IPL 2020: Qualifier 2, DC vs SRH – Match Impact Ratings

Delhi Capitals got the better of Sunrisers Hyderabad for the first time this season as the Shreyas Iyer-led team sealed their place in the final with a 17-run win. Shikhar Dhawan’s 78 from only 50 balls at the top and Kagiso Rabada’s 4-wicket haul were the standout individual performances for Delhi during the DC vs SRH alongside Marcus Stoinis’ complete all-round show. Kane Williamson’s late efforts alongside Abdul Samad in the second half of the chase brought back the hopes of SRH for a couple of overs.

Williamson got to a 67 off 45 balls while Samad made 33 from only 16 by taking on the Delhi Capitals’ speedsters. The youngster earned the highest impact rating for the Sunrisers Hyderabad during the DC vs SRH with +.12.29. On the other hand, Kagiso Rabada began his four overs by cleaning up David Warner in the very first ball and returned to claim three wickets in his final over that sealed the match. The South African pacer took three wickets in three successive legitimate deliveries but missed out on a hat-trick as he bowled a wide before his 3rd wicket.
