Excellent batting by the Kiwi maestro. He has smashed some big sixes here in Abu Dhabi and SRH would want him to bat till the end. Sunrisers Hyderabad need 66 runs in 33 balls
Hyderabad in trouble, go 4 down
WICKET! Axar Patel gets the big wicket of Jason Holder. The Windies all-rounder wanted to tonk it hard but Axar made fine adjustment to increase a bit of pace which caught Holder by surprise. Pravin Dubey takes a comfortable catch. SRH 95/4 (12)

Manish Pandey and young Priyam Garg have gone about their business at a steady flow despite losing David Warner early. They are bagging the needed boundaries while constantly rotating the strike.
Rabada cleans up Warner for cheap
WICKET! Kagiso Rabada strike in his first delivery of the evening. An in-swinger to Warner as the ball strikes his pads to hit the stumps. A brilliant start for Delhi Capitals. Warner b Rabada 2(3)

A new opening pair for Sunrisers Hyderabad as David Warner and Priyam Garg start the 189-run chase.
Delhi post 188/3 in 20 overs

WICKET! Sandeep Sharma gets the better of Dhawan as the ball traps the southpaw plumb in front of the stumps. He doesn't even bother to discuss about the DRS and walks straight towards the dugout. Dhawan lbw b Sandeep Sharma 78(50)
Shikhar Dhawan show in Abu Dhabi
Shikhar Dhawan has been excellent this evening. He is batting at 76 now and can very well reach the 100-run mark in what will be his third century in IPL 2020. DC 176/2 in 18 overs.
Iyer gone!!
The skipper departs! He has had a poor season. Hardly converted this season. Shreyas Iyer c Manish Pandey b Holder 21(20) [4s-1]

Merciless DC make SRH bleed!
It is raining boundaries in Abu Dhabi!! 200 very much in sights! Stoinis and Dhawan give the perfect start to Delhi!
DC 65/0 (6 overs) CRR: 10.83

Toss
Delhi Capitals have won the toss and have opted to bat.
Shreyas Iyer, DC captain: We had two outings against SRH and I think this is a better outfield to bat against them. Putting on a good total would be a responsibility, and it's a good surface too. You have to take the positives, and do the homework right and I think we have done that well. Rashid is an amazing bowler who can change the game. We have to be aware of him and play smartly. Pravin Dube and Hetmyer come in. It's important to keep things simple, and it's only a matter of executing our plan today.

Kagiso Rabada has not picked up wickets and has lost his purple cap to Mumbai's Jasprit Bumrah. Delhi's batting order had taken a hit too and they needed some thinking to do after a disappointing loss to Mumbai. Shaw could lose his place in the Playing XI due to his poor form.
