SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) failed to book a berth in the final of IPL 2020 as they suffered a 17-run defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC) in the second Qualifier on Sunday. After electing to bat first, the Delhi batting unit, bolstered by the fresh opening duo of Marcus Stoinis and Shikhar Dhawan, started off well.

Stoinis and Dhawan stitched 86-run opening stand and guided their side to a robust start. After Stoinis' departure, Dhawan went on to score 78 off 50 deliveries before getting out to a misjudged LBW call. Shimron Hetmyer provided DC with some late fireworks by smashing 42 off 22 balls as the side managed to post a daunting 189 on the scoreboard.
In response, SRH suffered an early setback in the form of skipper David Warner. Wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals as Kagiso Rabada took four while Stoinis scalped three. Kane Williamson played a vital 67-run knock and kept his side in the game. However, he failed to steer SRH past the finishing line as they managed to post just 172 runs on the board.

Following SRH's departure from the tournament, Williamson said that the guys can be proud of their effort, considering the on-going IPL season turned out to be a nail-biting contest. SRH had progressed into the Qualifier by thumping Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by six wickets in the Eliminator.
