Facing 29 balls, Shahbaz Ahmed also smashed an unbeaten 59 runs. His unbeaten knock consisted of 2 fours and 5 sixes. Hyderabad's Heinrich Klaasen who is in great form in the IPL 2024 departed early against Delhi Capitals. His eight-ball innings ended with a score of 15 runs laced with 2 sixes. Nitish Kumar Reddy also accumulated some crucial runs. The right-hander played a knock of 37 runs off 27 balls which included 2 fours and 2 sixes.
Kuldeep Yadav was the most successful bowler for Delhi. The spinner conceded 55 runs and bagged four wickets in four overs. Axar Patel and Mukesh Kumar registered one wicket each to their names.
Khaleel Ahmed, the left-arm seamer, whose career has been dogged by inconsistency, helped Sunrisers in getting a 'Head start' as the short balls were summarily dispatched over deep mid-wicket for sixes with 19 coming off the first over.
On a track, where it required them to pitch it on a fuller length, all Delhi pacers bowled short as Head and Abhishek would just stand deep in their crease and make merry.
