Pat Cummins struck on the very first ball and Karun Nair was dismissed without scoring! A back of the length delivery which zigged past him and found Ishan Kishan for an outside edge delivery was all it took for him to score his maiden duck!

SRH vs DC
SRH and DC have met five times at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, with three victories for SRH while twice being won by Delhi.
An impressive bowling performance by Sunrisers Hyderabad saw them reduce Delhi to 133/7 and keep them alive in their quest for top four positions. Pat Cummins stood out, taking three wickets during the powerplay alone before remaining economical throughout his middle overs spells. Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs provided some resistance.
Vipraj Nigam and Stubbs shared an unbroken 66-run partnership to lead DC from 4-down to 133/7 before an embarrassing mix-up between Vipraj Nigam and Stubbs led to his run out. While going for another run they collided, prompting Zeeshan Ansari’s dismissal – further evidence of Delhi batsmen underperforming.
SRH will take pride in having not lost an away game this season and their record against DC is positive, yet losing this match would eliminate them from playoff contention and qualify them for top four qualification. They must find balance with experienced players like Kane Williamson if they hope to remain in contention.

SRH won the toss and decided to field first. Their top three batsmen quickly fell, but Tristan Stubbs’ unbeaten 41 gave them some hope that a respectable total could still be put up.

Luckily for SRH however, Ashutosh Sharma provided invaluable help by playing an influential knock that put them back on course with 130 runs being scored off only 13 overs!
