A resolute team effort then helped Delhi Capitals stay alive in the tournament with a five-wicket win \u2013 the 194-run target chased with four balls to spare \u2013 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Asked to bat, all eyes were on out-of-form Yashasvi Jaiswal. As his partner Vaisbhav Sooryavanshi began his innings with a six (the sixth time he\u2019s done so this season), Jaiswal too began with intent, smacking Starc for three crisp boundaries. But his stay ended soon after, with Lungi Ngidi outfoxed him with a well-disguised slower ball, which he top-edged to Starc at short third man.<\/p>\n
After RR handed Jurel and Sooryavanshi early lifelines, Madhav Tiwari scooped up the latter as he miscued a slower ball with David Miller covering 24 meters to his right to pull off a diving catch at long-on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
DC\u2019s fielding woes then resurfaced to let control slip, Tristan Stubbs failing to get his fingers under the ball at long-on after Riyan Parag\u2019s tennis forehand-like swipe \u2013 marking the side\u2019s 22nd dropped catch of the campaign.<\/p>\n
The consequences were instant. Parag tore into Axar Patel with a pair of towering sixes before taking apart Mukesh Kumar for 23 runs, racing to a 23-ball half-century. Starc then pegged momentum back, dismissing Parag, Donovan Ferreira, and Ravi Singh in quick succession, triggering a drop in the run rate which even a fighting Jurel couldn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n
