Mitchell Starc Grabs 5-Wicket Haul As Delhi Capitals Thrash SRH

Faf Du Plessis' excellent fifty and Mitchell Starc's five-wicket haul were the lead acts in Delhi Capitals' comprehensive seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL match here on Sunday.. Du Plessis (50, 27b, 3x4, 3x6) added 81 runs with his opening partner Jake Fraser-McGurk (38, 32b) as the Capitals overhauled Hyderabad's inadequate 163 all out in 16 overs, for their second win on the trot. Once DC openers made a quick start off the block, the result was never in doubt, but their approach was vastly different..

Du Plessis wound the clock back with some stunning shots, such as a straight six off Pat Cummins..

But at other end, McGurk was struggling for his timing, partly because of his exaggerated back-lift and partly because of his desire to hit all the ball out of the park..

However, his senior partner was willing to do the heavy-lifting and brought up his fifty in 26 balls..
