Saha was brought into the side to keep wickets as SRH made three changes and left out England wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow who made way for Kane Williamson. 

Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer won the toss and invited SRH to bat at the Dubai International Stadium. 

Saha and Warner set the tone early with some exquisite shots. The opening pair notched a 100-run stand in the 10th over. 

Ravichandran Ashwin provided Delhi with the first breakthrough by outfoxing Warner.

Saha was looking set for a hundred but in a bid to accelerate, he mishit one to Shreyas Iyer and was out for 87.

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 mistimed a flick shot off Sandeep Sharma. 

Promoted

Marcus Stoinis and Shimron Hetmyer were sent up the order to up the scoring rate but they couldn’t get going. 

Rishabh Pant top scored with a knock of 36 as Delhi were bowled out for 131 in 19 overs.
