Two in two for Delhi Capitals. They pulled off a spectacular run chase against the Lucknow Super Giants as Ashutosh Sharma played a blinder, but today it was a complete and a lot more clinical performance by the entire DC unit. Mitchell Starc's excellent spell helped them restrict a powerhouse like that of SRH for a mediocre total and their batters have done a professional job in completing the run chase on a good batting surface. Although Jake Fraser-McGurk struggled initially, Faf du Plessis' flawless knock helped him from the other end. The experienced South African batsman also notched up a solid fifty before he was dismissed by debutant - Zeeshan Ansari. Jake Fraser-McGurk departed soon, while Rahul played a brief cameo before getting bowled by Ansari. Stubbs and Porel made sure there were no further hiccups, as the Capitals got over the line in the 16th over. Stay around for the presentations..
DC vs SRH: After some great exhibition of 9 games so far, here we are in the game no.10 where, Delhi Capitals (DC) taking on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Vizag (Visakhapatnam). After a magnificent game against LSG, DC will come positive into this game whereas after a shocking defeat against LSG, the “Orange Army” would look to bounce back hard into this game.
