IPL 2023: Mitchell Marsh's All-round Show in Vain, Sunrisers Hyderabad Beat Delhi Capitals by 9 Runs

Delhi Capitals’ two-game winning streak came to an end despite all-round heroics from Mitchell Marsh who picked up 4-wickets and scored 63 off 39 balls but Sunrisers Hyderabad registered a 9-run victory over David Warner’s side. Sunrisers remain in eighth place after their win but have 6 points now from 8 matches, whereas DC remain rooted to the foot of the IPL 2023 points table.

It was Hyderabad’s first win over Delhi in their five previous meetings and a crucial win which keeps SRH’s slim hopes of making it into the IPL playoffs alive.

Axar Patel smashed an unbeaten 29-run knock but couldn’t salvage a win for his side with questions being asked about why the left-hander is batting lower in the batting order.
