Kane Williamson and Jason Holder have kept Sunrisers Hyderabad in the hunt after the loss of three early wickets. The pair have added 31 runs in 5 overs but the run rate have mounted up for Hyderabad and they need one of these two players to play the big shots.

OUT! Marcus Stoinis has now struck for Delhi Capitals and Priyam Garg has to go back. Another full delivery does the trick for DC. Stoinis rolled his fingers over the ball and so Garg had played his shot even before the ball reached him and lost his off stump. Priyam Garg b Stoinis 17(12) 

OUT! Kagiso Rabada strikes with his first ball and gets the big wicket of David Warner. This was a full inswing yorker from Rabada outside the leg-stump and it completely bamboozled warner who missed the length and saw his stumps shattered. Warner b Rabada 2(3)

Delhi Capitals have posted 189/3 in 20 overs after captain Shreyas Iyer elected to bat first. Shikhar Dhawan was the top scorer for Delhi with 78 runs from 50 deliveries which comprised of six boundaries and two maximums.

Wicket: Shikhar Dhawan goes back after a fine knock. Dhawan departs for 78 off 50 deliveries.

Wicket: Shreyas Iyer goes back trying to up the ante and Jason Holder gets his first wicket of the match. Delhi Capitals have lost their second wicket. Iyer was struggling to find the boundaries and was dropped in the previous ball by Kane Williamson at covers.
