The middle overs were dominated by the Hyderabad bowlers, with Siddharth Kaul and Rashid Khan leading the effort. Steve Smith’s 34 of 25 balls provided much needed runs and took the Capitals to a decent total of 159/4 at the end of 20 overs.
In return, The Sunrisers got off to an explosive start thanks to Jonny Bairstow’s 38 of 18 deliveries.

Key contributions were from Avesh Khan, with his 3/34, and Azar Patel, with figures of 2/26. A late flourish by Kane Williamson, who was the top scorer for the Sunrisers with his 66 from 51 balls, brought the game to a thrilling super over by tieing the game at 159/7 in 20 overs.
The Sunrisers took batting first and scored just 7 runs even with in-form batsman like Kane Williamson and David Warner. Rishabh Pant scored the winning runs easily and gave the win to Delhi.
