The Delhi Capitals got off to an amazing start after having lost the toss as opener Prithvi Shaw looked in a fine touch having smashed 15 runs off just 10 balls. However, after a steady powerplay, the Delhi Capitals ended up losing as many as four wickets of Manish Pandey, Yash Dhull, Rovman Powell and Lalit Yadav in quick time. But the pair of DC captain David Warner and Axar Patel batted really well as runs started flowing at an impressive rate. Axar contributed with an excellent innings of 54 runs off only 25 deliveries that included 5 sixes and 4 fours while Warner scored his third half-century of IPL 2023 but at a slow strike-rate.
