After being asked to bat first, DC got off to a fast start thanks to pyrotechnics from Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel on the powerplay. Jake was especially tough on Avesh Khan, hitting him for 28 runs in the fourth over. He scored his half-century before being dismissed in the following over after failing to catch Ravichandran Ashwin’s full toss.

Porel, Jake’s opening partner, proceeded at the other end and went on to score a superb half-century, while DC lost a pair of fast wickets in the middle overs. Axar Patel (15) and Rishabh Pant (15) received starts but failed to convert, putting the onus on Tristan Stubbs to produce a solid end to the innings.

The South African batsman did not disappoint, smashing three sixes and as many fours on his way to 41 (20), helping the Capitals to a mammoth total of 221. Ravichandran Ashwin claimed three wickets for RR in the bowling department.

During the mid-innings break, he pondered on the activity that occurred during the first innings, saying:

“I would say 220 is about par. We have to bat well because they have Kuldeep and Axar. How we bat against them and in the powerplay will decide (the run-chase). We will get a lot more of those (wickets of full tosses) In modern day T20, those that were good balls earlier are not good balls anymore.”
