IPL 12 Match 16 DC vs SRH at Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi: Rabada comes on to bowl the 17th and Mohammed Nabi has joined Yusuf Pathan in the middle. Both batsmen haven’t done anything stupid and that is a surprising now. Three runs off Rabada’s over with equation now reading 16 needed off 18. What should have been over by now, especially after the Bairstow’s blitzkrieg is now heading for a tense finish. Not an early night for the cricketers or us.

DC have won two of their four matches so far but the last two games have seen them struggle with lower order collapses. In their third match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), DC looked in complete control during the chase with Prithvi Shaw batting on 99 only for them to surrender the advantage after Shaw’s fall as Kuldeep Yadav defended six in the final over to take the tie into Super Over. Kagiso Rabada’s brilliance in the Super Over saved the day for DC as they secured the win over KKR in the tie break. However, there was no rescue act in their previous match against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), DC were once again in control of things at 144 for 3, needing 167 to win but a dramatic collapse saw them lose their remaining seven wickets for merely eight runs to be shot out for 152. With the presence of host of young stars including captain Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant, the challenge for DC will be to avoid repeating same mistakes as they take on SRH, one of the most formidable teams in the league. DC will also take the road after the SRH tie and that makes the two points even more vital. On the other hand, SRH have won two of their three matches. A team known of their bowling has seen their batting might aid them win matches. While a David Warner blitz helped them chase down a 199-run target against Rajasthan Royals (RR) and then against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) SRH openers Jonny Bairstow and Warner’s centuries led Hyderabad to a massive 118-run triumph. All eyes will be skipper Kane Williamson. The Kiwi player missed the last match due to a niggle as his replacement Mohammad Nabi took four wickets. SRH team management now face a dilemma over Williamson’s inclusion. In 12 matches so far between these two sides, SRH have won eight.

No. of IPL matches Nabi has played for SRH : 7
No. of IPL matches SRH has won out of those : 7
Sunrisers Hyderabad get over the line! Beat Delhi Capitals to win by five wickets
SIX! Nabi has thumped a short and wide delivery from Rabada over deep backward point for a maximum. No nerves in the end as Sunrisers Hyderabad clinch the win in the penultimate over.
After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 120/5 ( Yusuf Pathan 8 , Mohammad Nabi 7)
Pathan rides his luck as he got a leading edge that went high in the air but fell safe as their was no mid on in place. Nabi collects a vital boundary. SRH need 10 off 12. Can a Rabada special help DC comeback into this?
After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 114/5 ( Yusuf Pathan 7 , Mohammad Nabi 2)
Rabada comes on to bowl the 17th and Mohammed Nabi has joined Yusuf Pathan in the middle. Both batsmen haven’t done anything stupid and that is a surprising now. Three runs off Rabada’s over with equation now reading 16 needed off 18. What should have been over by now, especially after the Bairstow’s blitzkrieg is now heading for a tense finish. Not an early night for the cricketers or us.
After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 111/5 ( Yusuf Pathan 6 , )
Sunrisers have started an implosion of their own. Half their side is back in the dugout and again find two new batsmen in the middle. Will they huff and puff their way towards the finish line or Delhi will pull out a rabbit out of the hat? Last four overs coming up after the time out. SRH need 19 runs off 24 balls with five wickets in the bank.
OUT! Oh dear, it is happening! Deepak Hooda becomes the latest batsman to throw away his wicket while playing an unwanted shot. This is just poor cricket from Sunrisers. Was the googly and Hooda goes down the wicket and tries to play slog sweep, he never got to the pitch of the ball as the ball dipped on him doesn’t get enough and Rabada makes no mistake in the deep.
Hooda c Rabada b Lamichhane 10(11)
Yusuf Pathan last five IPL innings against DC:
27*, 59, 10, 42, 40*
After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 103/4 ( Deepak Hooda 7 , Yusuf Pathan 1)
Yusuf Pathan walks out to the middle. Three runs from the over and Axar Patel ends his quota with a wicket of the final over of the match. Can Delhi still trigger a late collapse to pull off an unlikely win. SRH need 27 off 30 balls
OUT! Alright then! Now Vijay Shankar departs. He hangs his head low after the shot and knows what has he done. Patel banged the ball short and Vijay was looking to force the ball off the backfoot through the covers. The ball might have stopped a touch and Vijay certainly got the timing all wrong. Shreyas Iyer this time moves across swiftly and snaffles a good low catch.
Shankar c Shreyas Iyer b Axar 16(21)
After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 100/3 ( Vijay Shankar 16 , Deepak Hooda 5)
Sunrisers reach the 100-run mark in the 14th over. Delhi Capitals had another opportunity of making it two wickets in two over but Iyer spilled a chance at extra cover. Hooda the beneficiary. He gets off the mark with a boundary.
After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 95/3 ( Vijay Shankar 16 , )
Ishant Sharma is brought into the attack. He gets the slower one wrong, slipping down the leg side for a wide and keeps angling into the pads a couple of times as Pandey and Vijay work it away for couple of singles before Pandey whips it straight to Prithvi Shaw to deep mid wicket.
OUT! Don’t know what made Manish Pandey play such a shot? Pandey has simply thrown a massive opporunity of steering his side home and gain some confidence. Was the slower delivery digged in on middle and leg from Ishant and Pandey went for a cross batted swipe and hits it straight to Shaw in the deep.
Manish Pandey c Prithvi Shaw b Ishant 10(13)
After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 90/2 ( Vijay Shankar 14 , Manish Pandey 8)
Tewatia sends down a tidy over, varying his pace really well here. Lamichhane could borrow the strategy from the fellow spinner. Three runs from the over.
After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 87/2 ( Vijay Shankar 13 , Manish Pandey 7)
With the field spread out, Vijay and Pandey do the sensible thing of working the ball around for singles. They took six of them in Patel’s third over. SRH need 43 off 54 balls. Iyer needs couple of quick wickets.
After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 81/2 ( Vijay Shankar 10 , Manish Pandey 4)
Bairstow’s blast in a small run chase has made life easier for the batsmen, who have come in, there is no scoreboard pressure and have all the time to get themselves in. Vijay collects his first boundary of the innings and at the halfway stage SRH have in the driver’s seat, requiring 48 runs from 60 balls.
After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 73/2 ( Vijay Shankar 4 , Manish Pandey 2)
Vijay plays a delightful inside out shot off Lamichanne for a couple. Manish Pandey gets off the mark with a brace as well. Reads the wrong’un and punches to deep extra cover. Time out taken.
After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 68/2 ( Vijay Shankar 1 , )
Rabada provides the second wicket. So Delhi Capitals have removed both the SRH openers in the space of two overs. The SRH middle order hasn’t spent a lot of time in the middle and Delhi will be looking to expose the frailities. Can they trigger a collapse?
OUT! David Warner hits it straight to mid off and has to depart. Rabada bowled it full on middle stump and Warner was created some room by backing away on the leg side and carve it over the covers, couldn’t get under it and gives a catch to mid off fielder, where Morris holds on to a low catch.
Warner c Chris Morris b Rabada 10(18)
After 7 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 64/1 ( David Warner 7 , Vijay Shankar 0)
What Lamichhane, Morris, Axar Patal and Rabada couldn’t do, Tewatia has done it by getting rid of the dangerman Jonny Bairstow. Vijay Shankar joins Warner in the middle. SRH need 68 to win off 78 balls.
OUT! Tewatia gets the big wicket of Jonny Bairstow. He falls just two short of his fifty. Tewatia’s bowls a full floater on middle and leg stump, Bairstow looks to flick it through the leg side but misses it and up goes the finger. Bairstow asked for a review straightaway, perhaps he must have got some bat on that one. The replays show there is nothing on UltraEdge and the ball-tracking confirms the ball would have crashed into the leg stump. What a spectacular innings by YJB!

Most consecutive 50-plus opening stands in IPL:
5 – Chris Gayle/KL Rahul
4 – Gautam Gambhir/Robin Uthappa
4 – Shikhar Dhawan/David Warner
4 – David Warner/Jonny Bairstow*
After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 62/0 ( David Warner 6 , Jonny Bairstow (W) 47)
Bairstow is sparing no one here, not even Rabada. So there were a lot of complains of the games ending past the midnight, reckon Bairstow has taken upon himself to provide a solution. Rabada takes a beating in his first over as he concedes 14.
