Sunrisers Hyderabad thrashed Delhi Capitals by 88 runs in the Dream11 Indian Premier League, in Dubai on Tuesday.

It was the birthday boy David Warner (66) and Wriddhiman Saha (87) who together put on 107 runs and went on to score the highest runs in powerplay which sparkled their victory.

What a strange season Sunrisers Hyderabad are having. Clearly a team good enough to win like this, but have found themselves losing far easier games at the end. This will feel good. Not so much for Delhi Capitals, who now have three losses in a row after dominating the table. They finish outside the top two. Sunrisers stay alive with one of the most comprehensive performances from any team this season.

Delhi Capitals' skipper

Shreyas Iyer was not happy man as he said that it was definitely a big loss, but you can't get bogged down at this point of time. " We still have two games. One win is all we need, we've been waiting for that since the last three games. I think we lost it in the power play itself, when they got 70-odd runs".

And went on to add, "We've been doing amazing before these three matches, and it shouldn't get to our heads".

The man behind this big victory for Hyderabad was none other than Rashid Khan who finished with an impressive spell of three for seven in his four over-4 spell.

"Winning the game was the most important,” " said Rashid Khan.

Wriddhiman Saha stamped his class with a 45ball 87 while captain David Warner hit a quick-fire half-century as Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a mammoth 219 for two.
