IPL 12 Eliminator DC vs SRH at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam: After all the drama, Khaleel pitches it short and Paul smacks it to deep mid-wicket boundary for four runs. DC win by 2 wickets. DC will meet CSK in Qualifier 2. SRH knocked out IPL 2019, Eliminator DC vs SRH, Today’s Match Preview: It will be a do-or-die situation for both Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) when they lock horns in the Eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 on Wednesday. While DC (18 points) have six points more than SRH (12), a major concern for them has been that of their batting line-up. Coming into this match, DC would hope to forget their nightmare performance against CSK in their last group stage match when they were bundled out for just 99 in an 80-run defeat. While Prithvi Shaw has had a mixed season so far, with his top score being 99 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) which was his lone score past 50 , Shikhar Dhawan has had quite a positive one, registering five fifties. Shaw will be looking to get back to his best in the crunch match. Interestingly, Dhawan’s top-score of 97 not out also came against KKR when the two teams played at the Eden Gardens. However, a major blow for the Capitals will be the absence of South Africa’s Kagiso Rabada, who picked up 25 wickets in just 12 matches. The right-arm fast bowler registered a match-winning spell of 4-21 against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Likewise, Australia opener David Warner’s services will be missed in the SRH camp. A lot was expected from the 32-year-old, and he delivered to his expectations by amassing 692 runs from 12 matches, including eight fifties and a century in his IPL return after a year. Khaleel Ahmed has been the top bowler for the 2016 champions this season, having scalped 17 wickets in just 12 games. Manish Pandey has been the shining light in Hyderabad’s armour but SRH would be hoping that the rest of the batsmen stand up and provide strong support to Pandey. A lot will depend on how DC tackle Rashid Khan who has been a T20 revelation. Expect a cracker.

)
Rishabh Pant is Player of the Match for his 21-ball 49:
Pant: If you are set on this wicket, you need to finish the match. Next time I will try to finish the match. This time I took it very close. If your mindset is negative, you can’t play your shots. You have to have a big over when the target is big. I did not try to hit the ball too hard. I was just trying to time the ball.
Holding back Khaleel was a wrong move?
Ball 5: FOUR! After all the drama, Khaleel pitches it short and Paul smacks it to deep mid-wicket boundary for four runs. DC win by 2 wickets.
DC will meet CSK in Qualifier 2. SRH knocked out
OUT!
Ball 4: Good ball, leaves Mishra, he could not connect and ran blindly, Paul responded, Saha threw it to non-striker’s end but Mishra changed his direction to come in front of the stumps, SRH appealed for the same, took the review, third umpire checked it for any hint of ball taking the edge off the bat and then on field umpire S Ravi said not-out. Kane reached the umpire again and asked him for obstructing the field dismissal. The decision went upstairs again and he is declared out obstructing the field. So much drama going on in the middle.

Delhi Capitals need 2 runs in 2 balls
After 19 overs,Delhi Capitals 158/7 ( Keemo Paul 0 , Amit Mishra 0)
This match is going to the last over. Pant showed spirit of the cricket on one ball, did not take a single as Bhuvneshwar fell while fielding. On the next ball, he fell himself and went back to the dressing room. Should have taken the single? Maybe, yes! Delhi Capitals need 5 runs in 6 balls
After 18 overs,Delhi Capitals 151/5 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 43 , Sherfane Rutherford 9)
Well, Pant hit 21 off the five balls he faced in the over and DC collected 22 in total. This was an innings which tells you again how exceptional a player this lad from Delhi is. Delhi Capitals need 12 runs in 12 balls and one might say that it will take a miracle for SRH to win this one now.
After 17 overs,Delhi Capitals 129/5 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 22 , Sherfane Rutherford 8)
Bhuvneshwar returns to the attack. He starts with two dots. The pressure was building on Rutherford and he played a heave to collect just 1. Pant came on strike, and he hit a risky shot to deep in the off side to get 1. There was silence for a while before Rutherford cleared the long-off boundary for a six. Now, Delhi Capitals need 34 runs in 18 balls
DC’s hopes pinned on Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant’s scores against SRH in IPL: 23, 5, 128*, 18, 34, 0, 32, 39*
After 16 overs,Delhi Capitals 121/5 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 21 , Sherfane Rutherford 1)
Nabi completes his quota as well. Rashid is done. Spin threat is over for DC. Godo batting from Pant, hits a six and then collects two off the next ball. Delhi Capitals need 42 runs in 24 balls. This is still DC’s match. They need to keep the calm.
After 15 overs,Delhi Capitals 111/5 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 12 , Sherfane Rutherford 0)
Kane threw the ball to Rashid, a big move to let him bowl the 15th over. And look what he has done. He is a champpion bowler for a reason and he has ran through the middle order at light’s speed. Munro and Axar back in the hut. Another left-hander in Rutherford joins Pant in the middle. Delhi Capitals need 52 runs in 30 balls
After 14 overs,Delhi Capitals 111/3 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 12 , Colin Munro 14)
Thampi returns and he has bowled well here. Good use of variations in the over, which beat Munro on occasions. But despite that, some bad luck and then odd bad balls, means he goes for 12 in the over. Delhi Capitals need 52 runs in 36 balls
After 13 overs,Delhi Capitals 99/3 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 11 , Colin Munro 3)
Rashid returns to complete his third over. Three dots and a big LBW appeal before Munro, the new batsmem, scampered for a single. Just 2 off it and this is a good bowling show from SRH in the middle overs, creating pressure on the DC batting. Delhi Capitals need 64 runs in 42 balls
