Head and Sharma set up Hyderabad to blow away Delhi by 67 runs in IPL
NEW DELHI (AP) — Another explosive start by Travis Head set up Sunrisers Hyderabad to crush Delhi Capitals by 67 runs in the Indian Premier League on Saturday.

Head continued his onslaught to 89 off 32 until he was caught at long on in the ninth over at 154-3.
The visitors finished at 266-7, their third 250-plus total this season, and bowled out Delhi for 199 in 19.1 overs at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

The Sunrisers openers roused the Delhi crowd into a frenzy as they rained sixes into the stands and fours into the boundaries.
