SRH remain unbeaten at home and this time, it was a performance that warranted a win for David Warner’s side. Kane Williamson showed why he is considered one of the best in the world with his 89 off 51 balls along with able assistance from Shikhar Dhawan. Shreyas Iyer put up a good fight for the Daredevils on a day when Rishabh Pant failed to fire.
IPL 2017, SRH vs DD match highlights:
2332 hrs IST: GONE! Angelo Mathews goes big, finds Chris Jordan, Siddharth Kaul does it once again for SRH in the final over.
2330 hrs IST: Kaul with the last over now, Mathews hits him for a six off the second ball. But the third is a dot! 17 needed off 3 now.
2327 hrs IST: Bhuvneshwar bowls a yorker, Iyer pushes it fine. Lovely bowling, fantastic batting, it goes for four! 25 needed off the last over now
2325 hrs IST: The penultimate over, the one that can decide everything, Bhuvneshwar bowling it, four have come off the first three
2323 hrs IST: 50 partnership between Shreyas Iyer and Angelo Mathews. A brilliant 17th over from Kaul spoilt by a four that Iyer hit off the last ball.
2318 hrs IST: Steady work this from the Delhi Daredevils. Shreyas Iyer has been measured against Bhuvneshwar Kumar and has not fallen into his traps.
2308 hrs IST: SIX! Shreyas Iyer switching gears here. A good 15th over for the Daredevils, 16 runs off it, they need 65 from 30 balls.
2301 hrs IST: WICKET! Samson miscues the big hit, Henriques completes a neat catch off Siraj’s bowling. Delhi Daredevils struggling now. 105/4
2253 hrs IST: 100 up for Delhi Daredevils in the 13th over of the chase. Asking rate climbing with every dot delivery. Soars to around 12 every over now
2247 hrs IST: SRH have their tails up now. One more wicket will make it their game. Shreyas Iyer is the new man in but a lot of pressure will be now on set batsman Samson
2243 hrs IST: WICKET! Two in the over now. Rishabh Pant is out for a golden duck as he hits the Yuvraj delivery straight to Warner in the deep. DD 84/3
2241 hrs IST: WICKET! Sharp work by Vijay Shankar in the deep and Nair fails to make ground. Yuvraj whips the bails in a flash and that’s the end of the right-hander’s innings. Delhi Daredevils 84/2
2239 hrs IST: Yuvraj Singh into the attack after the time out and he concedes a boundary first ball. Slapped off the back-foot by Samson
2236 hrs IST: Five coming from the Rashid over. Delhi Daredevils, chasing 192, are 80/1 after nine overs. Samson and Nair in the middle for the visitors
2232 hrs IST: SIX! Nair walks into the Henriques delivery and hits it over covers for a gorgeous maximum. Top hit by the right-hander. Perfect position, still head and brilliant follow through of the blade
2230 hrs IST: Delhi should look to promote Pant and Morris up the order. They need to be ahead of the asking rate. There is a lot of variety in SRH bowling attack
2222 hrs IST: 50 up for Delhi Daredevils. Karun Nair and Sanju Samson are carrying on well after that early hiccup.
2219 hrs IST: SIX! Sanju Samson picks up a full one from Kaul and hits it over long-on. Makes it look ridiculously easy while at it.
2212 hrs IST: Karun Nair replaces Billings and hits back-to-back fours straight up off Bhuvneshwar Kumar but just one more run came off that over after that so a bit of damage control done by Bhuvi after that.
2207 hrs IST: OUT! Sam Billings is dismissed by Siraj. Three fours had gone before that dismissal but this time, he hits it straight to the fielder at midwicket.
2202 hrs IST: The players walk out on to the pitch, Bhuvneshwar Kumar starts the defence, Sanju Samson and Sam Billings start the attack.
2145 hrs IST: 17-run last over by Zaheer allows Hyderabad finish well after a poor 19th over. The hosts post 191/4 and have set visitors a stiff target
2141 hrs IST: Just four runs and two wickets off the 19th over bowled by Morris. The seamer ends with brilliant figures of 4/26. Zaheer to bowl the 20th over now
2138 hrs IST: WICKET! Morris on the money..sharp yorker crashes into the woodwork. Yuvraj has to depart now. Sunrisers Hyderabad losing way in the death overs. 170/4
2136 hrs IST: WICKET! It’s that man Morris again. Gets rid of another set batsman, Shikhar Dhawan this time as the left-hander hits one straight to Mathews in the deep. Out after scoring a brisk 70
2134 hrs IST: As Williamson departs, Dhawan takes charge now. After a quiet over, he picks a Mathews delivery and hits a flat six. Moves to 69 off only 48 balls
2126 hrs IST: WICKET! Morris back into the attack and he scalps the big fish. Williamson miscues the big hit and Shreyas Iyer takes a stunning catch in the deep. The right-hander falls short of 100 by 11 runs, SRH 148/2 in the 17th over

2124 hrs IST: 88* and Williamson now has the highest score by a SRH batsman this year. Why was he on the bench? Quality batting by the Kiwi batsman in his first match this season
2121 hrs IST: Boundary off Mathews takes Williamson closer to the 100-run mark. He is cruising, and toying with the bowling in the middle
2117 hrs IST: FIFTY for Dhawan. He has been a happy spectator in the innings so far but the left-hander has played an important role in staying out there with Williamson, and keep the scoreboard ticking
2114 hrs IST: It’s raining runs from Williamson’s bat today. Makes the little shuffle while facing Zaheer but returns to his mark and picks it off the pads for a boundary
2111 hrs IST: Two sixes and a boundary coming in Mishra’s 19-run over. Hyderabad’s charge with Williamson-Dhawan switches to fifth gear now. 127/1, with six to play
2108 hrs IST: Dhawan hits Mishra for a boundary first ball and brings up the 100-run stand with Williamson, off only 70 balls. 200 very much on if this pair continues to bat in this fashion
2106 hrs IST: Cummins’ erratic spell comes to an end. The seamer returns with disappointing figures of 0/37. He was all over the place today and failed to hit the right areas
2103 hrs IST: And, 100 up for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 13th over of the innings. Williamson and Dhawan looking dangerous now
2101 hrs IST: Williamson runs a couple and brings up FIFTY in his first match of IPL 2017. This is only his second fifty in the cash-rich league
2058 hrs IST: Mishra to continue for Delhi Daredevils. The left-right combination has turned out to be very effective for the hosts. The platform is set for the batsmen to follow to fire on all cylinders
2056 hrs IST: SIX! Short, and a fine shot by Williamson. Gets into a solid position and hits it all the way for his third maximum of the night
2054 hrs IST: Either Williamson or Dhawan could change gears now. Enough wickets in the bag to take risks now
2052 hrs IST: Seven coming off Mishra’s first over. At the half-way mark, SRH are looking good at 80/1. Two set batsmen in the middle, and plenty of batting to follow
2049 hrs IST: Time for spin now as Zaheer introduces Amit Mishra into the attack
2048 hrs IST: Williamson makes the late adjustment and scoops the Zaheer delivery for a boundary. It was turning out to be a tight over but the right-hander ensured a strong finish
2046 hrs IST: Just an FYI, Zaheer Khan is on 99 wickets.
2044 hrs IST: Look who’s in the house

2039 hrs IST: Cummins continues, Williamson goes for two, just about makes his ground. Umpire does go upstairs but the third umpire calls it not out. Cummins then concedes a four off the fourth ball to Shikhar Dhawan.
2035 hrs IST: Williamson goes big and smashes 12 runs off Mathews’ last two balls. The first one was over square leg while the second disappeared into the skies above long off.
2032 hrs IST: Angelo Mathews the bowler and Dhawan tries to pull his fourth ball. The ball takes the inside edge and takes a knock at Shikhar Dhawan’s sweet spot. Goes down to the ground and asks for some water and respite. As always, it’s a funny one to watch.
2025 hrs IST: Pat Cummins bowls the sixth and the Daredevils go up to appeal for an lbw off his first ball. Umpire not interested. He is then hit for boundary bu Dhawan off his third ball
2019 hrs IST: Zaheer Khan into the attack for the Daredevils. Typically economical from the DD skipper, just three runs off the fifth over.
2015 hrs IST: Kane Williamson makes his first appearance in IPL 10, his firs boundary comes of Chris Morris. Morris is hit hit for another four by Shikhar Dhawan.
2013 hrs IST: Just so you know….
Warner’s 4 today is his first single figure score in the IPL in 17 innings, dating back to 26/04/16—he has scored 789 runs since then. #IPL

2007 hrs IST: OUT! David Warner is the first man to go! Warner goes for the pull and takes a leading edge, the ball goes high up in the air and Amit Mishra takes a straightforward catch.
2005 hrs IST: Shikhar Dhawan goes after one outside off. Misses it and goes to the keeper. Delhi ask the question to the umpire but the sound was that of the bat hitting the ground.
2001 hrs IST: 10 runs came off that first over. Jayant Yadav’s first ball was a no-ball and the resulting free-hit went for four. Five more singles come off that over and it is a brisk start for SRH.
1959 hrs IST: Jayant Yadav the man with the new ball. David Warner has some problem with the DD refrigerator near the sight screen. That is sorted and the first ball is bowled and it is a no-ball and a free hit.
1956 hrs IST: This is it then, the umpires walk out followed by the David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan for SRH. Zaheer Khan and his troops also make their way to the middle.
1939 hrs IST: Here are the two teams then;
Delhi Daredevils: Sam Billings, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant, Angleo Mathews, Chris Morris, Jayant Yadav, Pat Cummins, Amit Mishra, Zaheer Khan (C)
Sunrisers Hyderabad: David Warner (C), Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson, Moises Henriques, Yuvraj Singh, Deepak Hooda, Naman Ojha†, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Mohammed Siraj, Siddharth Kaul
1926 hrs IST: TOSS! Sunrisers Hyderabad win the toss and elect to bat first. Two changes for SRH: Mohammad Nabi is off for Kane Williamson for SRH and Mohammed Siraj in for Bariner Sran. Jayant Yadav returns for Delhi Daredevils.
1911 hrs IST: Welcome and we are back in Hyderabad where SRH have proven to be a team to beat. But their dominance at home was put under the scanner when they came up against Kings XI Punjab’s Manan Vohra. The Punjab opener almost single handedly ravaged the SRH bowling attack and threatened to clinch what looked like an impossible victory for KXIP. But Bhuvneshwar Kumar brought them back with some bowling master class in the death overs. He ended the match with a five wickets.
At the same time, Delhi Daredevils have a bowling attack that would be the envy of quite a few teams in the IPL. Pat Cummins, Chris Morris, Zaheer Khan and Amit Mishra have proven that they are a unit that can win matches on their own.
