SRH 77-0 (6 ovs) vs Delhi

Left-arm spinner Axar Patel comes into the attack, in place of Ashwin, who went for 13 runs in his opening over.

A single each to Warner and Saha before the former hits a short ball into the covers as he is unable to find the gap.

Warner then flicks the fourth ball wide of the fielder at long-on for two runs before he smashes a wide delivery through the covers for a four and gets a single from the last ball.

Rabada is back into the attack as Warner continues his fiery start. He clubs the first ball over the fielder at mid-on for a four and then smashes the next over the fielder at covers for another boundary.

Two balls later, Warner swings a length ball over midwicket for a six before he steers a wide delivery behind point for another to race to his fifty from just 25 balls to celebrate his birthday in some style.

The last ball is again wide as Warner guides it past short thirdman for another boundary as Sunrisers race to 77 for no loss in six overs.

Warner has blasted his way to 54 from 26 balls to become the only player to hit a fifty inside the Powerplay this season, while Saha has hit 22 from 10 balls.

Rabada has been hit for 22 runs in the sixth over, with a total of 37 runs conceded in two overs, including seven boundary hits in 12 balls.
