Delhi Capitals won their fifth match in IPL 2022 beating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 21 runs courtesy of batting brilliance from David Warner and Rovman Powell. Warner smashed unbeaten 92 runs from 58 balls while Powell scored unbeaten 67 runs from 35 balls to guide the team to a winning total of 207/3.

Delhi Capitals have kept themselves alive in the race to playoffs by beating Sunrisers Hyderabad by 21 runs. The team won their fifth game in the tournament and are sitting at fifth position in the points table. SRH won the toss and asked the opposition to bat first. David Warner continued his terrific run of form in the tournament and played a sublime knock. Warner smashed unbeaten 92 runs from 58 balls.

Rovman Powell also played a key role scoring unbeaten 67 runs from 35 balls. The duo of Warner and Powell stitched together a 122-run partnership for the fourth wicket and helped the team post a huge total of 207/3. Chasing such a mammoth total was going to be a difficult task for SRH.

SRH lost wickets at regular intervals except for a knock of 62 runs from 34 balls by Nicholas Pooran. He was looking dangerous in the end but Shardul Thakur sent him back to the pavilion crushing the hopes of an SRH win. Khaleel Ahmed picked three wickets while Shardul Thakur scalped a couple of wickets. SRH ended up on 186/8 to suffer a defeat.

Pelo!

TUK TUK!

Who is Kane Williamson?

For the blind, he is the light.

For the hungry, he is the bread.

For the thirsty, he is the fountain.

For the sick, he is the cure.

For the prisoner, he is freedom.

For the liar, he is the truth.

For the traveler, he is the way🥺🔥😍 #DCvSRH pic.twitter.com/Jv4GuSFnLD

Undervalued!

David Warner went to Delhi Capitals for just 6.5cr in the auction and now he has most fifties in IPL 2022. A legend of the league, he's madly consistent.

Scope for improvement!

Need to bowl for the field or set the field for the ball. @RishabhPant17 @DelhiCapitals Please do better 🙏

Bowling wide outside off without the sweeper cover is not helping us.

Some advice!

Drop Mandeep, Shardul and Lalit.. bring in Shaw, Sakariya, Yash/Bharat.

Rahul in, Kane out?

@SunRisers Being a SRH fan again from this season,Iam suggesting u one thing I'm a big fan of KANE but please send RAHUL TRIPATI in place of him as a opener Batsman.He(Tripati) accelarate well in powerplay,bcz that is the main cause to lose these two previous matches.
