IPL 2024: Travis-Abhishek Fireworks, Natarajan’s Four-fer Propel SRH To Big 67-win Over DC
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Sunrisers Hyderabad continued to set lofty standards of ultra-attacking batting in IPL 2024 as Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma brought an out-of-the-world hurricane of dazzling stroke-play to set the base for a 67-run win over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
On a placid pitch, Head (82 off 39 balls) and Abhishek (46 off 12 balls) left everyone breathless and speechless by smashing 24 boundaries in their 131-run opening stand off just 38 balls as SRH smashed a gigantic 266/7, the fourth-highest total in IPL and breaching 250+ mark for the third time.
In reply, Natarajan fired his yorkers well to pick a brilliant 4-19 as DC were bowled out for 199. Their lone bright spot was young Jake Fraser-McGurk hitting fastest fifty of the season in 15 balls.
