Delhi Capitals have strengthened their chances for the playoffs as they have sealed the 8-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad. 

Delhi Capitals are on a road to an easy win as Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant are blazing guns for the side. With this, they are on their way to qualifying for the playoffs. 

Despite being down by a couple of wickets, Shreyas Iyer has continued to attack and Delhi Capitals now requires 50 runs from 42 balls to win the match. Rishabh Pant is batting from the other end. 

Shikhar Dhawan was just eight runs away from scoring a half-century. Leg break does the trick for Dhawan he gets caught in the deep. Quite an easy picking for Abdul Samad. Dhawan OUT on 42 runs.

Shikhar Dhawan was just eight runs away from scoring a half-century. Leg break does the trick for Dhawan he gets caught in the deep. Quite an easy picking for Abdul Samad. Dhawan OUT on 42 runs. 

So Dhawan and Iyer are blazing guns for the team. Both have built a 40-run partnership so far after the fall of the first wicket. Dhawan is batting on 33 whereas, Iyer is on 16. 

So Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals were almost going neck-to-neck before a SIX slammed by Shreyas Iyer. As of now Dhawan and Iyer are batting for Delhi Capitals. The two are proving to be the game changers after an early wicket. 

Just when we thought that Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan were blazing guns for the side, we had Khaleel Ahmed who provided a breakthrough. He bowled shot and Shaw mistimed the same. Williamson grabbed a stunning catch to dismiss Shaw.

Check out the video below:

Khaleel Ahmed is starting the bowling for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw are the openers for the Delhi Capitals. One run taken on the first ball and a couple of dots bowled. Single again and a dot. Two runs at the end of the over. 

So after collapsing wickets, it was Abdul Samad who stood tall for the team. he scored 28 runs. They could manage to put up a target of 135 runs on the board. 

Kagiso Rabada gets his third wicket in the form of Abdul Samad on the score of 28 runs. Post this, Rashid Khan slammed a SIX and FOUR. 

Abdul Samad had stood tall amid collapsing wickets of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Abdul Samad just slammed a SIX to take SRH to a triple-digit mark. 

Just when we thought that there would be a partnership between Jason Holder and Abdul Samad, Axar Patel stood tall and broke their partnership. Each time Axar Patel is asked to bowl, he manages to break the partnership. Holder OUT on 10. 

Yet another setback for the Sunrisers Hyderabad as Kedar Jadhav departs. Pitched in-line and impact on the stumps. Kedar Jadhav LBW on 3. Review goes in favour of DC.

Another day, the same story as Delhi Capitals bowlers are on a hunt. This time it was Kagiso Rabada who removed Manish Pandey. Bowls a short one and traps Pandey who gets OUT on 17 runs. 

SRH continues to struggle as they have Kane Williamson making his way to the pavilion. He got dropped twice during the game and but couldn't get lucky on the third occasion. Williamson OUT on 18. 

So Marcus Stonis has left the field after twisting his ankle while bowling. We wait for further more developments. 

Fortunately, SRH has not lost a single wicket so far in these overs. Kane Williamson and Manish Pandey are ye ones batting for the team. For now, the match is a bit slow in terms of the run flow. 

Here's a benchmark that Wriddhiman Saha has had for himself. He brought up 2,000 runs in the IPL for himself with a monstrous SIX! But his stint on the field did not stay for a long time as Kagiso Rabada sends him to the pavilion. Saha mistimes the shit and gets caught by Shikhar Dhawan in the circle. THIGH-FIVE celebrations for Dhawan. Saha OUT on 17.
