He felt that towards the back end, the pitch was getting better. Also, there's a bit of rain about. Finally, on the dismissal of KL Rahul, he says you need to keep a few tricks up your sleeve, including mixing up your angles.

So, 134 runs is the target for Sunrisers to clinch their fourth victory of the season. Delhi Capitals face a stern test; failing to defend this score could jeopardize their standing in the points table. The onus is on their new-ball bowlers to set the tone, with DC placing their faith in ace pacer Mitchell Starc. But as we see on the screen, the covers are making an appearance due to a slight drizzle in Hyderabad. Nothing torrential, let's hope it's just a passing shower that clears up quickly. Stay tuned!

We're joined now by SRH's Jaydev Unadkat. He tells us that the game plan from the first over was to bowl into the pitch. He adds that they stuck to the same basic strategy at the death, but mixed things up, and getting key wickets when it mattered most was vital. He also feels the pitch improved towards the end, and there were a few drops of rain. Let's hope spin doesn't factor in too much. On dismissing KL Rahul, Unadkat says you need to have a few tricks up your sleeve, including changing the angle.

That partnership proved crucial in steadying the ship and, more importantly, injected some much-needed momentum into DC's stuttering innings. Considering their precarious position at the halfway mark, that late surge was desperately needed, culminating in a solid 66-run stand. Granted, it's still below a par score, but anything above a run-a-ball gives the bowlers something to bowl at.

The heart of the Capitals' batting order was ripped out as Axar Patel and KL Rahul fell in quick succession. With the innings in tatters, Tristan Stubbs was left to salvage what he could. Ashutosh Sharma joined Stubbs as the Impact Sub, bringing a much-needed injection of intent, in a valiant attempt to put something resembling a defendable total on the board.

Delhi Capitals were thrown into immediate damage control as Pat Cummins' deadly opening spell saw their top three batters dismissed in the blink of an eye. The SRH pacers consistently exploited that back-of-a-length area, getting good assistance from the pitch. With momentum firmly in the home side's corner, the visitors limped to a disastrous 26/4 by the end of the Powerplay, well and truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

ℹ️MATCH INFO

A spirited fightback from Delhi Capitals in the latter stages has helped them edge past the 130-run mark. 47 runs came from the last five overs, which isn't a mountain by any means, but considering how DC were struggling, with even reaching three figures looking improbable, it will provide them with some comfort. Overall, a superb performance from the SRH bowlers, who were on the money throughout and maintained their dominance.

WICKET! CAUGHT! Malinga strikes! That's clever bowling! He takes the pace off, digs it in shortish outside off, and Ashutosh Sharma, trying to manufacture a pull shot, just couldn't get on top of the bounce! It skies up towards deep mid-wicket, and Abhinav Manohar pouches a comfortable catch! A fine, belligerent innings of 41 off 26 balls comes to an end!

A real headache if, and when, the rain finally gives way. Now, a typical innings takes 3 hours and 20 minutes.

If this match is washed out, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be knocked out of playoff contention, as their maximum possible points tally would be 13. From Delhi Capitals' perspective, considering their recent form, they might find some solace in salvaging a point from a washout, given the total they've managed to put on the board.

So, 134 is the target for Sunrisers to notch their fourth victory of the season. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, face a Herculean task. A failure to defend this modest total could seriously jeopardize their position in the points table. It all hinges on their new-ball bowlers getting off to a flier, and for that, DC will be relying on their pace spearhead, Mitchell Starc. But uh oh! The covers are coming on – a slight drizzle has arrived in Hyderabad. It's not a heavy downpour by any means, and let's hope it's just a fleeting shower. Stay tuned!

The ball skies towards deep mid-wicket, where Abhinav Manohar takes a comfortable catch. A fine, fighting innings from Sharma comes to an end – he departs for 41 off 26 balls!
