Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad clashed swords against each other at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. The match was a humdinger of a contest as SRH prevailed over DC but only by a slim margin of nine runs. The fans had got their money's worth even though DC were not able to get a win on home turf. The last game at Hyderabad between the two sides was also a close encounter.
Though the match was a memorable one, it was marred by a scuffle between the fans in the stands. Two groups of fans got into a very bad fight that continued for quite some time. Neither side was willing to compromise. it was a really bad case of people wanting to beat each other to no end. A lot of abuses and cuss words were shouted out even as people were recording the incident on video which was not the best thing to do.

Mayank Markande bowled a wonderful spell of 2-20 for SRH
Coming to the match, it was a cliffhanger of a contest. SRH won the toss and opted to bat first. Abhishek Sharma played a brilliant knock off 67 off 36 balls with 12 fours and one six. Heinrich Klassen played a superb innings of 53 off 27 balls with two fours and four sixes. The South African got able support from Abdul Samad, who made a valuable 28 off 21 balls with one four and two sixes.
Mitchell Marsh was DC's best bowler on the park as he scalped 4-27 in his four overs to put SRH in a spot of bother at one stage. DC fired with the bat. Marsh made 63 off 39 balls with one four and six sixes. Phil Salt also made a good 63 off 39 balls with nine fours. But DC erred in their decision making and sent Axar Patel late in the batting order at number 7 which cost them the match.
Mayank Markande was the best bowler for SRH as he picked up 2-20 in his four over spell. It was a wonderful bowling spell by the wrist-spinner. He has been sensational for SRH so far in IPL 2023. SRH can breathe slightly easy after this win against DC.
