DC vs SRH: What was the Turning Point of the Match?

The turning point of the match was early as Sunrisers Hyderabad lost four wickets within the first 25 deliveries. Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan and Nitish Kumar Reddy - all departed cheaply and the SRH just couldn't recover from it.

Their innings got off to a rocky start as Abhishek Sharma was run out for just 1, courtesy of a mix-up with Travis Head. Ishan Kishan managed only 2 before falling to Mitchell Starc, who was on fire with the ball. Nitish Kumar Reddy was sent back without troubling the scorers, also falling to Starc. Travis Head, after a promising start, edged one to KL Rahul behind the stumps, giving Starc his third. That was the body blow, although Klaasen and Aniket put on a valiant effort, it was just not enough for them.
