The Delhi Capitals had a disappointing start to their IPL campaign as they faced defeat in their first game against Lucknow Super Giants. However, they will look to bounce back strongly in their upcoming match against the Titans. The Titans, on the other hand, have started their campaign on a high note with an excellent win against the Super Kings in their opening game of the season. Let’s take a closer look at their performances and what we can expect in the upcoming match.
The Titans opted to chase in their opening game and their bowlers were expensive in the powerplay and middle overs. However, they made a strong comeback and pulled things back nicely at the backend. Mohammad Shami, Alzarri Joseph, and Rashid Khan all bowled exceptionally well and picked up two wickets each.
DC, on the other hand, opted to bowl first in their opening game and their bowlers were decent in the powerplay. However, they were expensive in the middle overs and struggled to take wickets. Chetan Sakariya and Khaleel Ahmed were the only bowlers who managed to pick up two wickets each. With the bat, DC’s batters had the intent but failed to build crucial partnerships. David Warner and Rilee Rossouw were the top scorers with 56 and 30 runs respectively.
DC’s loss in their first game was a wake-up call for them and they will look to bounce back strongly in their upcoming match against the Titans. They will have to improve their bowling performance in the middle overs and take wickets at regular intervals. With the bat, they will have to build partnerships and score big runs to post a challenging total on the board.
