Mitchell Starc’s impressive IPL comeback continued as he shone for Delhi Capitals with a maiden T20 fifer in their victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad. Starc, who returned to the league with Kolkata Knight Riders last season after an eight-year absence, is off to a promising start with DC. His early breakthroughs helped DC restrict SRH to a competitive total of 163, with Aniket Verma’s aggressive batting adding crucial runs for the opposition.
In response, Faf du Plessis led the charge for DC with a quickfire fifty, steering them towards victory despite Zeeshan Ansari’s three-fer for SRH. Despite Ansari’s efforts, DC secured their second win in as many games at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium.
Starc’s ability to swing the ball early on troubled SRH’s top order, leading to key dismissals including Ishan Kishan and Travis Head. Verma’s aggressive approach and Klaasen’s support helped SRH post a competitive total, but it was not enough to stop DC’s strong batting lineup.
Overall, it was a convincing win for Delhi Capitals, showcasing their strong form early in the tournament. Starc’s impressive performance and du Plessis’ aggressive batting were crucial in securing the victory for DC in their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
