#5 Rashid wicket-less

Delhi did well not to give away any wickets to Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan was brilliant and economical as usual against Delhi but couldn’t pick wickets. That made a world of difference as Delhi went for the chase right through without the brakes being applied on their scoring rate. Rashid gave away just two fours in his spell registering figures of 4-0-24-0.

However, he couldn’t get Anderson out early and that proved to be decisive for SRH as the latter showed his destructive capabilities as a finisher. Rashid was unlucky at one point as a skied shot from Iyer dropped in no man’s land.

Nevertheless, it showed that SRH could be vulnerable if Rashid and Bhuvi do not pick too many wickets. It was smart of Delhi to see him off without playing too many rash shots, given Delhi knew SRH were a bowler short.
