The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) was locking horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. After winning the toss, the SRH skipper, Kane Williamson asked the visitors to bat first. However, the hosts started on a rough note as both their openers, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw, still, they managed to win the game by 39 runs.
During the toss, the DC skipper, Shreyas Iyer revealed that they have made a couple of changes in the squad as Colin Ingram and Rahul Tewatia made way for Colin Munro and Amit Mishra. On the other hand, SRH made as many as four changes in the squad as Mohammad Nabi, Yusuf Pathan, Manish Pandey, and Siddharth Kaul made way for, Williamson, Ricky Bhui, Abhishek Sharma, and Khaleel Ahmed.

Rabada is a STAR! Big win for #DC. Gives fillip to prospects of winning the title. Beating #SRH not easy & on their turf even more difficult. Hyderabad didn’t plan run chase properly. Undecided on how much and who to attack. Also Bhui batting ahead of Shankar?!
