Hello, Good Afternoon and welcome to my page once again. It was nice game yesterday as there were run feast but SRH slow start not let them reach target in 20 overs and thus loss the match by 21 runs. SRH was favorite to win that match but their poor form continue and DC got good relief after won this match as they are not looks strong contender for the 4th spot of playoffs. Let discuss match in details.
SRH has won the toss, and they choose to bowl first, which all captains do, so there was nothing new in it. Both teams did 3-4 changes which was good as new player got opportunity as some injured and some are fined. Mandeep was out in first over and then soon Marsh too, so it looks ok as SRH did good bowling. Warner has continued his form with bat.
As soon as Pant came, Warner and Pant accelerate inning as Pant scored 3 sixes and four in one over of Gopal but missed next full toss and bowled. It looks like now SRH will not score them freely but poor fielding again as dropped lots of catches of Powell cost them a lot as Powell scored 67 runs with 6 sixes and 3 fours took total command in DC favor. From other side, Warner also played so well as made 94 not out as didn't get a strike in last over. DC made a huge total of 207 runs, which will be very challenging for SRH.
In this big run chase, SRH started so slowly as they lose their opener early and Williamson was not in touch as played very slowly and out by Nortje. It was nice comeback game for Nortje and Khaleel as both did good bowling in power play and not allow them to score. Marsh also went bowling in this match and took the wicket of Tripathi, and it's look SRH in deep trouble.
SRH was on 37/3 in 7 overs where they're chasing 208 runs but then Markram and Pooran build good partnership with scoring sixes in boundaries. Markram was out with slower delivery of khaleel and made 42 runs. From one end wickets keep tumbling but Pooran was kept scoring as dealing in sixes. One stage it looks like pooran will take SRH to the victory, but he was out on full toss which look like No-Ball but not given.
Khaleel did excellent bowling as took 3-30 in his spell which looks to me as turning point. Pooran made 62 of just 32 balls with 6 sixes but unfortunately from losing side. It was a high scoring game as SRH able to manage 186 runs even after slow start, so if they did well maybe the result was different. Warner got Man of The Match Awards for his 94 runs. DC moved to 5th on the point table as played one match less than RCB, but have good NRR. That's it from me for today, and stay tuned for a next post.
