In that match, Mohammed Shami picked up three crucial wickets to restrict the Knight Riders to 179/7 in 20 overs. Joshua Little and Noor Ahmed too chipped in with a couple of wickets. In response, Vijay Shankar played a brilliant knock of 51 runs off just 24 balls with a strike rate of 212.5 to his team get over the line, with 13 balls to spare.

After winning two consecutive games, the Delhi Capitals failed to carry forward their winning momentum. They suffered a close nine-run loss against the Sunrisers Hyderabad at home. They are still at the bottom of the points table with four points, winning two of their eight games.

The bowlers failed to keep a check on the scoring rate as they conceded a massive total of 197/6 in 20 overs. Mitchell Marsh contributed with both bat and the ball, as the all-rounder picked up four wickets and played a quick-fire knock of 63 runs off just 39 balls.
