It doesn’t happen often on a cricket field that a team fails to run out a batter and instead concedes a single due to the over-throw. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) did the same as they missed a crucial chance to run out David Warner and the overthrow handed Delhi Capitals (DC) the opportunity to take a single.
SRH started off well against DC as they used the conditions well that were helping the swing bowlers. Earlier in the game, SRH skipper, Kane Williamson won the toss and decided to bowl first citing the dampness in the surface. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Sean Abbott provided them with the opening wickets and DC were reduced to 37/2.

Rishabh Pant came in to bat after that but there was a miscommunication between him and David Warner while running between the wickets from the start and that also handed a run-out opportunity to the opposition.
Sean Abbott was bowling the fifth over of the innings and he bowled a good length delivery to Pant on third ball. The batter pushed it towards mid-off but Aiden Markram moved towards the ball swiftly from cover. Pant first called Warner for a single and then sent him back. Had Markram stopped the ball with his brilliant diving effort he would have caught Warner short of the crease.

However, the ball went out of his reach and Kane Williamson who was fielding at mid-off attempted to hit the stumps with his throw. The SRH skipper missed the throw and it went for over-throw. As a result, both the batters scored a single.
