Going against the usual tradition, Aiden Markram opted to bat first after winning the toss. Fortunately, his troops backed his decision as SRH put up an above-par total of 198/6 in the first innings.

Youngster Abhishek Sharma set the tone well upfront. He took on the DC pacers and clobbered 12 boundaries en route to his 36-ball 67.

The SRH innings progressed from that point on thanks to Klassen, who took just 25 balls to reach his fifty. He finished up with a 27-ball 53* and struck at a handsome strike-rate of 196.3.

Marsh was the pick of the bowlers for the hosts, returning with his career-best figures of 4/25.

DC needed a great start as they had to chase down 198 to win. However, they suffered a significant setback when David Warner was dismissed for a duck in the first over.

Then, in a swift counterattack, Phil Salt and Mitchell Marsh added 112 runs in just 66 balls. The first player to get to his fifty was Salt, who scored 59 runs off just 35 balls in his innings.

Marsh then amassed a 39-ball 63 to put DC in a commanding position. Incredibly, the Australian all-rounder clobbered as many as six lusty maximums and just a solitary four.

DC held the advantage and needed to bat prudently to secure their third straight victory. But just inside the next 32 runs, they lost five wickets in a game-changing batting collapse.

All SRH bowlers, barring Umran Malik, shared wickets amongst them as the visitors eventually restricted the hosts to 188/6 and won the entertaining fixture by nine runs.

A match that saw a total of 385 runs scored between SRH and DC also saw a slew of records broken. Here's a list of some interesting stats to emerge from this IPL 2023 match:

  1. As mentioned earlier, Mitchell Marsh bagged a four-wicket haul before hitting a fabulous half-century in the second innings. In doing so, he has now become the first-ever overseas player to achieve the feat of scoring a fifty and bagging a four-wicket haul in a losing cause in an IPL game. The only Indian to do so was Yuvraj Singh.
  2. David Warner had a day to forget with the bat on Saturday. He was dismissed on a two-ball duck against SRH. Unfortunately for him, the DC skipper now has the joint-most ducks in a DC shirt. It was his seventh IPL duck for Delhi, making him join Prithvi Shaw and Virender Sehwag on the list.
