A fullish delivery on middle and leg. Warner whips it towards deep square leg and find the gap as the ball races away towards the fence. DC: 188/3 after 18 overs
This is the power of Rovman Powell! Abbott with a length delivery, around off. Rovman Powell just stands tall and hammers it over long off for a biggie. But Powell is not done yet, and hits the next one for another maximum. Poor bowling from Abbott. DC: 165/3 after 17 overs
DRINKS! Two set-batters are on the crease for Delhi and both are very destructive batters. However, it is a high-scoring ground and pressure will be on Warner and Rovman Powell to go big in these last four overs. Can Delhi get over 190 here? DC: 147/3 after 16 overs
Maidan cricketers have a unique term to rave about a batsman's ability to meet the ball at the bounce. "Usko tappa milta hai," they say in awe when speaking about those blessed batters who have it in them to shift around the crease or dance down the track to take a spinner's ball on half-volley, negate the tweak imparted and score the maximum. Rishabh Pant seemed to be getting the tappa against SRH's Anil Kumble lookalike-spinner Shreyas Gopal. Calculative and crafty, the DC skipper knew who he would be targeting today. A left-hander taking on a leggie was a no-brainer. At the start of the over, Pant had 4 runs from 11 balls. After facing 4 balls from Gopal he had 26 runs from 15 balls. Wherever Gopal pitched, Pant would either lunge, jump or stretch and reach to catch the ball on the bounce. One six flew over the mid-wicket fence, other two over long off and extra cover boundary. Leg, middle or off, Pant connected everything. It seemed even if Gopal pitched at 11 yards, Pant would have sprinted and taken the ball on half-volley. But on the final ball of the over, Gopal came with a delivery that foxed Pant. It was a full-toss, outside off, that Pant was outplayed on. You can't get tappa for a full toss.

SIX! DISPATCHED! Another shorter delivery, around middle. Rovman Powell picks up the length and muscles this over deep square leg for a biggie.
FOUR! Warner brings up another fifty, his fourth fifty of this season! Malik goes slightly short and around off and Warner pulls it powerfully. He is looking like a man on mission and we might see a big one from the flamboyant left-hander today against his beloved, former team. A single now to end another expensive over by Malik! DC: 112/3 after 12 overs
Pant slogs this one for a six against Shreyas Gopal. It's just timing!! That's hattrick sixes for Pant. That's huge!! He is playing attacking cricket here. Shreyas Gopal has the last laugh as he takes the wicket of Pant. DC are 85/3 after 9 overs.

Delhi Capitals brought on Mandeep Singh for Prithvi Shaw and Bhuvneshwar Kumar took the opportunity to play a cat and mouse game with the replacement opener before having him in the bag. A sharp outswinger carried the 'good evening' message and Mandeep, a tad fidgety, left it at the last moment. Kumar picked the uneasiness and decided to tease the batsman with swing. A couple of inswingers beat the bat and hit the pad, as Mandeep looked cluless. His prey nicely set up, Kumar bowled an outswinger, as if he had almost pre-empted the unconvincing prod that Mandeep would offer. The ball actually held its line and the outside edge went to the wicketkeeper. Mandeep was put out of his misery, but DC had a poor start. Their opening experiment failed.
- Shamik Chakrabarty
Kartik Tyagi to bowl the last over of the powerplay. He is consistently clocking 140 kph. Tyagi bowls a no-ball, Warner capitalizes the free hit and hits a four. He hits another one over mid-off. DC are 50/2 after 6 overs.
Mitchell Marsh starts the over with a boundary against Abbott. Whatt!! Marsh departs, and Abbott makes a comeback by taking his wicket. DC are 37/2 after 4.2 overs.
Umran Malik bowls the fourth over for Hyderabad. Warner pulls it this time and gets a boundary. That's two in two for Warner, just times it through the covers for a four. He ends the over with a six. DC are 33/1 after 4 overs.
Mumbai Indians have signed South African Tristan Stubbs as a replacement for Tymal Mills, who has sustained an injury and has been ruled out for the rest of the IPL.
That's a good shot! Abbott gets hit for a boundary by Mitchell Marsh over a backward square leg. Both the Delhi batters are looking to score quick runs and make the most of the powerplay. DC are 11/1 after 2 overs.
Mandeep and Warner start the proceedings for Delhi. Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowls the first over for Hyderabad and he takes the wicket of Mandeep Singh. This is great bowling. DC are 0/1 after 1 over.
Rishabh Pant - We're happy to bat first, nothing much changes for us - we have 4 changes. Shaw, Axar, Mustafizur and Sakariya aren't playing. Nortje, Mandeep, Ripal Patel and Khaleel are in - some are forced changes due to injuries particularly Axar Patel, and few are because of the wicket. There is nothing much to talk (about losses), you can only learn from your mistakes and keep improving.
Kane Williamson - We will bowl first, dew could be coming later on, something early in the surface and we'll look to exploit it. We've taken positives from the losses and moved on, looking to come back well today. Three changes for us. They're excited to get an opportunity, and have worked hard at the nets. There is a lot to play for in every game and every team, looking to make those small improvements.
Delhi Capitals (Playing XI): David Warner, Mandeep Singh, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant(w/c), Lalit Yadav, Rovman Powell, Ripal Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed, Anrich Nortje.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson(c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran(w), Shashank Singh, Shreyas Gopal, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sean Abbott, Kartik Tyagi, Umran Malik.
Sunrisers Hyderabad win the toss, will bowl first.
This is a very important match for us, our batters are in good nick, but if we're to post a good score, one of our top-6 must convert it into a bigger innings. This is a good ground for us having won all the matches so far, so we're confident about winning tonight. We are taking one match at a time, and will look at the points table only after the entire 14 games, for now, the focus is on doing well today and getting those two points. If we win today, we'll get some good momentum going forward, can get into double digits in the points table and put pressure on the other teams. We've been hot and cold so far, so consistency matters a lot.
