Match Information: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals 10th Match
Player Of The Match Award
Mitchell Starc earned man of the match for his amazing bowling performance. Australian Speedstar ended with remarkable speed and accuracy through SRH’s batting lineup, excellent figures of 5 for 35 in four overs. Stark hurriedly hit and returned to the overs of death, which to take important wickets, to completely stop the speed of SRH. His ability to swing the ball and maintain pressure throughout the mantra played an important role in limiting SRH to 163 runs. Starc’s match-winning spell not only set a tone for DC’s comfortable seven-Cat win, but also reminded fans as to why he remains one of the most frightened bowlers in T20 cricket.
