DC captain Axar Patel won the toss and opted to field first. They made five changes in the match: Abishek Porel, Sahil Parakh, David Miller, Auqib Nabi, and Madhav Tiwari, making way for Kuldeep Yadav, Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana, Karun Nair, and T Natarajan. PBKS also made a change, which was a forced one as Lockie Ferguson was out due to a niggle, and Ben Dwarshius made his debut.
The DC bowlers then made a small comeback, picking wickets as Priyansh Arya was dismissed soon for the score of 56 runs, as Madhav Tiwari, the debutant, provided the breakthrough. Shreyas Iyer and Cooper Connolly then stitched a partnership of 83 runs, as the latter was back scoring 36 runs, Shreyas scoring his half-century in 32 balls.
Captain Axar Patel steps up for DC
Coming out to chase, DC lost Abishek Porel early in the second over, with Yash Thakur bamboozling the batter. Then KL Rahul also soon departed, putting the Capitals on the back foot. They lost Sahil Parakh for 13 runs, and the visitors were struggling with the score of 33/3. Then a small 41-run partnership between skipper Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs.
Later, two small cameo knocks from Ashutosh Sharma and Madhav Tiwari, scoring 24 off 10 and 18* off 8 balls, sealed the deal for the Capitals, and Auqib Nabi hit the winning runs, scoring 10 off 2 balls.
I won't beat around the bush- Shreyas Iyer furious after four back-to-back loss
Shreyas Iyer after the loss said, "I won't beat around the bush; I'll just focus on fielding and bowling again. (If he thought 210 was a good score) Absolutely, I feel that it was 30 runs more on this wicket considering how the ball was seaming and there was variable bounce."
Shreyas Iyer finally concluded, "I always say that the hard length - short of a hard length - is the best ball, especially when a new batsman is coming in. It's not easy to hit because if you keep repeating those balls, at least one ball gives a chance of mis-hitting and you can get a wicket. We've been short of planning."
