IPL 2019: Eliminator, Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad – Statistical Highlights

The Sunrisers Hyderabad’s luck didn’t last long as they were knocked out by Delhi Capitals in the Eliminator that went down the wire. Sunrisers got to 162/8 with contributions coming in from all their batsmen. The Delhi franchise got off to a flyer as Prithvi Shaw struck a 38-ball 56. The SRH bowlers brought their team back into the game with wickets in the middle overs. However, Rishabh Pant’s 21-ball 49 at the death overs buckled up SRH’s chances of moving further.

Here are all the major stats and numbers recorded during a thrilling Eliminator in Visakhapatnam

A first for Delhi

Obstructing the field

2 – Amit Mishra became only the 2nd player to be dismissed obstructing the field in the IPL. The first player was Yusuf Pathan during the 2013 season game against PWI while playing for the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Shaw levels with Gill

Yet another duck for Rashid
