SRH vs DC, IPL 2021: Kane Williamson's gritty half-century couldn't save SunRisers Hyderabad the blushes as the middle-order failed again to hand Delhi Capitals their fourth victory in the Super Over.
Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) inept middle-order show foiled their splendid bowling effort as they slumped to yet another in Indian Premier League (IPL), losing Sunday's contest against Delhi Capitals (DC) via Super Over, here. SRH spinners Rashid Khan and Jagadeesha Suchith's tight spells had restricted the DC to 159 for four despite a quick 81-run stand between openers Prithvi Shaw (53) and Shikhar Dhawan (28). However, SRH's over-reliance on their top-order batsmen meant that once skipper David Warner (6) and Jonny Bairstow (38) were dismissed, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was left to anchor the sinking ship. DC are currently placed second with eight points from five games while SRH are seventh with a lone win. With DC packed with proven performers, it was not possible for Williamson (66 not out) to do the job without support from other end. His fighting knock was not enough to take the side home. However, timely hits from Suchith (15 off 6) helped SRH tie the scores and take it to the Super Over.More Related News
