DC gets past SRH in super over

Chennai, Apr 25 (UNI) Delhi Capitals (DC) edged past Sunrisers
Hyderabad (SRH) in the first super over finish of this year's IPL
here tonight.
Batting first, DC finished at 159 for four with opener Prithvi
Shah making a quickfire half century and Shikar Dhawan and
captain Rishab Pant contributing 28 and 37 respectively.
In reply, SRH lost skipper David Warner early, but Kiwi
Kane Williamson's half century (66 not out, 51 balls, 8x4)
and Jonny Bairstow (38, 18 balls, 3x4, 4x6) restored
confidence, before SRH lost wickets continuously.
However, a six by J Suchith, who came in for Bhuvaneswar Kumar,
in the last over, ensured that the contest extended to super
over, as SRH finished at 159 for 7.
In the Super over, DC's Axar Patel conceded just eight runs,
with David Warner's one run-short turning the table in favour
of DC.
SRH scored eight runs (minus-1 for one run short), and DC romped
home off the last ball.
With this win DC emerged as the second topper in the table behind
CSK, which had earlier defeated RCB.
