Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma provided the perfect start with the bat as SRH registered the highest score in the powerplay. The onslaught did not stop until the very last delivery of the 1st innings as they put up a mammoth total of 267 runs.
DC were too slow in the run-chase throughout, with only Fraser-McGurk shining with the bat. The Australian smashed the fourth fastest fifty of IPL. However, a clinical performance from SRH bowlers ensured that DC could never manage to get going, as they were bowled out 199 runs.

Cummins says
We were thinking of having a bowl first as well, looks like a good wicket. The way the boys have been batting, we know teams are going to come hard at us. Same batting lineup, we’ll have a look at the bowling a little later on.
Pant says
We’re going to bowl first. Wicket looks pretty good, we would like to chase because we are playing more as a batting unit. We have more batters. Maybe there will be dew. The only thing we said is “stay in the contest”. Yes they’ve been playing really good cricket but you can’t let them get away with it. Ground doesn’t matter, end of the day you have to play good cricket. We’re looking to improve each and every match. Instead of Sumit, Lalit comes in. Instead of Ishant, who had a back spasm just 5 minutes back, Nortje comes in.
