Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Highlights And Cricket Score 30th Match - T20 Commentary
So, the ball very much in Hyderabad's court as things stand. But, if Delhi somehow manage to get a couple of early wickets, they could make this really interesting. Because, as we all know, the hosts' middle order hasn't performed like their openers have. Will be intriguing to see how it pans out. The second half will begin shortly.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar gives a quick interview. Says that he's happy to contribute to the team. Adds that it's always tough coming back from injury and he has prepared well for the tournaments to come. Mentions that it was a much-needed break for them in this fast-paced tournament. On the total, Kumar replies that it's a good score to chase but they need to bat well too. Ends by praising Khaleel Ahmed for his bowling.
Delhi will feel they haven't got much on the board. The surface looks a decent one to bat on and maybe they've fallen about 20 runs short. The tourists didn't get off to a good start, but regained some momentum with Munro and Iyer knocking the ball around. After the former's dismissal, Iyer took the mantle up with Pant, who were going along well, but both were dismissed in quick succession and at the wrong time, as they needed to go big after their 50-run stand. That took the momentum away from them and let Hyderabad gain the upper hand.
13 runs off the final over for Delhi, but even then this might not be enough. After electing to bowl, Hyderabad have been on top, at least for the major part of the innings. They got a couple of early wickets, and despite there being a couple of solid stands from the middle order, they never let them run away much and leak too many runs. They picked up wickets at regular intervals and restricted the visitors to a decent total. Khaleel starred with the ball on his return to the side, with a 3-wicket haul, while Bhuvneshwar, who was slightly expensive, took 2 for himself.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Kagiso Rabada. Back of a length on leg, cramps the batsman for room. Rabada makes room and pulls but only as far as deep mid-wicket for a single. DELHI FINISH WITH 155/7!

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Keemo Paul. OUT! That's dead plumb. Bhuvneshwar comes back with an excellent yorker. Fires it on middle stump, Paul looks to dig it out but it's just too good for him. Is caught on the back pad flush in front of the stumps. No trouble for the umpire to raise his finger.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Keemo Paul. SIX! That's a fine hit. Paul expects this to be a little short, so he sits on the back foot and muscles the heave deep into the wide long on stands.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Axar Patel. No ball! Is it for overstepping? No. There were three fielders inside the ring. Oh, dear. Full toss on the stumps, Patel works it towards wide mid on. Two runs are taken. Free Hit coming up now...

Dipping yorker which Pant takes on the full, gets low and looks to clear long on. Isn't in any control of the shot though and hands a simple catch to Deepak Hooda coming in from the deep. This isn't looking good for Delhi, they need a big finish.

It's the change-up once more, Kumar bowls it short and this time Iyer looks to play the ramp shot. Can only manage an edge, however, as it goes behind and Bairstow takes his third catch of the innings. Partnership of 56 is broken. Delhi would have wanted these two to finish the innings.

Strategic break. The going has been a bit slow from Delhi after losing Colin Munro but the current pair has the ability to up the scoring ante. Five more overs to go and Delhi will try to push their score close to 180, at least. Hyderabad have bowled decently so far and have the overs of Bhuvneshwar (2), Khaleel(1), Sandeep(1) and Rashid(1) left to bowl at the death. Expect a good battle between bat and ball. Bhuvi is into the attack now after the mini-break.

Sandeep Sharma to Shreyas Iyer. A slower delivery, full and on the pads at 112.6 kph, Shreyas knocks it down to long on for a couple of runs. 50-run stand comes up, it has taken 41 balls to come! Surely, this pair would like to better this one.

We are ready to get this underway. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan, who returns to his former home, stride into the middle. Bhuvneshwar Kumar will take the ball first up. Here we go...
Delhi XI - Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Colin Munro (in for Colin Ingram), Shreyas Iyer (C), Rishabh Pant (WK), Chris Morris, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra (in for Rahul Tewatia), Keemo Paul, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma.
Hyderabad XI - David Warner, Jonny Bairstow (WK), Kane Williamson (C) (in for Mohammad Nabi), Vijay Shankar, Ricky Bhui (in for Manish Pandey), Deepak Hooda, Rashid Khan, Abhishek Sharma (in for Yusuf Pathan), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Sandeep Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed (in for Siddarth Kaul).
Shreyas Iyer says he's pleased with his team's performance as they have two away wins. Adds that they just have to believe in their ability. States that they've talked that whoever is the set batsman, he has to stick in and score big. Let's everyone know there are two changes as Colin Munro and Amit Mishra replace Colin Ingram and Rahul Tewatia.
Kane Williamson says they will bowl first. Laughs and states that he didn't have much about the choice as Shreyas Iyer called it wrong. Adds that both teams are strong so is looking forward to the match. On his injury, mentions that it's better now and he's ready to go. Reckons that they always enjoy playing here and adds that despite the varying surfaces, he doesn't mind. Informs that there are four changes - he himself is in, along with Ricky Bhui, Abhishek Sharma and Khaleel Ahmed for Mohammad Nabi, Manish Pandey, Yusuf Pathan and Siddarth Kaul.
TOSS - Hyderabad win the toss and opt to field! A good call from Williamson? The team chasing has won the last 10 games in this season. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
The Warner-Bairstow duo has been the key for Hyderabad, but it's no coincidence that the few times they failed to deliver, the team has suffered. Their middle order is largely untested still and it might just be called into action once again in this contest. Delhi are looking good, with Shikhar Dhawan finding some much-needed form as well. Combine that with their potent bowling attack and skipper Shreyas Iyer's good touch, and the visitors just might cause problems for the home side. Should be a fun game. The toss and team news coming up soon...
Hello and welcome for Match 30. Things are poised quite interestingly in the midfield battle. We're around the halfway mark of the season and there's a huge clutter in the points table. With Rajasthan and Bangalore both picking up wins in their respective last games, it's tight in there. Hyderabad are 6th in the table with 6 points, but the three teams above them are on 8 points, having played at least a game more. Delhi gained some confidence with a win against Kolkata last time out and come into this game with the momentum, where the hosts suffered a defeat against Ravichandran Ashwin's Punjab.
We're done with this one, but Indian T20 League action continues. Next up, on Monday, we have Mumbai welcoming Bangalore to the Wankhede Stadium at 2000 local (1430 GMT). Do join in for that one. Goodnight and take care!
Man of the Match, Keemo Paul says that it is a dream come true for him and thanks everyone for the support. On playing the Indian T20 League, Paul says that it is the biggest league in the world and he just wanted to enjoy it. On his slower deliveries, Keemo says that the back-of-the-hand deliveries came out pretty nicely and it was all about adjusting to the pitch and the conditions. Regarding his batting and the big six that he hit, KP says that he enjoys his batting. Ends by thanking everyone who supported him to get to this level.
Delhi skipper, Shreyas Iyer says that he and Rishabh Pant had decided that they will try to stick around for as long as possible and one of them will take charge due to the slowness of the surface. Mentions that Axar Patel and Keemo Paul's cameos helped them get to a fighting total. Ends by saying that they have good team spirit and wants his side to continue having that.
Kagiso Rabada says that they had a game plan and they just stuck to it and hoped it to go their way. On his variations, Rabada replies that it's been a trend so far and you have to vary your pace to succeed in this part of the world. Lauds Keemo Paul and Chris Morris for doing a brilliant job. On the leadership role in the squad, Rabada thinks and says that he has the responsibility on his shoulders and he just wants to do his best and do everything for his team. Talking about his catches, Rabada mentions that you have to do your best and also tells that they are working hard in all the departments.
Hyderabad skipper, Kane Williamson says that their bowlers did a great job but admits that they didn't get going in the second half. Terms it as an unfortunate performance and credits Delhi for playing well. Mentions that there is no room for complacency in this tournament and feels that they didn't execute their plans well. States that Delhi adapted well to the demands of the surface and used their change of pace to good effect.
Delhi will be mighty pleased with this performance. They only had a decent score to defend, so execution was key. Bairstow and Warner's start would have put most teams off, but when you have the likes of Rabada, Morris and Paul in the team, anything is possible. These three bowlers shared the 10 wickets between them. Paul kicked things off getting Bairstow and Williamson, then Rabada and Morris cleaned house in the death overs. Paul finished with 3 along with Morris, while Rabada got 4 to his name.
A great performance from Delhi. No better way to sum it up. This could be one of the best bowling displays in the history of the competition. Three consecutive defeats on the bounce for the hosts. Chasing 156, Warner and Bairstow once again got their side off to a good start, adding 72 between them before the Englishman departed. What followed was unimaginable. From 101/2 in the 16th over, they got bundled out for 116 before the 19th over even ended. Barring the two openers, nobody even got into double figures. A truly astonishing fact.
Kagiso Rabada to Khaleel Ahmed. OUT! Take a bow, Kagiso Rabada. He's wrapped Hyderabad up before the game even goes into the final over. Fires an accurate yorker on the stumps, Khaleel can't do much about it. The furniture behind is rattled and that's the end of this contest. DELHI WIN BY 39 RUNS!
Khaleel Ahmed is the last man in.
Kagiso Rabada to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. OUT! Rabada has his third of the night. Will Hyderabad even survive the 20 overs? A short ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar backs away and tries to slap it. But it goes off the top edge and Rabada runs to the ball at the striker's end and takes it himself, just about avoiding Pant who also comes in to take the catch.
