After 20 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 186/8 ( Shreyas Gopal 9 , Bhuvneshwar Kumar 5)

Kuldeep Yadav is entrusted with the final over of Sunrisers’ chase and castles a charging Tyagi in the first delivery. Bhuvneshwar is the next man in, and gets off the mark with a boundary in the third ball of the over, followed by a single. Kuldeep then closes out with back-to-back dots.

Delhi Capitals win by 21 runs to keep their IPL 2022 playoff hopes alive with their fifth win of the season. Sunrisers Hyderabad, meanwhile, suffer their third loss in a row!

BOWLED! Kuldeep sees Tyagi charge down the pitch, and decides to alter his line while bowling a flat delivery — the ball breaches Tyagi’s defence and rattles the leg stump in the end. SRH 181/8

Tyagi b Kuldeep 7(5)

After 19 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 181/7 ( Shreyas Gopal 9 , Kartik Tyagi 7)

An expensive end to Marsh’s spell as he ends up conceding three boundaries, two of them going into Gopal’s account off successive deliveries. 16 from the over. SRH need 27 to win off six with three wickets in hand. Will Pant give Kuldeep the final over of the evening?

After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 165/7 ( Shreyas Gopal 0 , Kartik Tyagi 0)

Thakur into his final over. Steers a wide yorker through the extra cover region for a boundary in the first delivery, and is dropped on 54 two balls later, collecting a brace nevertheless. Pooran collects his sixth maximum with a firm hit straight down the ground. Thakur then gets rid of Pooran with a rank full toss to virtually end Sunrisers’ hopes of a miraculous victory. 12 runs and a wicket from the over. SRH need 43 off 12.

OUT! And that should be the game for the Capitals, as Thakur ends up bagging Pooran’s wicket, albeit with a rank full toss that the hard-hitting Trinidadian ends up miscuing towards wide long on. Powell settles under the ball and collects it safely in the end. Powell congratulates Pooran while the latter makes his way back to the dugout. SRH 165/7

Pooran c Powell b Thakur 62(34)

After 17 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 153/6 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 50 , Shreyas Gopal 0)

Khaleel returns after the timeout. Pooran brings up his half-century in the second delivery. Abbott then collects a six in the third delivery, clearing the leaping fielder at wide long on, only to perish the very next ball. Seven runs and a wicket from the over, an excellent one from Delhi’s perspective. Hyderabad need an improbably 55 in the last three overs. Might just be too much even for a well-set Pooran. Khaleel, meanwhile, finishes with 3/30.

OUT! Abbott perishes right after collecting his first six. Tries to go big down the ground, only to get a thick leading edge off the wide, length ball from Khaleel. Ripal collects a fine catch running backwards. SRH 153/6

Abbott c R Patel b Khaleel 7(5)

After 16 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 146/5 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 49 , Sean Abbott 1)

Single off each of the first two deliveries. Wide signalled in the third, though DC skipper Pant goes for the review after a faint appeal for caught-behind is turned down. Nothing on UltraEdge, and Delhi lose their review. Pooran smashes a rank full toss from Nortje towards deep midwicket, his fifth six of the evening. A brace and a single off the next two followed by a dot. 12 off the over. Nortje signs off with 1/35. SRH need 62 off the last four overs.

After 15 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 134/5 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 39 , Sean Abbott 0)

Thakur’s back too. Shashank collects a single off the first delivery before Pooran collects his fourth six in the second, getting down on one knee and smashing the ball into the stands behind the square leg fence. An under-pressure Thakur bowls five wides next up. Shashank then tickles a yorker-length delivery past the man at short fine in the fourth delivery. Shashank’s cameo though, ends the very next delivery as he steers the ball straight to Nortje at short third man to depart for 10. Sean Abbott joins Pooran at the centre with SRH needing 74 more to win from 30 with five wickets in hand. They have collected 86 in the last six, making the equation a fairly achievable one.

OUT! Straight to the man at short third man! Shashank departs after a six-ball cameo in which he collected 10. Was a slower delivery from Thakur that Shashank was looking to steer towards the third man region. SRH 134/5

Shashank c Nortje b Thakur 10(6)

After 14 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 117/4 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 32 , Shashank Singh 5)

Pooran continues to attack after Markram’s exit, smashing two sixes off Nortje, who returns to the attack. Expensive over from the South African pacer with 16 coming off it, including two wides besides the maximums. SRH need another 91 to win in the last six overs. Pooran’s batting on 32 off 21, and will have to produce a miracle to guide his team home from here.

After 13 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 101/4 ( Nicholas Pooran (W) 19 , Shashank Singh 4)

FOUR! And now Pooran gets into the act, guiding a full toss angled into the pad from Khaleel towards the vacant fine leg fence. The West Indian collects a brace off the second, guiding a full toss down the ground. Khaleel cops a painful blow on the collar bone while attempting to collect a catch off his own bowling; Pooran had struck the ball quite powerfully, and the left-arm seamer sure looks in a lot of pain, leading to a halt in proceedings and requiring the DC physio to head to the centre. The pain, though is followed by joy the very next ball as he gets rid of Markram with a slower ball, the set batter departing for 42. Shashank Singh walks out to bat next, and gets off the mark right away with a four. 11 runs and a wicket from the over. SRH need 107 more to win from 42.

OUT! Khaleel deceives Markram with a slower delivery; the South African looks to smash this down the ground, but hardly times the slog. Results in the simplest of catches for Kuldeep at long off. SRH 97/4

Markram c Kuldeep b Khaleel 42(25)

After 12 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 90/3 ( Aiden Markram 42 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 12)

Kuldeep starts off his third over with consecutive dots. Pooran dashes off for a quick single after a reverse sweep, with Markram making it to the striker’s end despite a direct hit from short fine. From conceding just one in the first four deliveries, Kuldeep ends up getting smashed for consecutive sixes by Markram in the last two balls, which brings up the fifty stand.

After 11 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 77/3 ( Aiden Markram 30 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 11)

Markram into his third over. Single to Pooran in the first delivery followed by a wide down the leg side. Markram collects back-to-back fours, going for an inside-out lofted drive over cover in the third followed by a heave through the midwicket region next ball to move to 26. Dot off the fifth, followed by a third boundary of the over to Markram as the South African clobbers a length ball outside off over mid off. 14 off the over, with 29 coming for the Sunrisers in the last two.

After 10 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 63/3 ( Aiden Markram 18 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 10)

Expensive over from Kuldeep, with both Markram and Pooran collecting a six each, as 15 runs are added to the SRH total in this over. The Sunrisers, though, are still a long way off from the target, collecting just 63 runs at the halfway stage and need another 145 to win from 60 balls. Delhi firm favourites to finish winners, even if Markram and Pooran are more than capable of rivalling the kind of destruction unleashed by Warner and Powell earlier this evening.

After 9 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 48/3 ( Aiden Markram 11 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 2)

Marsh continues. The Aussie all-rounder successfully appeal for leg-before against Pooran in the second delivery but the Trinidadian reviews right away, getting the decision overturned with the ball missing leg. Pooran pushes for a risky single in the fourth delivery. Markram slashes the ball hard, coming back for  a second after guiding the ball towards deep backward point. Four from the over. Umpire signals timeout.

After 8 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 44/3 ( Aiden Markram 8 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 1)

Spin introduced finally, with Kuldeep Yadav replacing Thakur. Seven off the over, including a boundary to Markram in the second ball towards third man. New batter Pooran, meanwhile, gets off the mark with a single.

After 7 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 37/3 ( Aiden Markram 2 , Nicholas Pooran (W) 0)

Mitchell Marsh introduced after the powerplay, and he continues to build pressure on the SRH batters by conceding just two in the first five deliveries. Desperate to break the shackles, Tripathi goes for the pull in the final delivery, only to get caught by Thakur at deep backward square. Two runs and a wicket from the over.

OUT! And now Tripathi departs just when he was starting to get settled. Tries to pull a short-of-length delivery towards the backward square leg fence, but perhaps did not account for the fielder stationed in that region. Thakur completes a fine catch in front of the boundary, as Marsh gets his name in the wickets column. SRH 37/3

Tripathi c Thakur b Marsh 22(18)

After 6 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 35/2 ( Rahul Tripathi 21 , Aiden Markram 1)

Thakur returns. Both Thakur and new batter Aiden Markram collect a single each in the first three balls, the latter getting off the mark, before Tripathi gives the SRH innings a much-needed impetus with back-to-back boundaries. He keeps the strike with a single off the last ball. 11 from the over. SRH reach 35/2 at the end of the powerplay.

After 5 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 24/2 ( Rahul Tripathi 11 , Aiden Markram 0)

What an over from Nortje! Not only does he get rid of the struggling Williamson in the second delivery, but bowls four consecutive dots — worth its weight in gold in the powerplay — with just one run coming off the over along with the wicket. SRH in serious trouble at the moment — they’ve lost both openers inside five overs with a little over 20 on board, chasing 208 to win.

OUT! Nortje gets the SRH skipper caught-behind, and boy is he delighted with the dismissal with his Steynesque celebration! Williamson was looking to play this late and guide it towards third man. Ends up nicking it to the keeper, with Pant lunging forward to complete a good catch. SRH 24/2

Williamson c Pant b Nortje 4(11)

After 4 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 23/1 ( Kane Williamson (C) 4 , Rahul Tripathi 10)

Khaleel continues. Starts off with back-to-back dots before Tripathi brings out an impressive pull that sends the ball sailing over the backward square leg fence, the first maximum of the evening. Tripathi then decides to play some mind games with the bowler, pulling out of his stance with the bowler getting into his delivery stride, not once but twice, leading to some understandably angry reactions from the bowler. Single to Tripathi in the fifth ball. Seven from the over.

After 3 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 16/1 ( Kane Williamson (C) 4 , Rahul Tripathi 3)

Anrich Nortje, playing just his second game of the season, replaces Thakur, and is hitting speeds in excess of 90mph right away. Seven off the over, including a first boundary of the evening for SRH skipper Williamson, pulling a 150 kmph delivery through the square leg region.

After 2 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 9/1 ( Kane Williamson (C) 0 , Rahul Tripathi 1)

Khaleel to bowl the 2nd over. Abhishek collects the first boundary of the innings with a mistimed slice over point off a wide delivery from the left-arm seamer, before departing the next ball after guiding the ball straight into the hands of the man stationed at short fine. New batter Rahul Tripathi gets off the mark right away with a single. Five runs and a wicket from the over.

OUT! The decision to bring a fielder at 45 results in Delhi getting the early breakthrough, as Khaleel strikes in his first over of the evening. Abhishek, having collected the first boundary of the evening in the prevous delivery, ends up steering this straight into Kuldeep’s hands at that position to depart for 7. SRH 8/1

Sharma c Kuldeep b Khaleel 7(6)

After 1 over,Sunrisers Hyderabad 4/0 ( Abhishek Sharma 3 , Kane Williamson (C) 0)

Abhishek Sharma’s on strike for the first delivery of the innings. Thakur bowls a wide in the second delivery. Abhishek then collects the first runs off the bat with a brace in the second delivery, following it up with a single. Dot off each of the last three balls of the over.

And what a solid statement from the former Sunrisers captain today

Seems like the easiest dressing room speech for Ricky Ponting tonight…

*One look at David Warner*

“Hey mate… it’s Sunrisers Hyderabad!” #DCvSRH #IPL2022

WHAT.AN.OVER.

Yes he went for runs in that over but look at those wheels by Umran Malik. 🔥🔥🔥

After 20 overs,Delhi Capitals 207/3 ( David Warner 92 , Rovman Powell 67)

Umran Malik bowls the final over of the innings. Powell collects a six off the first ball to bring up his maiden IPL fifty, before collecting a hat-trick of fours off Malik as Delhi post 207/3 after being asked to bat by Hyderabad. Warner didn’t face a single delivery despite batting on 92, and was seen cheering Powell on after every boundary. Meanwhile, Umran Malik breaks his own record for the fastest delivery of the season — touching 157 and 155 clicks in the fourth and fifth deliveries! 19 off the final over, with DC collecting 70 in the last five overs.

After 19 overs,Delhi Capitals 188/3 ( David Warner 92 , Rovman Powell 49)

FOUR! What a shot from Davey Warner — shapes for a scoop after switching to the right-hand stance before deceiving both the bowler and the keeper with some deft work, opening the face of his bat in the last second to guide it past the keeper. Single off the next two deliveries before Warner collects back-to-back fours to bring up the century stand with Powell for the fourth wicket! 14 off the over, with Bhuvneshwar signing off with 1/25 from four — 23 of those runs coming in his second spell.

After 18 overs,Delhi Capitals 174/3 ( David Warner 79 , Rovman Powell 48)

Tyagi returns for his final over of the evening. Manages to keep Warner quiet bowling mainly the yorker-length balls along or outside off. Concedes three in the first four balls, including a wide, before Powell unleashes a brute of a pull down the ground, the ball almost disappearing in the black night sky. Markram, standing at long on, ends up parrying the ball over the boundary rope to give the West Indian his fifth maximum. Tyagi ends his quota with a dot.
