Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Delhi Capitals by 67 runs on Saturday at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium, securing second place on the points table.
SRH set a formidable score of 266/7, with DC bundling out for 199 runs in 19.1 overs.
Jake Fraser McGurk's explosive 65 from just 18 balls wasn't enough to chase down the massive target, despite contributions of 42 and 44 from Abhishek Porel and Rishabh Pant respectively.
Key performances for SRH were- Travis Head's 89 off 32, Shahbaz Ahmed's 59* off 29 and Abhishek Sharma's 46 off 12.
At the toss, DC's Rishabh Pant chose to field first, introducing changes with Lalit Yadav and Anrich Nortje replacing Sumit Kumar and Ishant Sharma.
Hyderabad's batting lineup remained unchanged for this match, though there were speculations about adjustments to their bowling attack.
This match marked DC's first home game of IPL 2024, aiming to interrupt SRH's winning streak led by Pat Cummins.
Rishabh Pant's return to the Arun Jaitley Stadium was noteworthy, especially after his recovery from a severe 2022 accident.
DC's season has been inconsistent. They achieved victories against LSG and GT but also suffered four losses in seven matches.
