Mitchell Starc was the star of the show for Delhi Capitals as they put on a brilliant bowling performance, destroying Sunrisers Hyderabad’s strong batting lineup and keeping them to just 163 runs. When it was DC’s turn to chase, Faf du Plessis went all out, smashing a rapid 50 off just 27 balls. KL Rahul, playing his first game for the Capitals, couldn’t do much with the bat, but that didn’t matter in the end. Delhi completely outplayed Hyderabad and secured a dominant win.
Hyderabad is now in seventh place on the points table with two points from two games, while Delhi Capitals is in second place with four points.
