Sunrisers move to No. 2
What a performance. They have five wins in seven games now, and there's plenty of time left this season for their batters to hoover up more records. For a while today, it looked like they weren't just gunning for 300 but perhaps even 400, and it almost felt anticlimactic that they only made their third-highest total of this season.
But it would have been the highest total in all IPL games if it had happened last season, which just tells you how far SRH have lifted the ceiling for batting teams this year. They've followed it up with an excellent bowling display too, and they've bowled Capitals out for a symbolic 199, with Nitish Kumar Reddy getting Rishabh Pant caught on the hook to finish things off.
