Welcome back for the run chase. The Hyderabad openers are Shikhar Dhawan and Alex Hales. It will be Trent Boult to steam in first up. A slip in place for the Kiwi. Let's play...
At the beginning, Delhi's move to open with Maxwell didn't work as he got run out in an unfortunate manner. Despite that Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer played their shots and kept the scoreboard moving. 86-run partnership for the second wicket was broken by Rashid Khan in the 11th over of the innings. After which, Delhi just failed to gain any momentum and they scored just 68 from the final 59 deliveries. Hyderabad have a good batting unit and they will be confident of chasing down this total. Delhi need to pick wickets with the new ball to create pressure on Hyderabad. Do join us back in a while for the run chase.
