🏏IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 35th Match, Delhi🏏 - Page 54

With the help of this emphatic win Sunrisers Hyderabad move to the number second spot. Their batting has been phenomenal in the tournament and they deserve to be in the top half of the points table at the halfway stage. The SRH boys smashed (277/3) against MI, they belted RCB by scoring (287/3) at the Chinnaswamy and tonight they posted another massive total (266/7) against the Delhi Capitals. Head, Abhishek and Shahbaz destroyed the bowlers in the first innings as the Sunrisers finished with their third highest total of this season. In reply, Shaw and Warner departed early, however, Fraser McGurk and Porel played entertaining knocks to keep the run chase alive. Once they were dismissed, the boundaries dried up, DC lost momentum and Natarajan came back to clean up DC's tail. He was right on the money with his slower deliveries and yorkers tonight. Kuldeep Yadav claimed four wickets earlier in the evening, however, it was Natarajan's four-wicket haul that proved to be the decisive one.

Natu deserves it more

SRH Hyderabad continue to utterly dominate with the bat. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma's 125-run stand in the powerplay blew Delhi Capitals away and pretty much set the result in stone. Sunrisers slowed down, but finished strong. Capitals started strong, scoring 88 in their powerplay, and were going above the required rate after around eight overs. But in the end, that start was too much to recover from. And Sunrisers go second on the table with another win in a high-scoring affair. Jake Fraser-McGurk was incredible for Capitals, though, smashing 65 off 18 while Abishek Porel also impressed with a 22-ball 42. Pant then played an odd innings, and could not get going for the longest time.

Here's what Pant has to say: "[On bowling first] The only thought process behind that was we thought there would be some dew but it didn't come. I thought if we could restrict them to 220-230 we would be in with a chance. [On their bowling] I think powerplay was the difference. We were just catching up throughout the match. That was the massive difference. Hopefully we will come back with more thought process and clear mindset. [On FMCG] He's been batting phenomenal, he is coming nicely for us. That is what you want. Sticking together as a time at the hardest time. We have to look at the areas we can improve and come back in the next game."

yay srh won

ipl 2024 season is sun risers Hyderabad irrespective who wins title

Ipl 2024 will be remembered as srh season

This season belongs to SRH

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: "[On his bowling form] Not among the wickets much but the things I want to do it's happening, the execution is happening. Just a matter of time before the wickets come. [On Natarajan] Amazing. He is a silent worker. Goes unnoticed a lot of times but he's a match-winner."

Rishabh Pant | DC Captain - I think the only thought process behind it was there could be dew which didn't come (on choosing to bowl first), but we would still have had a chance had we restricted them to 220-230. The powerplay was the difference, they got (125) runs and we ended up playing catching up after that. The ball stopped more in the 2nd innings, that was more than we anticipated, but when we needed to chase 260, 270, you'll need to keep scoring. Hopefully, we'll come up with more thought process and a clear mindset going forward. His batting has been phenomenal (on Fraser-McGurk), he's been nice for us, that's what we need to do as a team, be together, look at areas where we can improve going into the next game.

Who will be POTM??

Bhuvneshwar Kumar: "(Rate that bowling performance) When defending those many runs, you either go for plenty or you get wickets. We accepted that we'll go for plenty of runs when defending those many runs, but the plan was to keep executing. (Own form) Feeling good. Not among the wickets but the way I want to execute it is happening. Just a matter of time. (Natarajan's season) Amazing. We know how good he is at yorkers. He keeps working hard, silent guy, goes unnoticed a lot. We know how important he is for Sunrisers. (SRH's batting in 2024 - impressive?) For so many years, this is the first time where our batting is clicking so much. As a bowling unit, happy to take the back seat. They are ruining us (smiles), when we defend 180 or so, it'll feel like less. (They play same way in nets?) Yes, same, especially Head and Abhishek, playing same way. Batters sometimes play opposite in the nets, but they play the same way. (How will the IPL be won - will it be bowling?) Bowling is something .... somebody says batting wins your sponsorship, but bowling wins you championship. The way we are bowling right now looks bad on the scorecard but it is pretty good for us."
