“Just backed my execution, running with a clear plan. Sometimes it comes off, a bit of luck goes a long way. It was a fantastic game, happy to get on the right side,” Starc said at the post-match presentation..
When asked if he thought about changing his plan, he said, “I’ve played long enough that everyone knows what I’m going to do. You can play that over ten more times and do ten different things and it can go different ways.”.
Batting first, Delhi Capitals scored 188 for five. In reply, Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 off 27 balls) and Nitish Rana (51 off 28 balls) scored brisk half-centuries to lead RR’s charge before a brilliant final over by Starc took the game to the super over with the visitors finishing at 188 for four in 20 overs.
On RR’s choice of batters for super over, Starc said, “Was a bit of a surprise to see left handers come in with my angle as the ball was tailing back in. Got one wrong there with the side line no ball, but we had the batting depth then to chase that down..
Speaking about the team atmosphere, Starc said, “It’s a good mix of youth and experience. Axar is leading nicely and we have Faf and KL and Stubbs who have been around for a while. Kuldeep has been fantastic. And success helps and tonight will definitely help.” PTI AH AH KHS
