Man of the Match- Sameer Rizvi 58* (25)

Sameer Rizvi came into bat in the 10th over after Sediqullah Atal got out. DC was needed to build a partnership and that’s what Rizvi did with Karun Nair. He played a matured innings, rotated the strike well and hit the odd boundaries and sixes when needed. He had an important partnership of 62 with Karun Nair and brought DC back in the game. Rizvi played some audacious shots and played the spinners well too. Rizvi has three fours and five sixes in this match winning knock of 58 not out off 25 balls and most importantly he stayed till the end. 

Top Performers- Shreyas Iyer

Came in the fifth over of the match after a blistering start from the top three batters, Shreyas maintained his good form with the bat. In this all important match, Shreyas led from the front and played a captain’s knock. After the wickets of Inglis and Prabhsimran, Shreyas steadied the ship with Nehal Wadhera and stitched a crucial partnership of 41. In his knock of 53 in just 34 balls, Shreyas has hit five fours and two sixes. In the end he got out in the 17th over playing a captain’s knock.

Marcus Stoinis

Came into bat in the fifteenth over after Shashank Singh got out and scored a game changing innings of 44 in just 16 balls. Having Marcus Stoinis in any team is a luxury because he can strike the ball from the beginning with full power. Stoinis took on Mukesh Kumar in the sixteenth over for a six, six and four over. From there on, the momentum shifted towards the PBKS. Then in the eighteenth over, Stoinis took apart the veteran Mohit Sharma for a 21 run over. Stoinis has shown tremendous ability to strike the ball cleanly in every part of the ground. In his innings of 44, Stoinis has hit 3 boundaries and 4 massive sixes.

Mustafizur Rahman

The Bangladeshi left arm pacer came as the replacement of Mitchell Starc and not allowing the DC team to miss him. As they often call him Fizz. Fizz was right up to the mark with his bowling. He deceived the PBKS openers with his variations. Firstly he got the important wicket of Priyansh Arya with a great short ball. Then in the fifteenth over, he went wide on the crease, created a greater angle from over the wicket and got the big wicket of Shashank Singh.  Then in the very last over he didn’t concede many runs against the likes of Stoinis and took the crucial wicket of Marco Jansen.
