Jonny Bairstow, with a quickfire 48 (28b, 9X4, 1X6), backed up a disciplined and effective bowling effort by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to help the side chase down a target of 130 and register a five-wicket win over Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Fer♔oz Shah Kotla stadium in Delhi on Thursday.
The win has helped the Orange Army to leapfrog to the top of the points table.
Before Bairstow’s blitz, stand-in skipper Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammad Nabi and Siddarth Kaul took two wickets each to set up the win for Hyderabad as they restricted Delhi to 129/8 in 20 overs.

Earlier SRH had just one Warner, now they have two. This one bats right handed & is called Jonny Bairꩲstow.👏👏👏

SRH best side in the IPL. In that co𓂃ntext, this was a sub-par performance in𒁏 spite of the win

If you want to figure out how strong Sunrisers' bowling line-up is: they've got India international Khaleel Ahmed and the world's No. 1 allrounder Shakib Al Hasan, warming the bench.

Most matches by a player in🌸 the IPL with 100% win record:
7* – MOHAMMAD NABI (SRH, 2017-2019)
6 – Palani Amarnath (CSK, 2008)— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats)
SRH are on a roll and have won it comprhensively riding on with Nabi's all round performance and Bairstow's knock set up the chase. But Delhi struggled today as the batters have failed to put runs on the board but the bowlers did well to an extent which wasn't enough.

SRH beat Delhi Capitals by 5 wickets. Meanwhile "cricket experts" who were saying SRH batsmen were throwing wickets intentionally because the match is fixed…
