Kane Williamson's fighting fifty vs Delhi in Qualifier 2

The Men in Orange might have lost the all-important Delhi vs Hyderabad match, however, they gave a gallant fight to Delhi after being in a precarious situation at one point of time in their innings. Hyderabad were chasing a mammoth target of 190 and lost its top three batters (David Warner, Priyam Garg and Manish Pandey) inside the powerplay itself. It seemed like the match was in Delhi's grasp completely but Kane Williamson ensured that his side were still in the hunt to make it to the final.

The New Zealander first formed a 46-run partnership with Jason Holder and followed it up with another 57-run partnership with youngster Abdul Samad to keep Hyderabad in the game. Williamson kept the scoreboard ticking, as well as, fetched an odd boundary every over and made sure that the required run rate never went beyond control.

In the end, Hyderabad fell short by 17 runs and thus ended their hopes of qualifying for the final.
