Live IPL Score, DC vs SRH, IPL 2019 Match 16: Hello and welcome to our live blog of Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad live from Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi. Rejuvenated Delhi Capitals will host Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Thursday clash of Indian Premier League where both the team will aim to grab the two crucial points in the cash-rich tournament. SRH are riding high on success after dismantling Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore at their home ground by 118 runs. While on the other side DC are under a lot of pressure after losing the match from a very comfortable position against Kings XI Punjab courtesy Sam Curran hat-trick. The only problem SRH are facing right now is 100 per cent fitness of their skipper Kane Williamson, as he missed out the last match against RCB owing shoulder injury. In his absence, Indian paceman Bhuvneshwar Kumar is leading the Orange Army.(Click Here for IPL coverage in Hindi)
Live IPL Score & Updates, Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Match 16 Live: DC 52/2 in 9 overs vs SRH
20.44 IST: OUT! Pant is out here and there is pin-drop silence in the stadium here. He has literally thrown it away. That shot was just not needed at the moment. Delhi needed him to continue batting. Very reckless from Rishabh. Nabi however, is delighted. He strikes on the very first ball of his final over. Excellent bowling change. Nabi removes Pant for 5. Delhi Capitals 52/3 in 9.1 overs
20.41 IST: Just plants his front foot across and then works it through mid-wicket. Once again the batters take the first one quickly but there is only one available. Just the five from Sandeep's first.
20.39 IST: That just does not bounce! Another slower one outside off, Pant looks to hit it over covers but the ball sneaks under the bat.
5⃣0⃣ up for the team. #SkipperShreyas and @RishabPant777 are out there and have the score ticking. #DC - 50/2 in 8.3 overs.#DCvSRH #ThisIsNewDelhi #DelhiCapitals

20.38 IST: On the off pole, Pant manages to work it through square leg but only for a single. Three singles in the over so far.
20.36 IST: A back of a length delivery on middle, Shreyas flicks it towards the mid-wicket region. Takes a first run quickly and at same time calls for the double. That is very good running.
* Sandeep is brought in
20.32 IST: FOUR! Shreyas has a crack and sails for a boundary. A freebie to begin with. A full toss and Iyer says thank you very much. He strokes it through covers and the ball races away. DC 45/2 in 7.1 overs
* Rashid Khan is introduced
20.29 IST: Fuller length delivery on off, Pant drives it past the bowler. Warner at mid off gives a great dives to his right and saves a certain boundary.
* Rishabh Pant is the new man in.
OUT!! NABI!!!!! 🧡🧡

Sandeep takes an easy catch and the Afghan gets his first wicket tonight.#OrangeArmy #RiseWithUs #DCvSRH pic.twitter.com/ZISShDVN15
20.26 IST: OUT! In the air... taken! Delhi have lost Dhawan on the last ball of the Powerplay. A big wicket this for the visitors. Nabi slows this one up and lands it on middle. This one bounces a touch extra. Dhawan looks to sweep but the ball takes the top edge and lobs towards short fine leg where Sandeep Sharma accepts a dolly. Both the openers are back in the hut and with that wicket, the Powerplay also belongs to Hyderabad. Delhi are 36 for 2 after it. Nabi removes Dhawan for 12. Delhi Capitals 36/2 in 6 overs
20.23 IST: FOUR! Dhawan hits his first boundary. Brilliant sweep by Gabbar. DC 32/1 in 5.2 overs
20.19 IST: SIX! And that's the first maximum of the match! Right in Shreyas' arc and he has hit it out of the ground. On the pads, it is fuller in length. Iyer lofts it over the mid-wicket fence. First of the game. DC 26/1 in 4.3 overs
20.16 IST: This is fired on the pads, Dhawan looks to work it on the leg side but misses. The ball brushes his pads and rolls towards short fine leg. A leg bye taken.
20.15 IST: Good amount of turn there again! This is pitched on off and it comes back in. Iyer looks to work it on the leg side but misses to get hit on the pads.
20.13 IST: A back of a length on off, Iyer taps it to point region for a single.
* Shreyas Iyer walks out to the middle.
OUT!! IT'S CAPTAIN BHUVI!!!! 🧡🧡

Shaw goes back early!#OrangeArmy #RiseWithUs #DCvSRH pic.twitter.com/SGIcWVloja
20.10 IST: OUT! The off stump goes for a walk! Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes and he is pumped up. The slight change in grip does the trick for him. However, the shot by Shaw can be questioned here. It is on a length and around off, does not bounce as much as Prithvi expected it to. He looks to hit it through mid-wicket but misses. Bhuvneshwar removes Shaw for 11. Delhi Capitals 14/1 in 2.2 overs
20.07 IST: Nabi to Shaw: Pitches this one outside off, it turns back in. Shaw waits for it and then guides it to short third man for a run.
20.06 IST: Slower through the air on middle, Dhawan looks to defend but ends up playing outside the line. The ball goes off the inner half towards short fine leg for a run.
* Mohammad Nabi to bowl from the other end.
20.03 IST: EDGED AND FOUR! Shaw won't care though. Second boundary in the over. Hint of shape there for Kumar. It is on off, Shaw looks to drive it down the ground but due to the outswing, it flies off the outside edge to the third man fence. DC 8/0 in 0.5 overs
20.02 IST: That one stays low! On the shorter side and outside off, not a lot of width on offer there. Shaw still goes for a cut but misses.
20.00 IST: FOUR! The first ball of the match and goes for a boundary! Shaw is off the mark in style. Not a very bad delivery that, slightly behind the fuller length on off, Shaw waits for it and then places it in the gap in the cover region and the ball races to the fence. DC 4/0 in 4.1 overs
19.58 IST: We are all set for the action to begin! The Delhi openers, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw make their way out to the middle.
19.50 IST: And we're all set for today's clash at Kotla! DC vs SRH! Who are you backing in today's clash? The battle of the Blues vs Orange commences in just a few minutes.
19.40 IST: Shreyas Iyer says they also wanted to bowl first. Mentions that the wicket looks very dry and he hopes it worsens as the game progresses. Informs that Axar Patel, Rahul Tewatia and Ishant Sharma are in for Avesh Khan, Harshal Patel and Hanuma Vihari.
19.37 IST: Bhuvneshwar Kumar says that they want to bowl first. Mentions that it is a dry wicket but then he is more happy to chase. States that the dew might play a factor later on. Informs that they are unchanged.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Match 16 of the Indian Premier League as Delhi Capitals host Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium in New Delhi. The TOSS will take place at 7.30 PM IST while play will commence from 8.00 PM IST.
Brief Report: In a format like the Indian Premier League, momentum plays an important role. While a team on a roll can make the impossible look regular, teams which haven't managed to hit the right note can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Going into match 16 of the league, while Sunrisers Hyderabad are definitely on a roll, Delhi Capitals need to buck up. They have had a change in name, but Delhi Capitals' fortunes have been topsy-turvy as ever. Having started off in style against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium, DC lost to Chennai at home, sneaked a win in the Super Over against Kolkata and then lost again to Kings XI Punjab in a game that was almost sealed.
