Warner and Powell’s attack as well as some good new ball bowling, led by Khaleel Ahmed (3/30) had the target ahead of SRH as the Capitals registered their fifth win of the season in 10 matches. Nicholas Pooran Threatened to chase down the target with an aggressive 62 off 34 balls while hitting 6 sixes, but they had little to do as SRH fell 21 short for the loss of eight wickets.

Warner, batting on 92, dismissed Powell from the non-striker’s end as the Jamaican was trapped by Umran Malik in the final over and did not even yearn for the strike to score 19 runs. Malik ran at 156 and 157 kmph in the last over and Powell smacked him over cover every time in five minutes of scintillating cricket. Warner’s voice grew louder with each Powell strike. He was there to cause major damage to SRH and let Powell do the same.
As he has done right during his T20 career, Warner displayed a masterclass in producing a devastating T20 innings, hitting three sixes and 12 fours in all parts of the field while running like a frantic dog between the wickets . And his masterclass taught some harsh lessons to inexperienced Indian fast bowlers like Malik and Karthik Tyagi. They were both creating heat as they scraped the 150kmph mark on the speedometer, but in the humid conditions the fire was raging under Warner’s helmet. It was only Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s experience and deceit that could counter Warner’s wrath, ending his spell with figures of 1/25 in his four overs.

This season, Malik, excited by the tag of fast bowlers, gave Warner a tough fight with the word go. Warner, who was raised on fast pitches against the fast pace in Australia, liked it. He was contemptuously dragging Malik in front of the square. Every time Warner hit Umran, he came back with the fast ball and the southpaw was always waiting for it.
The only piece of ordinary cricket from the Capitals was when replacement opener Mandeep Singh was at sea against Bhuvneshwar’s class before the wicketkeeper was dismissed for a duck off the fourth ball of the innings. Skipper Rishabh Pant smashed leg-spinner Shreyas Gopal for three sixes and a four, pulling a full toss for 26 off 16 balls and getting to his stumps. However, at the end of the innings, a freeway was opened by Warner. For the Capitals to come on a roll in the tournament.
