Analysis

Commentary

Another day, another final over thriller in the Indian Premier League. This season is producing one epic encounter after another, and the points table is an indication of the same. There's everything to play for with the games coming in thick and fast throughout. After Warner got the win over his former franchise, Hardik Pandya will be aiming to do the same tomorrow as his Gujarat Titans come up against the Mumbai Indians. Make sure you join us for the coverage of that game. For now, this is Pratyush Rohra, signing off on behalf of my partner Soorya Sesha. Goodnight!

So, the Delhi Capitals manage to make it back-to-back wins and kickstart their campaign. With this win, they're still in last place but more level on points with the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Kolkata Knight Riders on the points table that's starting to take shape, and it looks rather cramped up at the moment. On the other hand, despite plenty of positives tonight, the hosts will be scratching their heads as to how they let this game slip from their grasp.

Axar Patel is the Player of the Match for his all-round display. Here's what he has to say: (What did he enjoy more - his batting or his bowling returns?) 2/24 since I scored 34 in 34 so the two wickets were more important. (On the collapse before he walked out) I had no idea since I had ordered a coffee. I left the glass just like that since I got to know that the team lost three wickets in an over. It was nice to get that partnership since we knew if we score some runs it'll give us a chance. It's still there with the packing (laughs when asked about the coffee). It was a little slow and the ball was stopping. Kuldeep and I bowled like this as a partnership in Delhi as well. I had fun. (The wicket of Agarwal or Markram - which did he enjoy more?) I keep getting batters out bowled but the one I bowled slow to get Mayank out was good.

David Warner (Delhi Capitals captain): It's an amazing crowd, they always come out and support the Sunrisers team. I haven't been here for a while but thank you all for your support, thanks for hanging around. (Tense finish) Thankfully my hair can only get white from here, can't get grey. But this is why we play this game. Mukesh there under pressure was outstanding there so well done to him and the two spinners. I've found that these kind of experienced bowlers are never going to let you down so I thought if I rotate them (the spinners) around it'll work. (On Ishant Sharma) From Day 1 he kept saying 'I'm ready, I'm ready'. Unfortunately he was sick two games before but credit to him. To get back into the IPL and play like that is incredible. To win tonight, hopefully we can make it three in a row and obviously we've got back-to-back games against the Sunrisers so we have to start again. (Does Ponting have fingernails left?) I don't think he was born with fingernails (laughs). Thank you to the crowd again, thank you so much.

Anrich Nortje: Obviously happy to get the win. Not the ideal performance with a few runs short but the bowlers did well. The spinners were great in the middle and even the pacers did the job. (Message at the break) They were saying there's some inconsistency on the good lengths. So that was the message. (Plans at the death) Just try to keep it as simple as possible. I thought I was a little off tonight but thankfully got away with it. (Against Klaasen)I'm not going to lie, the plan wasn't to ball half-volleys but you get a sense of where the batter wants to hit. (Mukesh) He was very clear with the plans and he focused. He took his time and executed it well, that was really inspiring.

Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad captain): We weren't good with the bat again, not enough intent. We'll have to go back and see how we can chase better, and be more free as a unit, and hopefully, that will help us. It's difficult (the result). We want to play a brand of cricket and you can have all that. But ultimately, the guys need to buy into it. We want to play a certain brand of cricket but unfortunately lacked the intent. We've got good players and unfortunately haven't managed to get over the line. (Leading players out of this rut) It's something I enjoy doing but the guys also need to work out what works for them. (Bowlers) Proud of them. They read the conditions well and did a brilliant job tonight. Small bits of positive from there, I suppose.

Match Summary: Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 runs.

Manish Pandey 34 (27) | Axar Patel 2/21 (4)
Mayank Agarwal 49 (39) | Washington Sundar 3/28 (4)

A bowling display that the Delhi Capitals will be chuffed to bits with. They did not have a par total to play with on David Warner's return to Hyderabad but he was determined to make the most of it. His bowlers responded and delivered, as the roar and leap from Warner tells you what this means to him.

With a tough chance going down in the very first over, Mayank Agarwal seemed determined to make the Capitals pay. Returning to the top of the order, he went about timing the ball beautifully to pick the gap and dispatch the scoring opportunities, even as Harry Brook struggled like a cat on a hot tin roof. The Englishman failed to come to terms with the lack of pace on the pitch and perished to a poorly attempted lap shot with Anrich Nortje castling him. It just got worse though with Rahul Tripathi struggling even more as the Sunrisers saw the asking rate creep up steadily.

Agarwal continued to time the ball well even though he also slowed down once the spinners came on. With the asking rate mounting post the halfway mark, he decided to chance his arm and perished in the process. A collapse was on with Warner regularly rotating his bowlers around and reaping rewards to perfection. Tripathi was put out of his misery while Abhishek Sharma chipped one back in tame fashion. When Aiden Markram was castled by Axar Patel, the Sunrisers were staring down the barrel with a string of nagging overs suddenly leaving them with 51 to get off the last four overs.

It was a tall ask with Nortje to bowl two overs at the death. Heinrich Klaasen and Washington Sundar kept the flame shining bright though as they went about picking their spot and using the pace on offer to the fullest. While Klaasen couldn't get the job done, Sundar was still batting well and with 13 needed off the last over, young Mukesh Kumar had a tough task on hand.

But in what was a nerveless display of death bowling, he executed his yorkers to perfection while bowling to his field, ensuring that neither Sundar nor Marco Jansen could put them away to the fence. The Sunrisers paid for their stagnation in the powerplay and middle-overs and eventually, succumbed to their third loss at home in four games this season. Stick around for the presentation...

Mukesh Kumar, you are a hero! Fans of the Delhi Capitals will remember this for a long, long time. That is just top-class execution under pressure to deny the Sunrisers Hyderabad and it's the lowest score successfully defended by the Delhi Capitals in IPL history! Wow!

19.6 Mukesh Kumar to Marco Jansen, TAKE A BOW, MUKESH KUMAR! He sinks to his knees and is swarmed by his teammates as they get over the line for what looked like an improbable victory for most of that game. Ends with the perfect yorker at the off-stump, Jansen jams it out towards mid-off. Delhi Capitals hold their nerve for a crucial 7-run win in a low-scoring thriller!

A legal delivery will do the job here for Mukesh. 8 needed off the last ball!

JUST A SINGLE! How and why didn't they even try running a second?

19.5 Mukesh Kumar to Washington Sundar, keeps it full and straight once more. Sundar sits deep in his crease and pumps it to deep mid-wicket where it's only a single. DC are celebrating already. This should be job done.

9 needed off 2...

This is tremendous nerve under pressure from Mukesh Kumar. SRH need nothing short of two boundaries now to make it a Super Over at the very least.

19.4 Mukesh Kumar to Marco Jansen, can't quite nail the yorker but it's a low full toss on the pads. It's good enough since Jansen can't work it away, flicking it to deep mid-wicket for a single

Long on and mid-wicket are back. Fine leg and third man are up. 10 needed off 3...

Some grins in the Delhi Capitals dugout. They seem rather relaxed. SRH are the ones who need to force something now. This one just has to travel.

19.3 Mukesh Kumar to Washington Sundar, keeps it full and straight. Sundar clears his front leg to drill this to long-on for a single. 10 off 3...

Magnificent yorker from Mukesh! Simply magnificent! 11 needed off 4...
