IPL 2021 Points Table Today Latest, DC vs SRH 2021 Prediction: Delhi Capitals batters came to the party after bowlers restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to a below-par total of 134/9 in match 33 of IPL 2021 on Wednesday. Chasing a tricky target, Shikhar Dhawan (42), captain Rishabh Pant (35 not out), and ‘comeback man’ – Shreyas Iyer (47 not out) played a crucial hand as Delhi gunned down the total with eight wickets in hand and 13 balls to spare. Courtesy of this win, Delhi have not only dethroned MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings from the top spot of the IPL 2021 points table but also took a giant leap towards IPL play-offs.
Delhi Capitals rode on a brilliant fast bowling performance from their South African duo Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada to pulverize wooden spooners Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets. Capitals produced top-notch performance in their first match of the second phase of this year’s IPL to eke out the easy win. It was only possible after fast-furious Nortje bowled at 150 clicks to finish with 2 for 12 and was ably supported by Rabada (3/37) and Axar Patel (2/21) in a brilliant bowling effort. Last edition’s runners-up Delhi are now well and truly in contention for clinching a playoff berth with 14 points from nine games while the ‘Orange Army’ (SRH) with two points are all but out of the competition.
