New Delhi: An explosive century partnership between openers Travis Head (89) and Abhishek Sharma (46) and a brilliant bowling by T Natarajan (4/19) helped Sunrisers Hyderabad register a massive 67-run win over Delhi Capitals at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. With the win, SRH moved to the second spot on the points table. Travis Head set the stage on fire with a 16-ball half-century as Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 266/7 in 20 overs. Head and Sharma broke the record of the highest score in powerplay in T20 cricket - 125. At one stage, 300 looked likely but DC’s Kuldeep Yadav claimed three quick wickets to stop them reach there. Shahbaz Ahmed also gave a fine finishing touch to the innings with his 59*-run knock at the end. Scores: SRH 266/7 (Travis Head 89, Shahbaz Ahmed 59*, Kuldeep Yadav 4/55) beat DC 199 in 19.1 overs (Jake Fraser McGurk 65, Rishabh Pant 44, T Natrajan 4/19). (ani)
