IPL Highlight, DD vs SRH: Williamson, Dhawan Help SRH Beat DD By 9 Wickets
IPL Delhi Daredevils vs SunRisers Hyderabad highlight: While the Kane Williamson-led team qualified for the play-off, Delhi Daredevils are eliminated
Rishabh Pant's valiant century went in vain as SunRisers Hyderabad made light work of Delhi Daredevils' challenging 187/5 to romp home by nine wickets and consolidate their stay at the top of the Indian Premier League (IPL) points table. The visitors overcame the early loss of opener Alex Hales (14) as the other opener Shikhar Dhawan (92 not out off 50 balls) and skipper Kane Williamson (83 not out off 53 balls) stitched together a 176-run second stand to demoralise bottom-placed Delhi's spirited effort midway into the match. With the loss, Delhi's hopes of reaching the play-off are up in the smoke and can now only play the party spoilers in the cash-rich tournament. (Scorecard)

Returning to his home ground, Dhawan started the chase by slamming pacer Harshal Patel for a boundary through point even as Williamson continued his glorious run with the willow this season. The Delhi bowlers started losing the plot right after the powerplay when the right-left duo of Williamson and Dhawan propelled the SunRisers to 51/1 before racing to 91/1 midway into the innings. After this match, Delhi Daredevils have been eliminated from the tournament.

21:30 IST: Four! Glenn Maxwell is also getting in the act, slaps Kaul for a powerful shot straight down the ground.
21:28 IST: HUNDRED! Pant pulls Kaul for a one-bounce boundary to score his maiden IPL 100 in 56 balls. He also becomes the second youngest to score a hundred in an IPL match.
21:24 IST: Four! Bhuvneshwar bowls length ball outside off, Pant does well to ramp this over short third man. Amazing shot this by the young batsman
21:20 IST: Six! Full delivery from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and right in Pant's arc as he swings hard and smokes the ball rows back in the crowd.
21:17 IST: Six! Rashid Khan bowls full and wide, Pant swings hard and sends the ball into the second tier for a mammoth six. Pant has been fearless in front of Rashid today.

20:53 IST: Four! Pant this time sweeps Rashid Khan fine for consecutive boundaries. Pant is changing gears now. Delhi will need him to stay out in the middle if they want to put up a competitive total on board.

Expensive over for us but #CaptainKane must be thinking of doing something as Shakib comes in for the 7th over going for the hattrick #DDvSRH #IPL2018
20:25 IST: Four! Hat-trick of boundaries for Rishbah Pant off Siddarth Kaul, the new bowler. The first ball that was short and had width was slapped through the covers. Kaul followed it up with a same delivery and the outcome was same as Pant cut the ball through the point for the second boundary. The third one was a bit unlucky as Pant threw his bat at the wide ball and edged it away past the keeper for a boundary.
20:21 IST: Delhi Daredevils 23/2 in 5 overs.

20:12 IST: Delhi Daredevils 16/0 after the third over.

Delhi Daredevils: Prithvi Shaw, Jason Roy, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Glenn Maxwell, Vijay Shankar, Liam Plunkett, Harshal Patel, Amit Mishra, Shahbaz Nadeem, Trent Boult
19:34 IST: Kane Williamson --Â We would have batted first as well. Tough to predict the pitch and it looked dry, hopefully our bowlers can make some early inroads. (On the toss) Part and parcel of the game. Hard to control that, either you get to do it first or you don't. We chased last game. We can make improvements in all areas still, moving forward to the back half of the tournament. Don't want to get ahead of ourselves. Important to adapt to the surfaces we get. Just one change, Goswami comes in for Saha who is injured.
19:32 IST: Shreyas Iyer --Â We would like to bat first. We've been really confident in the last few games. We've done well doing so in the last few games and the batsmen look confident. We have to stay calm and not worry too much about the results. The attitude and character that we show on the field will improve the team's bonding. We've three changes - Shahbaz Nadeem, Jason Roy and Harshal Patel come in.

19:25 IST: Pitch report -- Typical Delhi track. Looks a really good surface. Not a lot of grass, certainly a lot of bare patches. The average score here batting first has been about the 180-run mark. It's been a bit lesser this season although some huge scores have been chased down. Sides batting first have won the last six games here and it shall be interesting to see if the chasing team can buck the trend," says Matthew Hayden.

19:15 IST:Â We are minutes away from the toss, stay tuned.
19:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live blog of the match between Delhi Daredevils and SunRisers Hyderabad straight from Delhi.
It would also be interesting to see whether Delhi still persists with Australian Glenn Maxwell, who had a torrid season so far. On the bowling front, New Zealander Trent Boult have led his resources well with the young Avesh Khan, Englishman Liam Plunkett and all-rounder Vijay Shankar while leg-spinner Amit Mishra have also been amongst the wickets. Coming to the SunRisers, its been their bowling unit led by the overseas spin twins -- Afghan Rashid Khan and Bangladeshi Shakib Al Hasan -- who have been instrumental in defending sub-150 scores.
The spinners have been well supported by the pace department led by fit-again Bhuvneshwar Kumar and young Siddharth Kaul. Their batting mainly centres around the skipper -- Williamson -- who has repeatedly dug them out of troubled waters, scoring five half centuries so far in this season. The inconsistent top order comprising the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Alex Hales and Manish Pandey need to shoulder the responsibility in case Williamson fails to deliver. Veteran Yusuf Pathan has of late found back his groove with his cameos lower down the order along side the left-hander Shakib and stumper Wriddhiman Saha. Come Thursday, it will be interesting to see if Delhi's batsmen can pass the stern test from the Sunrisers bowlers and halt their winning run.
Squads:
Delhi Daredevils: Jason Roy, Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Glenn Maxwell, Shreyas Iyer (captain), Vijay Shankar, Daniel Christian, Rahul Tewatia, Shahbaz Nadeem, Mohammed Shami, Trent Boult, Chris Morris, Colin Munro, Amit Mishra, Prithvi Shaw, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Jayant Yadav, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Manjot Kalra, Abhishek Sharma, Sandeep Lamichhane, Naman Ojha, Sayan Ghosh, Liam Plunkett.
SunRisers Hyderabad: Kane Williamson (captain), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shikhar Dhawan, Shakib Al Hasan, Manish Pandey, Carlos Brathwaite, Yusuf Pathan, Wriddhiman Saha (wicket-keeper), Rashid Khan, Ricky Bhui, Deepak Hooda, Siddarth Kaul, T.
