IPL2024: SRH score 67-run win over DC

Travis Head's aggressive fifty and bowlers' determination helped Sunrisers Hyderabad score a fine 67-run victory over Delhi Capitals in their IPL match in New Delhi on Saturday.Chasing a massive 267 run for win, Delhi were in the hunt initially through Jake Fraser-McGurk (65, 18b, 5x4, 7x6) and Abhishek Porel (42, 22b, 7x4, 1x6).But once both of them were dismissed, Delhi's chase too fizzled out as SRH bowlers struck regularly to push the asking rate near the realm of impossibility.

Travis Head's blitzkrieg knock of 89 runs off just 32 balls, complemented by Abhishek Sharma's quickfire 46 off 12 deliveries, propelled SRH to a formidable total of 266 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs. Their explosive partnership, coupled with a record-breaking Powerplay score of 125/0, laid a solid foundation for SRH, hinting at the possibility of breaching the 300-run mark, a feat yet to be achieved in IPL history. Head and Abhishek mercilessly attacked every bowler, with even the typically brave Kuldeep Yadav (4/55 in 4 overs) falling prey to Abhishek's onslaught, forcing him to alter his bowling trajectory.
