DC vs SRH, IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad powers past Delhi Capitals in a run-fest
The HinduJake Fraser-McGurk, the young Australian sensation, played a blinder to give Delhi Capitals slim hopes of a miraculous chase. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, the southpaw spin twins, pulled things back to get the home team back in the Indian Premier League’s maiden game of the season here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. But Sunrisers’ leftie quartet of Travis Head, his partner at the top Abhishek Sharma, allrounder Shahbaz Ahmed and pacer T. Natarajan ensured Hyderabad broke into top two with a facile 67-run win. Despite Kuldeep and Axar striking four times in the 18 balls, Shahbaz along with Nitish Kumar Reddy ensured Sunrisers ended the innings on a high to post a daunting 266 for seven. Delhi Capitals’ Jake Fraser-McGurk recorded fastest fifty of IPL 2024 in 15 balls.
