NEW DELHI (AP) — Another explosive start by Travis Head set up Sunrisers Hyderabad to crush Delhi Capitals by 67 runs in the Indian Premier League on Saturday. Head and Abhishek Sharma combined for 125 without loss in the first six overs — the highest score in an IPL power play — and Sharma was out two balls later for 46 off 12 balls. The openers made 131 in a mere 38 balls. Head continued his onslaught to 89 off 32 until he was caught at long on in the ninth over at 154-3. The visitors finished at 266-7, their third 250-plus total this season, and bowled out Delhi for 199 in 19.1 overs at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Hyderabad moved to second on the table while Delhi’s fifth loss in eight games gave it the worst run rate in the league at minus-1.303. The Sunrisers openers roused the Delhi crowd into a frenzy as they rained sixes into the stands and fours into the boundaries. |
