Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals Match Highlights & Results

Onto the next one - Another night filled with batting carnage ends in Hyderabad, and the Sunrisers have now started to fire on all cylinders, with shades of that 2024 season visible as well. Next up, we move to Lucknow, where the Super Giants will be taking on the Rajasthan Royals in yet another crucial battle. That game will be played on Wednesday, 22 April and will begin at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). However, as usual, you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up as well. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!

POTM - Abhishek Sharma - Abhishek Sharma has been given the accolade for his sensational unbeaten knock of 135 off 68 balls and a couple of catches as well. Sharma says they had a plan to maximise the Powerplay, but the wicket was a bit slow, so they had to reassess and keep the match-ups in mind while trying to make the most of that phase. Abhishek calls it a special moment to score at this venue and adds that you never quite know the par score until the 20th over is done. He says he wanted to entertain the crowd and makes a special mention of the coaches and the captain for giving him the freedom to express himself. Sharma credits the environment created in this team in 2024 as a game-changer and says the aim has been to grow as a team. On his celebration, he says it is a show of love for the fans, who have supported them not just at the ground but even back at the hotel. Abhishek shares that it is a special moment with his parents present, while his sister, who is unwell, is missing, and he dedicates the innings to her. He says that since his Under-12 days, his father has been watching him closely and guiding him on how to play. He adds that it is an incredible feeling, with his father constantly observing him while he looks back for those instructions.

All the credit goes to Abhishek - Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper, Ishan Kishan, says that looking at how Abhishek Sharma batted throughout the innings and the way Heinrich Klaasen finished things off, a lot of credit goes to them, as it was a wicket where the old ball was difficult to get away. Adds that they take it one match at a time and they have natural hitters in the team, but look to take 2-3 balls to assess things and play their natural game. On using Harsh Dubey late in the game, Kishan said he just tried to get that cushion, as it seemed like the spinners were a bit easier to get away, and he had already told Dubey that he would be bowling the difficult overs at the death, no matter what.

... The Presentation ceremony ...

SRH hit their mark with the bat - Earlier in the game, Axar Patel won yet another toss and opted to field. Sunrisers Hyderabad didn't mind it much as they do like batting first, and Abhishek Sharma came out all guns blazing. Travis Head didn't quite find his timing but still managed to get a few boundaries away as the openers piled on 97 quick runs for the first wicket. Delhi Capitals looked vulnerable with the ball, and the lapses in the field didn't help them either. Only Axar Patel managed to take a wicket as Abhishek Sharma went on to score a big, unbeaten ton as Heinrich Klaasen blitzed his way to an eighth consecutive score of 30 or more in the IPL, finishing with an unbeaten 37 off just 13 balls.

Let's now hear from SRH's star bowler - Eshan Malinga says he is very happy with his performance and thanks his teammates for their support. Eshan mentions that he came in with the same plan as the last game, with reverse swing coming into play. Shares that he focused on staying calm, doing the basics right and executing his plans. Malinga says that he worked with Lasith Malinga over the last couple of months with the national side and learned a lot from him. On the promise shown by Sakib Hussain, he calls him a brilliant bowler with great potential and believes he will go a long way.

Need to give credit where due - Delhi Capitals' skipper Axar Patel says they could have halted Abhishek Sharma’s charge had they taken the run-out chance and held on to that catch. Axar believes that even with good execution, when a batter scores big, you have to give credit, and that is the message he passed on to his bowlers. Patel opines that fielding is something within their control, and it is important to support the bowlers in the field, especially when things are not going their way. The DC skipper says they have not thought about any team changes and believes the side is doing well on both fronts. He adds that this can be treated as an off day on a surface like this and stresses the need to move on and forget it quickly.

The Capitals look a bit unpolished - Delhi Capitals have blown hot and cold throughout the 2026 season so far, and a few frailties with the ball and up top with the bat are costing them games. They lost an early wicket and then forged a decent comeback via an 86-run stand between KL Rahul and Nitish Rana, with the latter notching up a quick half-century as well. Then came the slump, 107/1 became 107/4 in a flash, and it was a mountain too high to climb from there. Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs did add another fifty-plus stand, but with the pressure mounting, Delhi kept losing wickets and ended up falling short of the 200-run mark as well.

Bowling attack coming to the fore - We have seen SRH chop and change their pacers this season, and once again today, we saw the addition of Dilshan Madushanka in place of Praful Hinge. However, over the last 3 games, the changes they are making in the bowling department seem to be working. Eshan Malinga has now transformed himself into SRH's lead pacer, and he had another stellar outing with a four-wicket haul. Madushanka too bowled well up top, and Sakib Hussain showed promise yet again, bowling in different phases of the game. The cherry on top was Harsh Dubey picking up 3 wickets in the final over and sealing a big win for the home side.

A hat-trick of wins - Sunrisers Hyderabad win their third game on the bounce, and they are quickly rising up the table now with 4 wins from 7 games. As for the Delhi Capitals, their inconsistent run continues, and they now have 3 wins and 3 losses to their name in 6 matches as well.

He holes out to deep mid-wicket, where Nitish Kumar Reddy gobbles it up.

All the pacers are bowled out. Will it be Harsh Dubey or Shivang Kumar to bowl the last over? It is the more experienced Dubey who will bowl the last over.c

On a length, around the off stump. Ashutosh Sharma switches his stance for the reverse but is beaten for pace and wears it on the pads. No bat involved and even though the ball is hitting the off stump on Ball Tracking, the impact is umpire's call. The on-field call of NOT OUT stays.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Just when the Capitals looked like they were making a real match out of it, the Sunrisers have managed to get the breakthrough. With 77 needed off 25 balls, DC will certainly need a miracle to get over the line here, but you never know. They also have the Impat Sub option up their sleeves. For now, SRH will be feeling quite good and will try and pick up a wicket or two to really seal things here. Delhi Capitals do use the Impact Sub and bring on Ashutosh Sharma, who walks out to bat as well. He replaces Mukesh Kumar in the lineup.

Sakib Hussain to Sameer Rizvi, 1 run.Full and darted in at the toes, Sameer Rizvi walks across and looks to help it on its way. Rizvi seems to have missed it and the ball deflects off the pads behind square leg for a run. There's half an appeal for LBW from the bowler, but it is turned down. The bowler doesn't seem all that interested but the captain takes the review. UltraEdge shows that the ball actually went off the bat.

A review for LBW, not given on the field. Seemed to be going down leg. Oh, there's a deflection, confirmed by the UltraEdge.

Eshan Malinga to David Miller, OUT! b Eshan Malinga.OUT! TIMBER! Eshan Malinga has just bamboozled David Miller on the very first ball, and he's pumped up with that wicket.

The ball takes the inside edge and knocks over the bails. 107/1 has now become 107/4 for the Capitals, and Malinga is on a hat-trick.

One left-hander replaces the other. David Miller walks in next.

Sakib Hussain to Nitish Rana, Four!FOUR! Rana flashes and flashes hard! His first FIFTY of the season and a much-needed one from DC's perspective, given the woes at number 3.

Nitish Kumar Reddy to KL Rahul, Six!SIX! Rahul will hope that this hit gets him going, as it has been a real struggle for him so far. A bit too predictable from Reddy as he goes short once more, over middle. Rahul backs away early and slams it over backward point for a six.

Shivang Kumar to Nitish Rana, Four!FOUR! In the gap! Floated up by Shivang, fuller and on off. Rana makes room and opens up the off side. Goes inside out over cover and picks up a boundary. The long off fielder cannot cut it off. A very productive over for DC. 19 runs off it.

Shivang Kumar to Nitish Rana, Six!SIX! Reddy's effort goes in vain! Another drag down by Kumar, turning back in, on middle and leg. Rana goes for the pull and he does not quite get hold of it.

His momentum would have anyway taken him over the ropes but he tried to catch and lob it towards the converging deep square leg fielder. The ball burst through his hands and landed beyond the boundary cushions.
