| Excellent batting display from Hyderabad. After being put into bat on a sluggish track Hyderabad started cautiously as the scored a mere 38 runs during the Powerplay. After seeing off the Powerplay without any damage Bairstow and Warner started opening up as they started to up the scoing rate. Just when it looked like the Hyderabad opening pair would continue to churn out runs Amit Mishra struck to send the Hyderabad skipper back. Soon Manish Pandey followed his skipper and 77/0 became 92/2 in t |
| Delhi once again started their bowling with a plan not giving away freebies to the batsmen and keeping the line and lengths tight. Only three bowlers completed their quota of 4 overs. Rabada and Mishra were the best of the lot as they both took a couple of wickets. Other too complimented them well. Ishant on his first outing was good as all the bowlers ended up conceding at less than 9 runs an over except Anrich Nortje went of 40 in his 4 overs without taking a wicket. In the end, their brillian |
| Rabada is down for an interview. He says that the pitch is two-paced and banginf the ball hard is a good option there. Further he says that the slower balls work here. Ends by saying that the total is a good one and if they bat like Hyderabad did then they would win surely. |
| So the target for Delhi is 163. Can they continue their good form or will Hyderabad get their first win tonight? Join for the chase in a shortwhile. |
