Stoinis out!

Is it game over for DC? 

Stoinis lbw b T Natarajan 11(9) [4s-1]

Pant out!

Big wicket for the SRH! Did Rashid Khan just hand a win to Warner? Not yet! Stoinis is still out there. 

Pant c Priyam Garg b Rashid Khan 28(27) [4s-1 6s-2]

Hetmyer out!

Wicket!! Just when DC looked in the game, Bhuvi gets a huge wicket. Who comes next? Oh no, it is Stoinis! 

Hetmyer c Manish Pandey b Bhuvneshwar 21(12) [6s-2]

DC dealing with sixes here

Consecutive sixes for DC. First Pant, now Hetmyer. DC could make a comeback here. 

DC 104/3 (15)  CRR: 6.93  REQ: 11.8
Delhi Capitals need 59 runs in 30 balls

Delhi need a big over

The required run rate is above 12. And it is not a pretty chase-like scenario for the Capitals. However, IPL is all about comebacks. Can Pant stage a comeback? 

DC 78/3 (13 overs) CRR: 6  REQ: 12.14

Delhi Capitals need 85 runs in 42 balls

Dhawan gone!

WICKET! Rashid Khan has done it again. It has been a night for the spinners but Khan has been the best among them. Well the required run rate is shooting up and Delhi Capitals. They are not scoring and are losing wickets. They must be terribly missing Rahane here.  Dhawan c Bairstow b Rashid Khan 34(31) [4s-4]

What an over by Rashid Khan

Just one run and a wicket off it. The required run rate shoots to 10 per over. DC desperate for good overs now. 

DC 43/2 (8 overs) CRR: 5.38  REQ: 10

Delhi Capitals need 120 runs in 72 balls

Shreyas out!

Shreyas Iyer c Abdul Samad b Rashid Khan 17(21) [4s-2] The skipper departs. This is a big wicket for Sunrisers and Rashid Khan delivers in his first over. 

DC clawing back

Despite losing the wicket early, Shikhar Dhawan racking up some shots and is keeping the Capitals in the game. 

DC: 5/1 (2 overs)

5 runs off two overs. Exactly the start Warner must have wanted. SRH right now have better chanced to win the game. However, they will want to get rid of Iyer and Dhawan too as they will get dangerous as the game progresses. 

Ideal start for SRH

Just two runs off the first one and a big wicket! Bhuvneshwar Kumar begins in the best possible way. 

Prithvi Shaw c Bairstow b Bhuvneshwar 2(5) 

First innings comes to a close

Decent finish by Sunrisers Hyderabad. They might be short by 10-20 runs, but hey! It is IPL and anything can happen. 

SRH: 162/4 (20 overs)

Bairstow out!

WICKET! Bairstow departs! Rabada strikes! Didn't get any timing whatsoever and absolutely sent this straight up and gives an easy catch to Nortje. Bairstow c Nortje b Rabada 53(48) [4s-2 6s-1]

50 for Bairstow

Fifty for Bairstow and also the 50-run stand with Williamson. Bairstow has been soft tonight. Not many boundaries today. 

Three overs to go!

SRH 140/2 (17) CRR: 8.24

Bairstow needs one run to score 50. But more than that SRH require to score the most out of these three overs. 

Strategic timeout

Williamson and Bairstow looking good with the bat. Bairstow nears half-century. Williamson's cameo might power SRH to a competitive total .170+ score will make the orange army happy. 

Rabada yet to bowl his overs, he might restrict SRH to a low score. 

SRH 128/2 (16) CRR: 8

Mishra gets second!

Another blow for SRH! Amit Mishra gets the wicket. Pandey did not connect well and gave an easy catch to Kagiso Rabada. Manish Pandey c Rabada b Mishra 3(5) Poor shot from Pandey. Former SRH skipper Kane Williamson walks out to bat. 

Warner out!

Mishra gets the breakthrough! Big blow for SRH as the skipper departs. Review overturns the decision. 

Warner c Pant b Mishra 45(33) [4s-3 6s-2] Pandey walks in to bat. 

Running between the wickets

The opening pair running well between the wickets, but these humid conditions might tire them soon too. 7 runs off the over. 

SRH: 59/0 (8 overs)

Strategic timeout

Decent start from SRH here. Warner and Bairstow were too slow in the beginning but now are finding the right length here. 50 partnership comes up for the opening pair. Back-to-back good overs will shoot up the run rate for the Sunrisers. 

SRH: 52/0 (7 overs) CRR: 7.43

Finally a good over for SRH

SRH 38/0 (6 overs) CRR: 6.33

Spin Wizard Amit Mishra comes in. 

Good bowling by DC

Great discipline showed by DC bowlers. Almost five overs done and just one boundary. It is a T20I match. Still is. 

DC bowlers restricting SRH

Lack of boundaries now might backfire SRH in later stages. 

SRH 17/0 (3 overs) CRR: 5.67

Match underway

Warner-Bairstow off to a decent start! Ishant Sharma looks promising and can play a vital role for Delhi tonight.

SRH: 9/0 (1 over)
