After SRH failed miserably with the bat in last two outings, they included Kane Williamson and youngster Abdul Samad to strengthen up their middle and lower middle-order for the match. Otherwise, the team was drastically falling apart. The inclusions shown immediate impact as Kane and Samad both scored 53 off just 33 balls to help SRH finish on high. In the beginning, though, Johnny Bairstow and David Werner put up a combined score of 98.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals, in the second innings, find it hard to score on a slow pitch that became difficult to play with each ball bowled. Shikhar Dhawan was the one scoring 30+ run but it did not fuel anything. Eventually, chasing the target of 163, DC fell short by 15 runs to concede their first loss in IPL 2020.
