With a win against Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous game, Delhi Capitals found their mojo back in the IPL 2023. Now after a close run chase against KKR, they have defended their 144 runs total against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Delhi Capitals have defeated SRH by 7 runs to get their second win this season. Delhi’s batting was as usual in trouble. They dropped Prithvi Shaw, yet they could not get the start they were looking for. Opener Phil Salt was out on golden duck. Manish Pandey (34) and Axar Patel's (34) 69 runs partnership helped them score to give SRH 145 runs target. Delhi bowlers kept the pressure on SRH batters from the ball one. Spinners in the middle overs put Delhi in command and they (Axar and Kuldeep) conceded only 43 runs in their 8 overs and picked up 3 wickets. At the end of the inning, Heinrich Klassen (31) did try his best to reach the target but Nortje sent him back.
