00:00What a lucky escape this has been for Delhi Capitals and their fans. After the end of the

00:11first innings, it looked like the defeat is quite inevitable for Delhi Capitals and they will

00:15surely lose those two points against Sunrisers Hyderabad as batting first they had put only 133

00:22runs on the board. But Rain Gods had some other ideas. Rain Gods just rescued Delhi Capitals

00:28from that crushing defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad and thanks to the rain in Hyderabad,

00:33Delhi Capitals are still fifth in the points table with 13 points in their account and they

00:39have three more games to go. Luckily for Delhi Capitals, they didn't lose that game but they

00:44shared a point with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Talk about the game, Sunrisers Hyderabad had dropped

00:49Nitish Kumar Reddy along with their star passer Mohamed Shami who wasn't firing this season

00:54for them but that turned out to be a masterstroke for Pat Cummins and his army. As Shami wasn't

01:01there, Pat Cummins started bowling first over for Sunrisers Hyderabad and on the very first

01:06over of the game, on the very first delivery of the match, he got rid of Karun Nair on a

01:11golden duck. And after dismissing Karun Nair on the very first ball of his spell, Sunrisers

01:16Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins didn't stop at that point. In his second over, he got rid of

01:21Delhi's other opener Fab Du Plessis who has been an experienced campaigner for Delhi Capitals.

01:27And in his third over, he also got rid of their No. 3 Abhishek Poral. Delhi didn't even

01:32recover from those blows from Pat Cummins as Sunrisers Hyderabad other paces, Harshal

01:37Patel and Jair Devonatka joined the party with a wicket of Delhi skipper Aksar Patel followed

01:42by KL Rahul who has been scoring runs for them in the first few games but looked inconsistent

01:48after that knock against RCB. And as we have mentioned RCB here, at one stage Delhi Capitals

01:54were 29 for 5 in 7 overs and that record, that 49 all out from RCB looked in danger. But

02:02thanks to Tristan Stubbs and Vip Rajnikam who chipped in with a little bit partnership before

02:06that horrendous misunderstanding between the duo which resulted in a wicket. And after the wicket

02:12of Vip Rajnikam, Delhi Capitals were forced to call their saviour Ashutosh Sharma who came as an impact

02:18sub for Delhi Capitals, who batted at No. 7 for Delhi Capitals, came as an impact sub and made a real

02:24impact for Delhi Capitals, who helped Delhi Capitals to cross that 130 runs mark which looked quite far

02:30when they lost their sixth wicket. Once Delhi Capitals were 29 for 5 and soon after a little

02:35partnership, Vip Rajnikam also departed and Delhi Capitals were in all sorts of trouble. But thanks to

02:40Tristan Stubbs who also chipped in with 40 orderants, along with Ashutosh Sharma who gave

02:45some momentum to this innings and helped Delhi Capitals to cross that 130 mark and make some

02:51respectable total on the board. Despite that great recovery from Ashutosh Sharma and Tristan Stubbs,

02:56the total was quite under par. And in case we had a game here, Sunrisers might have chased it down.

03:02In case we had a short game here, they would have chased it down anyways. But Train Gods had some other

03:08ideas for Delhi Capitals. Delhi would have easily lost that game. They would have easily lost those

03:13two points as well. But thanks to Rain in Hyderabad, now they have shared a point with Sunrisers Hyderabad,

03:19which means Delhi Capitals are still at fifth as far as Points Table are concerned. They have got 13

03:25points under their belt and they have got three more games to go. And as we are moving towards the

03:30business end of the tournament, Points Table is heating up. The contests are getting spicier.
