IPL 2020, DC vs SRH Highlights: Rashid Khan inspires Hyderabad to maiden win

Kagiso Rabada is on and he takes on Bhuvneshwar to hit a well-placed and much-needed boundary. But neither Rabada nor Axar can make much of the over after the way Rashid dismantled their batting order. Delhi need 28 off 6 balls. DC: 135/6 (19 overs)

T Natarajan comes in, and he comes up with an inspired over. He keeps the explosive Stoinis (11) on a leash and restricts him and Axar Patel (3*) to just running between the wickets. And then the LBW against the Australian! Plumb. Gone. DC: 126/6 (18 overs)

Stoinis took no time to settle in the last over with him hitting a four but he plays timidly against the extremely economical Rashid. Pant makes the mistake of taking him and loses his wicket. Caught by Garg. Delhi need 46 off 20 balls. DC: 117/5 (16.4 overs)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes in and his experience does half the job. He teases Hetmyer to go for a shot, bowls a slower ball and his wayward shot lands in the hands of Manish Pandey. The batsman departs for 21. Time out! DC: 104/4 (15.1 overs)

After Natarajan went for 10 runs in the last over, Khaleel is brought back into the attack. Hetmyer checks him for a ball and then sends his delivery flying over deep mid-wicket! And again! 16 runs off the over. Into the final five overs now. DC: 104/3 (15 overs)

Hello, hello, do we have a game here? DC have finally woken up from their slumber and it is Pant (20*) who hits the first two sixes of their innings. Sharma gets hit for two maximums in his final two balls of the innings. 15 runs off the over. DC: 78/3 (13 overs)

There's the big fish! Rashid does it again for Hyderabad! The spinner's delivery is not well checked by Dhawan (34) and he goes for a miscalculated shot and instead gets caught behind by Bairstow. The review worked perfectly for SRH. DC: 62/3 (11.3 overs)

Rashid comes back with the ball, but a misplaced delivery to the leg-side of Dhawan gets swept for a boundary. Still, the Afghanistani maintains the pressure on both the DC batsmen -- Dhawan is on 29* and Pant is on 4*. DC: 54/2 (10 overs)

SRH are completely in control again after Dhawan, Iyer posed some threat towards the end of powerplay. Warner's choices of bowlers have really paid off as both Sharma and Rashid have maintained the pressure on the batsmen. DC: 48/2 (9 overs)

After Sharma conceded 8 runs in the last over, Rashid Khan comes into the attack... and instantly comes up with the goods. After duping Iyer (17) on the first ball, he gets his wicket after Iyer's shot lands in the hands of Samad at deep cover. DC: 42/2 (7.2 overs)

Khaleel with the ball, and in the second ball of the over, Iyer (14*) stomps forward and lofts it magnificently over mid-off. He seems to have confidence now. Three singles end the over and the powerplay too. Dhawan is on 18*. DC: 34/1 (6 overs)

Dhawan (17*) and Iyer (5*) have found their groove against an off-form Khaleel now. First, Dhawan sends an overpitched delivery racing to the ropes and then Iyer joins the party hits his first boundary. 12 runs off the over. DC: 27/1 (5 overs)

T Natarajan comes into the attack. Dhawan doubles up his boundary count with brilliant shot over mid-on but that's about it from Delhi. Both Dhawan (12*) and Iyer (1*) are in some pressure here. Can they dig deep and turn things around? DC: 15/1 (4 overs)

And there's the first boundary of the innings, timed to perfection. Bhuvneshwar attacks Dhawan but the veteran opener just lifts it up and sends the ball straight down the ground. The pacer bounces back well and concedes just one more run. DC: 10/1 (3 overs)

Khaleel Ahmed has the ball for the second over. Dhawan hits the first ball carelessly to outside off, but one bounce to the fielder. Iyer and Dhawan regularly rotate the strike in an attempt to form some stability. Just the three runs. DC: 5/1 (2 overs)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar gives SRH a brilliant start with the ball. After three dot balls, a catch opportunity arose but the ball landed in a no man's land. But no worries, fifth ball... a caught behind. Brilliant start by Hyderabad. Shaw walks for 2. DC: 2/1 (0.5 overs)

Kane Williamson's inclusion was a much-needed boost to SRH's struggling middle-order. Hyderabad posted a decent total on the board, can they pick up their first win? Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw open the chase for DC. Here we go!

Wicket again in the final over for Rabada and he gets the big wicket of Kane Williamson. He gives a total of five runs as SRH post 163/4 after 20 overs. Will it be enough?  

Abdul Samad, the debutant, is smashing big and after a four off a top-edge, he gets hold of the final delivery by Nortje. Samad plays it over the long-on fence for a maximum as SRH reach 158/3 after 19 overs. 

Jonny Bairstow's time in the middle comes to an end as Kagiso Rabada picks his first wicket of the night. It was a cross-seam delivery by Rabada, very full and Bairstow tried to play it inside out. However, he fails to time as the ball flies straight to Nortje at the deep mid-off region. He departs after scoring 53. SRH: 145/3 (18 overs) 

Jonny Bairstow steals a double to bring up his 50, with this the pair also add another 50-run partnership. SRH needs the English man to fire big in the last three overs. 

Kane Williamson does what he does best. Perfectly times the ball and finds the gaps as he smashes Anrich Nortje for consecutive fours. Total 11 runs come from the over as SRH reach 128/2 after 16. 

All eyes on Kane Williamson and Jonny Bairstow as SRH add 117/2 after 15 overs, how much more will they add in the remaining five? 

One of Pant's classic from behind the wickets.

Kane Williamson plays one of his immaculate drive, however, only for a single. With this SRH also bring up their 100. With a little over 6 overs to go and Williamson and Bairstow at the crease, how much will SRH add? 

Amit Mishra bags his second of the day and this time it is Manish Pandey, who has to take the long walk to the paviolion. Some unorthodox shot by Pandey and he pays for it. Hits the edge of the bat and flies straight into the hands of Kagiso Rabada at deep mid-wicket. He departs on 3. SRH: 94/2 (12 overs)

Danger, danger, danger! A reverse sweep attempt by David Warner, but he fails to hit the ball as it settles in Rishabh Pant gloves. The young wicketkeeper seems very interested and has asked his skipper to go for the review. TV replay confirms that the ball had hit Warner's gloves on its way and Amit Mishra has provided Delhi Capitals with the first breakthrough. The batsman departs after scoring 45 from 33 balls. SRH: 77/1 (9.3 overs)  

Eight overs are gone and Delhi are yet to break the opening stand between Warner-Bairstow. Normally it would have been a worrying situation for a captain at this stage, but today Delhi won't mind it much. The pair have added 59 runs after eight overs. 

The pair off Warner and Bairstow have stitched a 50-run partnership and slowly things start moving in SRH's direction. How far will this pair go? SRH: 52/0 (7 overs)

Amit Mishra is introduced into the attack.

Another missed opportunity as Bairstow survives once again. The batsman plays it towards mid-on but fails to get the connection he would have wanted. The ball came dying onto Shreyas Iyer, who could just get his fingertips on it. SRH: 38/0 (6 overs) 

The destructive pair of Warner and Bairstow have been kept quiet by the Delhi bowlers, who are not allowing any room for the batsmen to open their arms. Meanwhile, a short delivery by Marcus Stoinis hits Bairstow's pads and there's a huge appeal for LBW and Shreyas Iyer has asked for the review. 

TV replay shows it's a fair delivery and there's no bat ivolved. However, it's umpire's call on hitting the stumps as Bairstow survives. SRH 24-0 (5 overs)  

In the previous match against CSK, Shreyas Iyer had used four different bowlers in the first four overs, however, the plan is not the same tonight. 

A tight over from Ishant as just three runs come from it. SRH reach 17 for no loss after three overs. How much will the pair of Warner and Bairstow will add in the powerplays? 

David Warner and Jonny Bairstow add 14 runs after two overs. Both the batsmen seem in good touch, good news for the SRH fans. 

The players are out in the middle and as usual, David Warner and Jonny Bairstow will kick-off the proceedings for SRH. Ishant Sharma, who is playing his first match of the season, will start the attack for Delhi. 

Our swing messiah has a message for all!

Shreyas Iyer: "We will bowl first, the dew might play a role in the second innings. Our preparations and training has been on point, the frame of mind is good. One change for us - Ishant comes in for Avesh Khan. Each one know their roles in the team well, they have stood up for the cause." 

David Warner: "Not too disappointed with that, we fell short by 20-30 runs, we now have the bowling to defend scores. Two changes for us - KW comes in for Nabi, Samad for Saha. We have our plans for the bowling group, just need to stick to it."

For Sunrisers to do well, they would need to look beyond Warner and Bairstow. The side must click as a batting unit to post its first win of the season on Tuesday.

The 2016 champions replaced the injured Mitchell Marsh with Afghanistan off-spinner Mohammad Nabi, who played a quick cameo with the bat and also bowled an economical spell later.

However, with the batting unit letting them down in both outings, Sunrisers might consider bringing in Kane Williamson, who has recovered from his injury, to provide stability to the line-up. He would be coming in place of Nabi.

Sunrisers spinners led by Rashid Khan continue to impress but the side is lacking an out and out pace bowler who can hit the deck and push the batsman back off a good length. 

For Delhi, the South African pace duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje has looked sharp with the new ball while spinners Axar Patel and Amit Mishra have performed splendidly in the absence of Ravichandran Ashwin. 

In batting, the onus will be on seniors such as Shikhar Dhawan to lay the foundation, and he will have the talented Prithvi Shaw at the top of the order for company.

Rishabh Pant and Iyer have also looked in good nick, after rescuing the team from a spot of bother in the first game, the two pitched in with valuable runs against CSK.

Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has proved he is handy with the willow while Shimron Hetmyer can also compliment the strong batting line up.
