Sunrisers Hyderabad thrive in another run-fest to climb to second
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma were protagonists in a record-breaking PowerPlay performance as Sunrisers Hyderabad breached the 250 run mark for the third time this season, making most of the benevolent batting conditions that Delhi threw up in its first game of IPL 2024. The pair put on a 131 run stand in just 6.2overs before a half-century lower down the order from Shahbaz Ahmed powered SRH to 266/7. Delhi Capitals threatened to run them close with Jake Fraser-McGurk scoring the season’s fastest fifty in his 18-ball 65 but T Natarajan’s career-best figures of 4 for 19 put paid to any such hopes and helped SRH climb to second in the standings with a NRR boost to boot.
Brief scores:
Sunrisers Hyderabad 266/7 in 20 overs (Travis Head 89, Shahbaz Ahmed 59*, Abhishek Sharma 46; Kuldeep Yadav 4-55) beat Delhi Capitals 199 all out in 19.1 overs (Jake Fraser-McGurk 65, Rishabh Pant 44; T. Natarjan 4-19) by 67 runs
