Match Details
So that's goodbye from me, Anurag, and my partner Arjun Bhalla and Akshay Bhide from the comm box. Do join us tomorrow for the IPL fixtures. Till then, Good night and take care!!
And with that, we come to the conclusion of the 33rd match of the 2021 Indian Premier League. Delhi Capitals quite comfortably chase down this minuscule total of 135 with 8 wickets and 13 balls to spare. With this victory, they move to the top spot on the points table overtaking CSK.
A horrible start but a decent end by the Sunrisers to end the innings, putting up a below-par score of 134 on the board. They crumbled at the start, losing Warner for a duck and never really recovered. Saha looked good, but didn't last for long. Williamson was scratchy and his struggle came to an end by Axar Patel after being dropped twice. Manish Pandey couldn't make his start count and so did Jason Holder. Abdul Samad played a short cameo of 28 from 21 balls and so did Rashid Khan to put up something on the board for the bowlers to defend.
The Capitals got a bright start by Shaw and Dhawan but the former fell prey to a slower one from Khaleel in just the 3rd over. The former skipper and Dhawan took matters into their hands and built a steady partnership of 52 runs against a lethal bowling attack. After the departure of Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant walked in and took the game away from the Sunrisers. The former and the current skipper together showed excellent composure on the crease and chase down the total with more than 2 overs remaining.
