Wriddhiman Saha scored a match winning half-century to make his team SunRisers Hyderabad win over Delhi Capitals. He scored 87 runs off just 45 deliveries, hitting 12 boundaries and two sixes.
Saha put on a century stand with SRH skipper David Warner, who also scored a half-century.
After the win, he also took Twitter and posted a few pictures from the game and wrote “If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade! Congratulations to the entire @SunRisers team!”

A cameo from Manish Pandey then powered SRH to an imposing total of 219 for two from their allotted 20 overs.
In reply, Delhi Capitals lost Shikhar Dhawan for a duck as he miss timed a flick shot off Sandeep Sharma.
Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer were sent up the order to up the scoring rate but they couldn’t get going.
