Chasing a 130-run target, Sunrisers got off to a brilliant start on the back of 64-run opening stand between David Warner and Jonny Bairstow. Despite losing half their side for the next 67 runs, SRH managed to seal the chase in the penultimate over.
Coming in to bat at No. 7 in the 17th over, Nabi ended up scoring 17* (9) with the help of two fours and a six to score the winning runs for Hyderabad.
After Hyderabad captain Bhuvneshwar Kumar won the toss and put the hosts in to bat, Delhi ended up scoring a below par 129-8 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. Captain Shreyas Iyer top-scored for his team scoring 43 (41) with the help of three fours and a six.
With bowling figures of 4-0-21-2, SRH all-rounder Mohammad Nabi was the pick of the bowlers for the second consecutive time for his team. Having dismissed Shikhar Dhawan (12) and Rishabh Pant (5) before the halfway mark in the first innings, the 34-year old cricketer generated a major impact during the match.
