Saha and Warner thump Capitals and keep Sunrisers' season alive

Sunrisers Hyderabad 219 for 2 (Saha 87, Warner 66) beat Delhi Capitals 131 (Pant 36, Rashid 3-7) by 88 runs

The Sunrisers Hyderabad came into this game having to win everything to stand even the slimmest chance of qualifying for the playoffs. One wrong move could have ended their entire campaign right here, right now. That is a lot of pressure. And yet, they reveled in it.

David Warner batted like he used to. Hard hands hitting through the line and eyes only for the boundary. He made 66 off 34 balls. Wriddhiman Saha provided another example of why he shouldn’t be underestimated as a batsman in T20 cricket. He made 87 off 45 balls. On the back of those two knocks, the Sunrisers put up 219 for 2 and smothered the Delhi Capitals with scoreboard pressure.

The Sunrisers are now sixth on the points table with 10 points, just two behind the Kings XI Punjab and the Kolkata Knight Riders.
