Jake Frazer McGurk Stars For DC
Put to bat first in the first match of the Saturday doubleheader, DC openers went beast mode as Jake Frazer McGurk and Abishek Porel fired Delhi to a great start against the 5-time champions. While Frazer McGurk started with a 15-ball fifty on the day, Abishek too kept contributing with good shots from time to time.
Delhi Capitals reached their highest powerplay total ever on the day with the score at 92/0 at the end of 6 overs. Even skipper Hardik Pandya was thrashed on the day as McGurk and Porel set the stage for the hosts to post another 200+ total. McGurk departed after an unbelievable knock of a 27-ball 84.
With Rishabh Pant coming onto the crease at 180/3 at 13.4 overs, the Delhi fans were anticipating another blazing knock from the skipper.
Pant started where he left off in the previous game and took DC to 200 within 17 overs. With Pant departing at 29, Tristan Stubbs also helped Delhi post a formidable total in the 1st innings as his 25-ball 48* took Delhi to an impressive total of 257/4 in their 20 overs.
