Was it great over the victory for Delhi Capitals?
Here is how he developed super over madness in Delhi …
Super shifts Rajasthan Royals:
Ball 1: Starc to Hetmyer – without running.
What a fiery beginning! The Starc fires in full delivery that returns to Hetmyer, who retreated. It’s off palm and Hetmyer is missing a swing. Dot Ball.
RR 0/0 (0.1)
Ball 2: Starc to Hetmyer – Four!
The Starc lacks the length of Yorker and there is no one in the deep middle goal. Hetmyer remains back and slogates it into the gap. Limit! Even Jaiswal applauds from the secondary clock.
RR 4/0 (0.2)
Ball 3: Starc To Hetmyer – 1 Run.
Low full throwing in the middle, hammer down for a long time. Just a single.
RR 5/0 (0.3)
Ball 4 (No-ball): Starc to Parag-four!
Low full throwing outdoors and Parag throws hands. The strong outer edge flies over the back for four. But there are more of them – the Starc crossed the landing with his back leg on the return folds. This is a free and free hit!
RR 10/0 (0.3)
Ball 4 (Hit FREE): Starc to Parag-Rock-Out! No running.
Chaos! Parag, full on the side of the leg, lacks a swing and diverted from the pillows to Kl rahul. Hetmyer calls for a suicide run and the oldc collects throwing to remove Parag. The confusion is ruled and Rajasthan will lose the goal of free intervention.
RR 10/1 (0.4)
Delhi Capitals need 12 runs to win
Delhi Capitals’ Super Over Innings:
Ball 1: Sandeep to Rahul – 2 Runs.
Short and slower outside, withdrew into a deep middle goal. Jaiswal’s throw is out of target and high, which allows KL to safely dive back. A close call!
DC 2/0 (0.1) – Need 10
Ball 2: Sandeep to Rahul – Four!
Great shot! Rahul expects slower, retreats away and cuts backwards. One reflection and over the rope. Smart launching.
DC 6/0 (0.2) – Need 6
Ball 3: Sandeep on Rahul – 1 run.
Very full off, led to the back point. Just a single.
DC 7/0 (0.3) – Need 5
Ball 4: Sandeep on Stubbs – Six! Game!
Stubbs ends in style! Predictable slower short balls outside and Stubbs release it through the deep middle goal. Massive hit and DC wins with two balls to be modified. The pump fist, roar and celebrations result from both Stubbs and Kl Rahul.
DC 13/0 (0.4) – Delhi Capitals win super over!
