A great bowling effort and equally good fielding have allowed the Delhi Capitals to bowl out Sunrisers Hyderabad for a score of only 163 runs. The hosts picked out at least three catches that are catch-of-the-season contenders. Vipraj Nigam, Jake Fraser McGurk, Axar Patel, and Faf du Plessis took some great catches. Mitchell Starc took a fifer, the first of this season.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are at 161/8 after 18 overs. Mulder: 8* (9), Harshal: 5* (8)
The Sunrisers Hyderabad in spite of having the reputation of having the most explosive batting order find themselves in great trouble batting first in Visakhapatnam. They lost four wickets in the powerplay as the top order never got going. However, Aniket Verma played a great knock making 74 runs in only 41 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are at 149/8 after 16 overs. Mulder: 1* (4), Harshal: 1* (1)

Sunrisers Hyderabad are at 140/7 after 15 overs. Aniket: 67* (38), Mulder: 0* (2)
Aniket Verma seems to be batting at a totally different surface than the rest of his teammates. The 23-year-old has already completed his half-century and has taken Axar Patel to the cleaners in the 15th over. He struck a four on the first ball before hitting two sixes on the trot.
Wiaan Mulder has been named the impact player replacing Travis Head for the SRH. Normally, it would have been Adam Zampa for the Orange Army replacing Head. However, given the state they find themselves in Mulder’s batting would be required to bail them out.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are at 123/7 after 14 overs. Aniket: 50* (34)
Kuldeep Yadav continued his great form at the venue and bowled three overs while going for only 13 runs. He has reaped the rewards of disciplined bowling and already has two wickets next to his name. Along with his economical bowling, the Indian spinner has also picked up the wickets of Abhinav Manohar and Pat Cummins. Delhi Capitals, courtesy of some needless aggressive batting from Sunrisers Hyderabad, found themselves in complete control of this game. They have bowled a few tight overs and have put the visitors under immense pressure.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are at 119/6 after 12 overs. Aniket: 48* (29)
Abhinav Manohar is the latest SRH batter to fall playing a needless aggressive shot. The visitors were in desperate need of rebuilding their innings after the fall of Heinrich Klaasen, but the wicket of Manohar has pushed them further away from getting a respectable total. Given the conditions at the ACA-VDCA Stadium, SRH would need to continue with their aggressive batting in spite of the six wickets that have fallen.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are at 115/5 after 11 overs. Aniket: 47* (28), Abhinav: 1* (1)
