Maiden fifties for wicketkeepers

It was also a day to remember for both teams’ wicketkeepers. SRH’s Heinrich Klaasen (53 off 27) and DC’s Phil Salt (59 off 35) scored their maiden IPL half-centuries.

Mayank Markande’s match-turning catch

Leg-spinner Mayank Markande’s sharp low catch off his own bowling in the 12th over derailed DC’s run chase. Markande dismissed Salt to end a 111-run partnership for the second wicket between Salt and Marsh. Apart from this brilliant catch, Markande was the top bowler in the match, going for just five runs per over and ended up with figures of 2/20 in four overs.

SRH end losing streak

With this win, SRH ended a three-match losing streak in IPL 2023. Also, they registered a win against DC after five straight defeats since 2020.

Abhishek Sharma’s breezy half ton

SRH opener Abhishek Sharma too shone with the bat, scoring 67 off 36 with 12 fours and one six.

He might not have ended up on the winning side but Mitchell Marsh delivered a spirited all-round performance for @DelhiCapitals and received the Player of the Match award 👏🏻👏🏻#SRH register a 9-run win in Delhi 👌🏻👌🏻
