Among the standout moments of the match was the remarkable performance by young Matheesha Pathirana, whose searing yorkers dismantled the DC batting lineup, sending Mitchell Marsh and Tristan Stubbs packing in a single over.

Prithvi Shaw and David Warner provide a solid start to DC

Winning the toss and opting to bat first. Prithvi Shaw (43) and David Warner (52) provided a solid foundation to Delhi Capitals by unleashing their attacking prowess. Shaw’s aggressive stroke play combined with Warner’s experience unleashed a beastly onslaught on the CSK bowlers, setting the stage for a high-scoring encounter.

Rishabh Pant further bolstered the innings with a well-crafted fifty, guiding his team to a competitive total of 191/5. Pant’s ability to find gaps and accelerate the scoring rate added valuable runs to DC’s total, putting pressure on the CSK bowling attack.
