Delhi Capitals on Sunday outfoxed Sunrisers Hyderabad to register their third consecutive victory in the ongoing 12th season of the Indian Premier League. Courtesy their win, the Capitals have now moved to the second spot in the IPL 2019 Points Table. Despite putting up a modest 155, Delhi Capitals bowlers came out all guns blazing to defend the target as they folded Sunrisers Hyderabad for 116 in 18.5 overs to script a comfortable 39-run victory in the clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad were comfortably placed at 71/0 in the 10th over before Kasigo Rabada, Chriss Morris and Keemo Paul came from nowhere to rattle the hosts' batting line-up as the trio accounted for all the 10 wickets to fall.
While Rabada was exceptional with figures of 4/22, the South African was ably supported by Morris and Paul, who bagged three wickets each conceding just 22 and 17 runs, respectively.
The victory lifted the entire dressing room and the mood of the players was quite evident at the post-match celebration party.
Delhi Capitals' Shikhar Dhawan and Ishant Sharma, both True Blue Delhiites, danced their hearts out during the celebrations.
Dhawan's wife Aesha and son Zoravar too joined them on the dance floor and they grooved to the beats of Bhangra.
