The spin duo of Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav got three wickets in between them and even though Mukesh Kumar got a bit of stick in his second over, he came back in to bowl a fantastic final over and sealed the win for his team. Follow highlights of SRH vs DC from Hyderabad below.
It will be Mukesh Kumar to bowl the last over. Remember he went for 15 runs in his previous over and Delhi will have an extra fielder inside the circle as a penalty for not getting the overs completed on time.
After surviving a dropped chance, Heinrich Klaasen is gone on the next ball of Anrich Nortje. It was bowled at 147 kmph and the batter tried to work it on the off but found the fielder at deep cover. Hyderabad need 18 runs in 8 balls
Mukesh Kumar, who bowled one over before this and conceded seven runs, is brought back into the attack and he is welcomed to the crease with a four! He concedes to more boundaries to end the over. 15 off it, just what Hyderabad wanted. Score after 18 overs, SRH: 122/5
Washington Sundar makes some room and opens the face of the bat to guide Anrich Nortje’s delivery towards third man fence. SRH will be happy with this. The over becomes a productive one as Heinrich Klaasen smashes a six on the fifth ball. 13 off the over. Score after 17 overs, SRH: 107/5
Game Over! Delhi Capitals win! A brilliant last over from Mukesh Kumar despite DC having an extra fielder inside the circle. Hyderabad have failed to chase down a target of 145 and will have a lot to introspect upon. What a final over from Mukesh Kumar under pressure and Delhi have now gone on to win back-to-back games!
