Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 10th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So after posting a massive total of 286/6 in their first match of the season against Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad have tumbled and posted a couple of mediocre totals according to their standards. In their quest to breach the 300-run mark, the Sunrisers have lost their way in back-to-back games. Also teams are finding ways to counter SRH's aggressive batting approach and have found success while doing so. Barring Aniket Verma, most of their batters couldn't get going today. Will the runners-up of the last season manage to bounce back and get back to winning ways in days to come, or will their campaign derail further? We shall find out soon. Right then, this is Nikhil signing off on behalf of Pradeep, Vinod, Abhinand and Praveen. You can switch tabs and follow the live coverage of the second game of the day as the Rajasthan Royals lock horns with Chennai Super Kings. Peace out!

Mitchell Starc | Player of the Match: It has been a good day. With the ball, in the field and with the bat. It was a fantastic performance by us today. There's no ego in bowlers these days. As a bowler you got to think out of the box. You need to do things you wouldn't normally do. It was nice to contribute in the win today, we move forward from here. Guys know what I am going to do, so you need to think out of the box. As an older player you need to find different ways to get batters out. Tried to bowl different balls today, was pretty effective I think. It's a new set of players, they have been fantastic. You get to play with new guys, it's a great group of players. It's a pretty young group to be fair, looking forward to playing more with them.

Axar Patel | DC captain: I have told before that I am going to lead the side in the same manner. You need to be up with your game. You can't take any game easily, there are 10 good teams playing. We need to focus on our plans and process. Today we were successful in doing so. Plan was to give Starc two overs at the start and two overs at the end, but he was in good rhythm. Hence, I gave him the third over and he was able to pick an important wicket. We have experienced players in the team, they give me suggestions. Sometimes I follow them. Enjoying playing with these players. We are playing at Kotla since many years, we'll have similar plans. Need to assess the conditions after going there.

Tristan Stubbs: It looked a little bit slow, it looked like it was spinning throughout the day and the cutters were really working. Didn't seem like it was easiest?to bat. We kept it simple, put the guys whoever they felt needed to be in the hot-spots. At 10 overs, we were chatting about conserving?our energy?because it was really hot out there. (On the team balance) Really good, Faf up top batted like a Dogpool, he was amazing. The new guys?coming?in have done phenomenally, hopefully we can keep going. I have tried my best, I am trying to learn as much as I can from him (Kevin Pietersen). I ask many questions.

Pat Cummins | Sunrisers Hyderabad captain: We didn't get going, didn't get a score on the board. A few wrong shots, but catches in the deep does happen in this format of the game. I don't think it's a big margin, on another day, you get going with a couple of shots, not everything went our way in the last two games, we can look back and think about different options. Coming into the tournament, everyone was super impressed with him going into the lead-up to the tournament (on Aniket Verma), was fantastic and gave us half a chance, was impressive with the way he went about things (during the net sessions and practice games). It's too early to worry about being two down, hopefully we'll get back going forward, as I said, we need to have a look at a few of our options.

18:42 Local Time, 13:12 GMT, 18:42 IST: Two in two for Delhi Capitals. They pulled off a spectacular run chase against the Lucknow Super Giants as Ashutosh Sharma played a blinder, but today it was a complete and a lot more clinical performance by the entire DC unit. Mitchell Starc's excellent spell helped them restrict a powerhouse like that of SRH for a mediocre total and their batters have done a professional job in completing the run chase on a good batting surface. Although Jake Fraser-McGurk struggled initially, Faf du Plessis' flawless knock helped him from the other end. The experienced South African batsman also notched up a solid fifty before he was dismissed by debutant - Zeeshan Ansari. Jake Fraser-McGurk departed soon, while Rahul played a brief cameo before getting bowled by Ansari. Stubbs and Porel made sure there were no further hiccups, as the Capitals got over the line in the 16th over. Stay around for the presentations..
