SRH vs DC, IPL 2023: Full List of Award Winners, Player of The Match, Scorecard & Records
The Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven runs in IPL 2023 last night at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. The Delhi-based franchise recorded their first away win of the tournament and boosted their tally to four points.
DC captain David Warner won the toss and decided to bat first in Hyderabad. The Capitals lost half their side for just 62 runs in eight overs. It looked like SRH would restrict them to a total below 120. However, Axar Patel's 34-ball 34 and Manish Pandey's 27-ball 34 lifted DC to 144/9 in 20 overs.
SRH had previously won a similar game against the Punjab Kings in Hyderabad, which is why fans expected another win for the Orange Army, but the SRH batters failed to get going. The likes of Harry Brook, Aiden Markram, Abhishek Sharma, and Rahul Tripathi could not live up to the expectations, as SRH lost by seven runs.
