Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Highlights: DC speed aces SRH, regain top spot | Cricket News – Times of India

It seems like Kagiso Rabada And Enrique Nortje They are as much at home in Dubai as they are bowling at the quintessential fast track in South Africa. At least, his delivery is hammering the shoulder. Sunrisers Hyderabad The batsmen’s bats on Wednesday indicate so. They were performing. They were out to bully.
Delhi Capitals Were resuming their IPL campaign for this year. But it looked like Rabada and Nortje had hit the replay button from their past year’s exploits on the same ground. The venomous pace and disappointing bounce off the pitch from the South African pairing with Avesh Khan pinned the SRH batsmen to the crease during the innings. Kane WilliamsonThe team worked on a nominal total of 134/9.

The Capitals used the pace and bounce of the Dubai pitch. SRH’s medium-pacer fell behind on that count as captain Rishabh Pant Whenever Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed tried to bang the fence, they contemptuously cleaned the fence.
Pant scored 35 runs in 21 balls and Shreyas Iyer (47 off 41*) Completing the job by pulling Jason Holder for a six in front of the square, the Capitals crossed the target with eight wickets and 13 balls to spare. Prithvi Shaw (11 off 8) and Shikhar Dhawan (42 out of 37) fell while trying to cross the border.

The gap between the two teams was clearly visible. And this is reflected in the points table where Capitals are at the top and Sunrisers are pitifully at the bottom.
A tall but fast, there was hardly any room for the SRH batsmen to fold their arms. Nortje hit 150 kmph on the speed gun several times and exceeded 145 kmph through his spell to finish with 2/12 in four overs. Rabada backed him and returned figures of 3/37.

There were a few desperate hoics that sailed over the fence. But they also had to make do with Rabada’s extra pace, which the batsmen were really getting some time for.
Capitals is a developed team. There are other players who have not yet reached the pinnacle of their cricketing prowess, while SRH’s batting is heavily reliant on David Warner and Kane Williamson, with the middle order full of Indian batsmen getting out of the way when it comes to Team India’s plan. are gone. of things.

Nortje set the tone for the match when he took a simple catch and lobbed Warner off Axar Patel on point on the third ball of the match. At 0/1, it was clear that the SRH batting lineup was not going to get any respite from the thunderbolt inflicted by the Capitals’ fast bowlers. Axar’s development as a canny left-arm spinner with figures of 2/21 made it difficult for SRH to move on.
Pant made sure there was a fast bowler going from one end at all times. The scrap was real for SRH. When Axar deceived Williamson for the second time to end his innings of 18 off 26 balls, with two missed chances, it exposed the gap he was in.
It didn’t matter when Marcus Stoinis walked off the ground with a dodgy hamstring after bowling 1.1 overs. Once Ashwin had a day off but then when you have four bowlers on a song, some of the blame is covered.
