Abhishek Sharma’s hundred helps SunRisers Hyderabad register convincing win over the Delhi Capitals
Abhishek Sharma’s second IPL ton and at the same venue was integral in helping the SunRisers Hyderabad to an imposing total of 242/2 in their stipulated 20 overs. Abhishek’s opening partnership of 97 was the tone-setter as Ishan Kishan also slammed a 13-ball 25. Abhishek, meanwhile, belted his half-century off only 25 balls and reached the three-figure mark off only 47 deliveries. Heinrich Klaasen, who followed next, also provided the impetus with an unbeaten 37 off 13 deliveries, striking at 284.61.
While Dilshan Madushanka’s IPL debut saw him dismiss his fellow countryman Pathum Nissanka in his third over for 8 for the first breakthrough. Although Nitish Rana and KL Rahul stitched an 86-run stand, the Capitals ended up losing three more wickets for no run, making their task further and further steeper. The likes of Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs struck some lusty blows but the Capitals still fell 47 runs short of the target. Eshan Malinga was the pick of the bowlers with outstanding figures of 4-0-32-4.
