Here the equation stands after the powerplay- Delhi Capitals lost Prithvi Shaw early in the chase of 135 runs vs SunRisers Hyderabad. Shikhar Dhawan is batting along with Shreyas Iyer who is making a comeback after an injury.
SunRisers Hyderabad are at the bottom of the points table with just a single win off their seven games they played till now this season. If they win their all games from now then also they can reach to maximum 16 points and their fate of qualification will be unsure even then. Kane Williamson-led side has a lot to do in their remaining seven games as their net-run-rate is also the worst in comparison with the other teams in the table.
Rabada to Abdul Samad, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket. Poor fielding from Hetmyer, just few minutes before he took a spectacular catch to dismiss Kane Williamson but he failed this time in the fielding.
