Delhi Capitals (DC) Highlights
Delhi Capitals (DC) ascended to bat first and got 168-2 on the scoreboard—David Warner with a 37, Sarfaraz with a 30, and good innings from Pural and Axar.

DC has some delicate opening batters in the form of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw. The ball was moving all over the place in the first over, giving hard to the wicketkeeper, Wridhiman Saha. Warner opened up in the first few overs but could not withstand short balls. Thereby, he got dismissed by a beautiful ball by Joseph Alzarri.
In Joseph’s next bowl to Rilee Russouw, the ball hit right on the top of the bat. It went into the hands of Rahul Tewatia—a commendable catch by Tewatia, helping Alzarri to get his second consecutive wicket in this match. After that, DC started to show some muscle until Rashid Khan began bowling. They could not stick for to log as Rashid took three wickets tonight.
In contrast, Axar Patel and Abishekh Porel were impressive in the death overs. Axar could not stand long in front of Mohammad Shami’s accurate bowling. In the end, Hakim Aman Khan struck the last ball of the first half of the IPL match, 7 to four!
