Forced to bat first by Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant after losing the toss, Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma forged a formidable partnership, amassing 125 runs in the powerplay.
Although Sharma narrowly missed out on a half-century by just four runs, Head’s explosive innings of 89 off 32 balls laid the groundwork, complemented by Shahbaz Ahmed’s fifty, propelling SRH to a commanding total of 266/7 in their allotted 20 overs.
In reply, the Capitals aimed for a similar aggressive start, but despite losing early wickets, the momentum persisted with Fraser-McGurk leading the charge.
In the third over, Fraser-McGurk unleashed a flurry of boundaries, capitalizing on a fuller delivery outside the off stump from Sundar, lofting it effortlessly over long-on for a six.
He followed it up with a boundary through cover and then capitalized on Sundar’s shorter length, dispatching the ball over long-off with a powerful swing akin to a baseball hit, concluding the over with consecutive sixes.
