Delhi Capitals on Sunday pulled off one of the most breathtaking heists of all time. Every time they looked to falter and end up with an embarrassing figure, someway someone pulled things back in order. When Mayank Agarwal single-handedly dragged Kings XI Punjab from brink of an embarrassing defeat in their IPL 2020 opener at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday to realising an impressive win, Marcus Stoinis pulled things back with the same sheer brilliance he had revived Delhi's faltering innings with the bat, to enforce a Super Over. And then, KXIP incurred a disastrous Super Over with Kagiso Rabada doing his magic, requiring only three balls to end their struggle. Delhi required only two balls to get over the line and hand themselves an astounding escape.
Stoinis smashed 53 off 21 balls to drag DC to 157/8 and when KXIP needed one to win off the last three balls, he took two consecutive wickets to take the game into the Super Over.
