IPL 2023 Points Table, Orange Cap, Purple Cap: David Warner-led Delhi Capitals (DC) managed to seize their second win of the ongoing Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 as they defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by seven runs in the final over of the innings. With the win, DC bagged two crucial points and continued their winning run in the league.
It was nothing short of a roller-coaster ride as the game between SRH and DC was unleashed. Delhi Capitals, batting first, was restricted to a sub-par total of 144 runs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. It was Axar Patel (34 runs in 34 balls) again who held his nerve and gave his bowlers at least something to defend.
In response to a low-scoring chase, SRH saw their opening combination once again getting dismissed without providing a decent start. While Mayank Agarwal went on to play 49 runs knock, Harry Brook was dismissed at a score of 7 by Anrich Nortje. SRH didn’t accelerate throughout their innings and kept too many things to do for the final overs.
The intent and strike rate from the players became an issue as DC kept squeezing the runs in the middle overs of the chase. Wicketkeeper batter Heinrich Klassen scored the first maximum of the innings in the 17th over and tried to accelerate the innings as the required run rate was climbing, but perished at a score of 31 off 19.
In the end, Washington Sundar looked determined to take SRH home, but he lacked support from the other end and the hosts fell seven runs short to give DC their second win of the season.
