Sanju Samson was in a league of his own, smashing an unbeaten 87 off 52 balls. He toyed with the DC bowlers, finding gaps at will and making a 156-run chase look like a warm-up session! 👑

Noor Ahmad turned the game in the middle overs, picking up 2 wickets for just 22 runs. His back-to-back breakthroughs broke the spine of the DC batting order before they could explode.

Akeal Hosein was incredibly stingy, conceding only 19 runs in his 4 overs while bagging the big wicket of KL Rahul. He set the tone early with 14 dot balls! 🎯

Sameer Rizvi was the only bright spot for Delhi, fighting a lonely battle with an unbeaten 40 off 24. His late hitting saved DC from a complete total collapse.

Tristan Stubbs added a crucial 38 to steady the ship after DC was reeling at 69/5. He showed some grit, but the lack of support from the top order left the bowlers with too little to defend.

The Delhi top four crumbled for just 59 runs combined. On a pitch where Samson feasted, DC’s lack of intent early on was the deciding factor in their 8-wicket loss. 📉
