Hyderabad vs Delhi, Live Score, Match 31, Indian Premier League, 2026

Axar Patel to Travis Head, OUT! CAUGHT! Head mishits one straight to Rizvi and has to walk back. Length dragged back a bit, around middle and leg, Travis rocks back and looks for that pull over the fielder at the deep mid-wicket region. Head fails to get enough power or height behind it and ends up finding Sameer Rizvi in that region. Rizvi makes no mistake and takes a good catch under pressure to break this opening stand of 97 runs. 

Nitish Rana to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! ISHAN KISHAN IS RUN OUT! Too much is happening out there at the moment. Flighted ball, full and angled into the leg pole. Abhishek Sharma stays leg side of the ball, reaches for it and drives it straight back. Nitish Rana goes low to his left on the follow-through to make a stop, but the ball deflects off his fingers onto the stumps at the non-striker's end, and Ishan Kishan is backing up out of his crease. A very unfortunate way to go, but DC now have a breakthrough.

Dilshan Madushanka to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the fielder and Dilshan Madushanka gets one over his countryman. Madushanka changes the seam position a bit, bowling it as a scrambled seam, and serves it on a good length outside off. Pathum Nissanka charges down the pitch and backs away before giving it a wallop. However, he hits it flat and straight to mid off, where the substitute fielder Liam Livingstone pouches it well just to his right. The Capitals lose an early wicket here.

Sakib Hussain to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT! An innocuous delivery, but it still fetches Sakib Hussain a wicket. That's how the game goes sometimes. KL Rahul throws his head back in disappointment. Hussain gets the length wrong as he slips in a full toss, on the pads, at thigh height. Rahul picks it up off the pads but picks out Abhishek Sharma at deep square leg. Sharma gets forward and takes a low catch. The 86-run stand has been broken. DC are now 107/2, chasing 243 runs.

Eshan Malinga to Nitish Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! SRH go bang-bang and Abhishek Sharma seems to be everywhere right now. Eshan Malinga brings out the slower one, bowls it on a hard length and over middle and leg. Nitish Rana backs away and lines it up but gets the big shot high on the bat. The ball sails over mid on and Sharma from long on runs forward to take a sliding catch. Rana departs after a solid knock but DC lose two set batters in quick succession, needing 136 more off 59 balls.

Harsh Dubey to Sameer Rizvi, OUT! CAUGHT! Dilshan Madushanka just about hangs on. Harsh Dubey has his second wicket. Full and going across the right-hander from over the wicket. Rizvi sinks to a knee and has a slog across the line. He gets no power on the shot and drags it straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. Madushanka bends and snatches at it slightly as he looks to take the catch close to his chest. The ball nearly pops out, but he manages to cling to it. Lungi Ngidi is the new man in.

Eshan Malinga to David Miller, OUT! TIMBER! Eshan Malinga has just bamboozled David Miller on the very first ball, and he's pumped up with that wicket. Another slower ball, short of a good length and on off and middle. The ball grips a bit and nips in. Miller stays put and just half-heartedly has a push at it. The ball takes the inside edge and knocks over the bails. 107/1 has now become 107/4 for the Capitals, and Malinga is on a hat-trick.

Eshan Malinga to Tristan Stubbs, OUT! CAUGHT! One reverse ramp too many for Tristan Stubbs. Eshan Malinga leaps in delight. Wicket number three for the Sri Lankan. Eshan takes pace off and goes into the surface, outside off. Tristan shuffles across to get closer to the line and looks to go over short third with the reverse scoop. He has no pace to work with and ends up spooning it towards short third, where Sakib Hussain moves to his left and takes a safe catch. The 59-run stand comes to an end. DC are now 5 down for 166, needing 77 runs in 25 balls.

Eshan Malinga to Ashutosh Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! Ashutosh has been outfoxed by Malinga, who finishes his spell in the best possible fashion. Serves the off-cutter, on a length, outside off. Ashutosh Sharma reaches out but fails to pick the change of pace. He swings early and gets it only as far as long on, where Aniket Verma runs in off the ropes and slides to complete the catch. End of another impressive outing from Eshan. Finishes with figures of 4-0-32-4

Harsh Dubey to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! One left-arm finger spinner gets the better of the other. On a good length, a bit of turn, on middle. Patel looks to go with the turn. He clears the front leg, but the ball comes on slower than he expected. Axar plays it well in front of his body as he swings across. He holes out to deep mid-wicket, where Nitish Kumar Reddy gobbles it up.

Harsh Dubey to Lungi Ngidi, OUT! TAKEN! Sunrisers Hyderabad complete a 47-run win and make it three victories in a row. Full and speared in from around the wicket by Dubey. Ngidi goes for the slog sweep. He does not quite get hold of it. Dilshan Madushanka sprints to his left at deep mid-wicket and stretches his hands out in that direction. He completes the catch neatly this time. Harsh Dubey finishes with 3 wickets to his name.
