*DC VS SRH MATCH 40 REVIEW*
*A TOPSY TURVY FIRST INNINGS:*
Abhishek Sharma was at his brutal best, taking on all bowlers like a man with swagger. He used his bat like a sword and amidst wickets falling on the other end, stood firm till the time he stayed at the crease. It was his blistering start that kept the runrate in check and SRH’s hopes in check too. The sunrisers despite his exploits needed strength at the back end and rightly so, Klaasen stepped up to the occasion and bullied the Capitals attack. Marsh was imperially striking at regular intervals but the big muscle man Klaasen kept chipping in with timely hits over the fielders depositing so many into the stands. Courtesy their top drawer effort, the Markram led unit could reach 197 for the loss of 6 wickets.
*SALT-MARSH STRONG BUT WHAT ELSE?:*
As Bhuvi cleaned up Warner first ball, responsibility lied on Marsh’s shoulders as he walked out to bat. And boy, did he bat. He was a notch above impressive and accompanied by the highly talented Salt, the two were motoring along extremely well. At one point, the score had gone past the 11 run per over mark, making it impossible for SRH to control the damage. Right when things were perfect, Markande came in and pulled off a blinder off a catch. It was his above par reflexes that worked right in his favour. This catch changed the complexion of the game. DC could not establish any real threatening partnership after this period. They went down like a pack of cards, starting with Marsh and recover was beyond reach. Though Axar the inform batter tried his level best to bring the total closer, he ultimately failed and DC lost by 9 runs.
