Highlights, IPL 2021 DC vs SRH Full Cricket Score: DC thump SRH by 8 wickets

23:19 (IST)

That's it from us as well. DC dominated the game from ball number one and SRH never looked like coming back into it. They need to look at their team combinations. They look virtually out of the league. DC, what a team. A special effort with the ball before the batters did the job with eight wickets in hand. Orange Cap for Dhawan. 422 runs in 9 games. 

Williamson got the call wrong at the toss. He said, at the end of the match, it is important to keep the chin up and enjoy the games ahead. Losing early wickets hurt their chances, he said. 

SRH continue to languish at the bottom while DC are flying at the top.

22:36 (IST)

After 14 overs,Delhi Capitals 96/2 ( Shreyas Iyer 36 , Rishabh Pant (C) (W) 7)

22:17 (IST)

After 10 overs,Delhi Capitals 69/1 ( Shikhar Dhawan 41 , Shreyas Iyer 17)

22:05 (IST)

After 8 overs,Delhi Capitals 51/1 ( Shikhar Dhawan 32 , Shreyas Iyer 8)

Finally we see Sandeep Sharma with the ball. Saha has come upto the stumps. That means he will be slower and straighter. One can question why such a brilliant swing bowler is brought on so late with this plan in place. But before that, let's see how he fares here in this role. Did trick Dhawan once in this over with a lovely slower. Six off the over. Time out called.

21:59 (IST)

21:46 (IST)

After 4 overs,Delhi Capitals 27/1 ( Shikhar Dhawan 13 , Shreyas Iyer 3)

Change in bowling as Jason Holder comes in to bowl. Top shot from Dhawan in the over, stamping his authority in the chase. Two balls later, he stepped put to play another shot on the off side but hit it straight to the fielder. Seven off the over. 

21:45 (IST)

After 2 overs,Delhi Capitals 12/0 ( Prithvi Shaw 3 , Shikhar Dhawan 9)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar, right arm medium fast, to bowl from the other end. Two boundaries in the over for Dhawan in contrasting fashion. First a flick for four, other a mistimed shot for a boundary down the ground. Dhawan won't mind as he got off to a shaky start but the boundaries will give him confidence going further into this chase. Eight off the over.

21:35 (IST)

FOUR! Dhawan dances down the track and plays it straight but mistimes, yet the ball beats the mid on fielder and runs away for four runs

21:33 (IST)

21:16 (IST)

After 20 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 134/9 ( Bhuvneshwar Kumar 5 , )

DC restrict SRH to 134/9! A comical last over. Avesh didn't get his lines right to start off. There were a couple of wides off the first two balls. Bhuvneshwar then lofted one over extra cover for a four. Avesh then went yorker length and conceded just two singles. Avesh then goes very full, Rashid whips it to long on and then gets run out in trying to take a non existent second. Pant could have had a run out off the next ball as Sandeep Sharma swung but missed and run through for a bye but Pant missed his direct hit. But off the next ball, he hit the bull's eye as Sandeep Sharma was run out off the final ball trying to run through for a bye. 9 runs and two wickets off it.

21:12 (IST)

A couple of run outs!

OUT! Rashid is Run out! Rashid whips it to long on, takes a single and then sets for a non-existent second. There is a bit of hesitation from Bhuvneshwar but they decide to go through. Smith shows good awareness and throws it to the keeper who clops the bails off.

21:04 (IST)

SIX! Hammered! Short outside off from Rabada, Rashid slashes it over point.

21:03 (IST)

OUT! That slower bouncer does the trick. Samad had hit a four off the previous ball, it was also a slower ball and he might have been looking for a full ball but Rabads bangs it short, Samad goes for a pull but top edges it and Pant makes no mistake.

21:02 (IST)

After 18 overs,Sunrisers Hyderabad 111/6 ( Abdul Samad 24 , Rashid Khan 11)

A brilliant spell from Nortje - 4-0-12-2. He ramped up good pace in the over and troubled the batters. Rashid is beaten by the pace off three deliveries in that over as he looked to smash them. The rest three yielded just four runs combined. 

20:59 (IST)

Nortje back on...

Samad was trying hard to connect powerful shots but they were just not coming off the middle. He swung one straight to mid wicket and then pulled one straight to long on. Rashid then punched one to mid off. Avesh bowled length and very full deliveries. He however bowled that NO ball and ended up conceding 10 from the over.
