Delhi Capitals edged Sunrisers Hyderabad in the first Super Over of IPL 2021 which concluded the Chennai leg of the tournament at the MA Chidambaram stadium on Sunday. With both teams tied on 159, the game went to a Super Over. SRH managed only 7 runs (which could have been 8 if not for a one short from David Warner), which DC knocked off in the last ball.
Axar Patel led the charge for Delhi in the Super Over and was extremely impactful on a slow Chepauk track. The bowler conceded just seven from his six deliveries, which included a boundary by Kane Williamson.
What followed next was an absolute delight for the fans as Rishabh Pant walked in with Rashid Khan getting ready to bowl the deciding over from the other end. Pant did manage to sweep a tossed up delivery by Rashid for a boundary, but the six deliveries bowled by the world-class spinner saw an exciting contest getting unfold at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Kane Williamson hit a sublime 66 not out but his valiant effort fell agonizingly short as Delhi Capitals defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad via a Super Over in Chennai. With the victory, Delhi rose to the second spot in the points table. Sunrisers, on the other hand are now at the seventh spot with four defeats and a sole win. See how Twitter reacts on this nail biting clash between SRH and DC:
Unless Bairstow was in toilet, can't get why would he not be your first choice in a #SuperOver when he scored 38 of 18 in the main innings and looked the cleanest hitter. Baffling, Hyderabad fought well but have only themselves to blame for strange decisions. #SRHvsDC
