Nitish, Shahbaz Steadied The ship for SRH

DC Tried Hard But Fell Well Short Of Hyderabad’s Target In The End
DC came out with an intent in a run chase and lost both the openers due to that. But Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abhishek Porel went hard against the SRH bowlers. At one stage, they found themselves at 109 for 2 in just 6.5 overs. But Mayank Markande got Fraser-McGurk on the last ball of the 7th over and there was no big partnership for DC. They didn’t come close to SRH’s target in the end. Rishabh Pant also struggles at the crease and scored 44 runs off 35 balls.
