Desk Janakantha Delhi Capitals has started their title campaign with a victory in the IPL. In their first match of the tournament, they lost to Kings XI Punjab in a super final.
Bollywood actress Preity Zinta’s Kings XI Punjab team quickly overcame the initial momentum to chase down the winning target. Captain Rahul was fired for 21 runs. After that, Punjab started beating. However, Mayanka Agarwal’s hitting at Daputa ended the match in a super final. Mayank played a dazzling 69-run inning. Punjab lost 6 wickets and scored 156 runs. However, Punjab couldn’t take advantage of the super over. So they have to leave the field with the taste of the fare.
Previously, Delhi lost the draw and chose to hit at the International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. They lost three wickets in 13 races. Shreyas Ayyar’s team was unable to stand in front of the bowling alley of pacemaker Mohammad Shamir. After quickly taking three wickets, Delhi turned around with Captain Shreyas and Rishav Pant’s bat. These two have a great pair of 63 runs. Shreyas played 39 balls and scored 39 runs. And his partner scored 31 runs. However, Marcus Stoinis’ stormy hitting eventually allowed Delhi to achieve a fight score. Stoinis was short of 53 of 21 balls. Delhi managed to score 156 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in the 20 assigned overs. Mohammad Shami took 3 plots just for Punjab. Sheldon Cottrell took 2 windows and Robbie took 1 window.
Short score:
Delhi Capitals: 156/6 in 20 overs (Stoin 53, Shreyas 39, Pant 31; Shami 3/15, Cuterel 2/24)
Kings XI Punjab: 158/6 in 20 overs (Agarwal 69, Rahul 21; Rabada 2/26, Ashwin 2/2)
Result: Delhi won the super.
