IPL 2020: Shikhar Dhawan's second consecutive century faded in front of the stormy half-century innings of Nicholas Pooran, on which Kings XI Punjab kept their hopes alive after beating Delhi Capitals by five wickets here on Tuesday despite a poor start. With an unbeaten 106 off 61 from Dhawan in excellent form, Delhi won the toss and scored 164 for five wickets. Dhawan hit 12 fours and three sixes, but none other than him reached 20 runs.

The failure of the rest of Delhi batsmen cost him heavily as there was no disturbance in the pitch. In such a situation, despite Chris Gayle (29 off 13 balls), Punjab had lost three of their key batsmen to 56 runs. Puran took over here and scored 53 runs from 28 balls with the help of six fours and three sixes. Glenn Maxwell (32 off 24 balls) also contributed significantly. Punjab scored 167 for five wickets in 19 overs. Delhi's fielding was not good, which Punjab took advantage of. This is Punjab's fourth win in ten matches, taking it to eight points and finishing fifth. Delhi have their third defeat, but are still on top with 14 points.

Punjab also did not have a good start. Captain KL Rahul (15) returned to the pavilion in the third over, playing the wrong shot on Axar Patel. Gayle scored 26 runs in the fifth over of Tushar Deshpande's innings with the help of two sixes and three fours, but Ravichandran Ashwin scattered his balls as soon as he came. Mayank Agarwal (5) was also injured as he was run out in a scuffle with Puran. After this, Puran took over the responsibility. Deshpande's line and length, which had an impact in the last two matches, was not correct. Puran sent Stoinis to the ball for six runs after hitting six and two fours. He hit a four off Rabada to complete his half-century off 27 balls, but the next ball kissing his gloves reached Rishabh Pant. He shared a 69-run partnership with Maxwell.

Now Maxwell had a responsibility. He made his innings easy, but when the team was 18 runs away from the target, he gave a waving catch to Rabada's ball. Rabada took two wickets for 27 runs. Deepak Hooda 15 and James Neesham 10 not out. Neesham scored the winning six over Daniel Symes, who was included in the playing XI in place of Enrich Noortje. Earlier, fast bowlers Mohammad Shami (2 for 28) and spinners Glenn Maxwell (1 for 31), Murugan Ashwin (1 for 33) and Ravi Bishnoi (24 runs from three overs) did not allow the rest of the batsmen to play freely, But he did not have one in front of Dhawan.

Dhawan, who scored an unbeaten 101 against Chennai Super Kings, became the first batsman to score a century in consecutive matches in the IPL. Prithvi Shaw (seven) failed to reach double digits in the fourth consecutive match, while Dhawan scored 50 or more in the innings in the fourth consecutive match. He is the sixth batsman to achieve this feat in the IPL. His timing was accurate and his shots were excellent.

Dhawan hit three fours in Shami's over to put pressure on the bowlers. He also became the fifth batsman to complete 5000 runs in this T20 league with a six imposed on Bishnoi. He completed a century off 57 balls and scored the highest score of his career. Dhawan played this innings while wickets were falling at regular intervals from the other end. Captain Shreyas Iyer (14 off 12 balls) gave his wicket in the prize. Rishabh Pant (14 runs off 20 balls), who recovered from injury, was seen struggling to score as long as he was at the crease. Marcus Stoinis (nine) also failed to support Dhawan in the death overs. Shimron Hetmyer (10) returned to the pavilion on the last ball.

IPL 2020: DC vs SRH: Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Delhi Capitals by 15 runs

 Rashid Khan's triple strike made all the difference for Sunrisers Hyderabad as his team registered its first win of the IPL 2020 campaign against Delhi Capitals.

IPL 2020,Indian Premier League,DC vs SRH,delhi capitals,Sunrisers Hyderabad,Rashid Khan,David Warner,Shikhar Dhawan,Shreyas Iyer,

IPL 2020: Rashid Khan mesmerised along with his spin while David Warner’s captaincy was superb. A slow Abu Dhabi pitch notwithstanding, Sunrisers Hyderabad were defending almost a par total. they had little margin for error, especially after two losses in their first two games. The Rashid-Warner combo helped Sunrisers secure their first win during this IPL. Their victory margin, 15 runs, though, doesn’t tell the entire story.


Sunrisers’ efforts were even more laudable for the very fact that they bowled second and had to counter the dew. From the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar to young Abhishek Sharma, everybody stood up to be counted. But Rashid was the x-factor, while his captain was the mastermind.

Rashid came into the attack in the eighth over. Capitals had a slow start all right, but with Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer at the crease and massive hitters to follow, a steep asking rate was still not a factor. Sunrisers needed wickets. The leg-spinner accounted for Iyer with a tossed-up delivery that he held back a little. The Capitals skipper went for a lofted drive over cover but was beaten in the air. Also, the bat turned in his hand. Sunrisers had the wicket they were trying to find .


Dhawan was counting on the sweep shot to counter the spinners. Rashid removed him with a wrong ’un in his third over, as the batsman was declared out on referral. After three overs, Rashid’s figures read: 3-0-10-2.

The leggie returned to bowl his final over at the death. Rishabh Pant and Marcus Stoinis were batting and also the equation – 49 runs off 24 balls – was still pretty gettable. Pant went for a premeditated sweep, but Rashid had bowled the delivery a tad slower. The left-hander was caught at deep-square by Priyam Garg.

Rashid had only one wicket in the first two matches. On Tuesday, he returned with 3/14 in four overs. Still early days in this IPL, but Sunrisers needed to get their campaign underway.


And his brilliance wasn't restricted to only picking game-turning wickets. Rashid was the reason why Warner could continue with left-arm spinner Sharma against Capitals’ left-handed batsmen. With wickets falling at one end, Capitals batsmen didn’t have the leeway to focus on the youngster.

Warner is the heart of this Sunrisers team. he's yet to get a big score in this tournament but his 33-ball 45 ensured that his team had a decent start after being sent in. When Sunrisers fielded, Warner’s plan choked the opponents. The way he held back Rashid’s final over was excellent. He had a clear plan for his bowlers – attempt to take sixes out of the equation, bowl full and force the batsmen to hit towards the long boundary.


Warner directed his bowlers to focus on the block hole. Left-arm seamer T Natarajan was the best among the Sunrisers bowlers with regards to executing yorkers. Kumar gave the first breakthrough by dismissing Prithvi Shaw within the first over then returned to take the wicket of Shimron Hetmyer. Sunrisers bowlers were bowling to a clear plan, laid out by their skipper. The team’s batting, too, was professional.

Jonny Bairstow scored a half-century. Kane Williamson played a stunning hand, coming in from the cold and a quadriceps injury. Sunrisers had laboured to 38 for no loss at the end of the Powerplay. Only two fours and a six had been hit in the first six overs, both by Warner.


The skipper got out after getting a start and the Sunrisers batting wasn’t finding the desired tempo. Bairstow, too, wasn’t timing the ball well. He fell prey to a mistimed pull off Kagiso Rabada. But Sunrisers didn’t panic.

Even Abdul Samad, who made his IPL debut, swung fearlessly at the death. He connected one pretty well for a six but missed a couple of also . But the young man from Jammu & Kashmir didn’t look struggling . once again, credit to Warner for allowing a debutant to be fearless.

As for Capitals, they're an evolving team. They came into this game after back-to-back wins. But on Tuesday, Sunrisers outplayed them in all three departments. Iyer elected to field because of the dew factor in the second half. He probably misread the pitch. the decision to give Axar Patel only two overs didn’t augur well either. Iyer’s captaincy remains a work ongoing . Warner’s captaincy masterclass must have given him plenty to learn.
