DC vs SRH, IPL 2023 highlights: Sunrisers beat Delhi by 9 runs

Axar Patel ends on 29 off 14. Wonder if DC will ever consider promoting him after these performances and the repeated failures of Sarfaraz et all. A welcome result for SRH, who have broken a run of four consecutive defeats and avoided going bottom of the table. 

Axar is off strike so the first thing Ripal Patel needs to do is get him back on. Axar has scored 21 off 11 balls.

Sarfaraz has played all around that. Natarajan goes full, fast and straight and Sarfaraz for some reason tries to heave it to the leg side. Gets nothing on the ball.

Garg charges down the track but the ball is dragged outside off. He reaches for it and ends up toe edging it to his stumps.

Garg b Markande 12 (9), DC 140/5 in 15.4 overs

Hosein flights it up again despite being bludgeoned off the previous delivery. This time Marsh top edges it and Markram takes a fantastic catch at extra cover.

Marsh c Markram b Hosein 63 (39), 125/4 in 13.2 overs

That ball gripped and spun from Akeal and Marsh sends that miles up in the air and well beyond the boundary.

Pandey charges the third ball and misses it completely, he is woefully out of his crease as Klaasen takes off the bails. Then the umpires decide its time to have some fun with this decision and send it upstairs to see if Klaasen had collected the ball behind the stumps. After about 2 mins, we come to the footage that shows that anyone sitting at any corner of this stadium could have seen that Klaasen's gloves were behind the stumps. Can't be too careful aye? What is time in front of these factors. Five minutes usefully wasted.

Pandey st Klaasen b Abhishek Sharma 1 (3), DC 115/3 in 12.3 overs

Salt tries to smash the second ball of the 12th through cover it seems but he ends up getting too much on it and goes back to the bowler. Markande had a lot to do and he dove low to his right to take the catch, that was hit hard and he didn't have too much time to react.

Salt c & b Markande 59 (35), DC 112/2 in 11.2 overs

He took a four-wicket haul earlier in the day and was easily DC's best bowler, now he scores a 28-ball half century. This partnership has brought on 107 runs in 61 balls.

DC are cruising at the moment. Salt on 55 off 31, Marsh on 49 off 27. They need 93 to win from 60.

Well it looked like Marsh might get there before Salt as he hit a biggie off the first ball of the 10th. However, Harry Brook took the ball one handed in the air, then threw it up as his weight took him past the boundary and thus prevented the six. The batters took just one run after which Salt hit Markande off the next ball for a four to get to his half century in 29 balls.

Too short on middle and leg from Abhishek, Marsh rocks and smashes it over midwicket into the stands.

Salt on 48 off 26, Marsh on 36 off 20. DC need 113 to win off 72 and their current run rate just went above the required rate.

Phil Salt hits Umran along the ground straight downtown as the young Indian pays for his pace and line in that over. DC 79/1 in 7 overs, Salt on 45 off 23, Marsh on 33 off 17.

Phil Salt, who hit a four off the second last ball of that over, is on 24 off 12. He was out for a golden duck in the last match, remember. Marsh is on 10 off 10.

Hosein bowling the fourth over, he sends the second ball at length on middle, Marsh pulls it flat into the SRH dugout.
