9.15pm Phew, that was something wasn't it? Travis Head went berserk in the powerplay, with Abhishek matching him for aggression. They piled on 125 in the powerplay! Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets in quick succession and Axar got Klaasen to slow Sunrisers down a little but they kept going through Nitish and Shahbaz and then eventually Samad to finish with another massive total. The joint-most sixes in an IPL innings today, equalling the record of... you guessed it, Sunrisers themselves. From their very last game! Now, how will Sunrisers go defending this? MI and RCB gave them a scare, can they see out a comfortable win today? Or will Capitals put up a fight in the capital? Join Sreshth in just a bit to find out!

Abhishek Sharma: "I think we targeted more than that. After six overs we decided a bit more, but I am really happy with the team. Today there was a message to assess the wicket but Travis did really well. It's been a pleasure from day one. I have been following him from the last one year. We are the lucky ones to have him in our team. [On batting with Head helping him play free] Obviously that's one of the point that you don't have any pressure from the other end."

Mukesh Kumar to Shahbaz Ahmed, 1 run, OUT, Low full toss on middle, chips it down the ground and they look to run two. Oops, Cummins has slipped at the striker's end as Shahbaz sprints down for the second. Cummins can't recover and he will have to walk back

Stat nugget from Sampath: Sunrisers Hyderabad hit 98 sixes in 7 matches this year, that's already the highest number of sixes they have in any IPL season. Previous highest was 97 sixes in the 2022 edition.
