A humdinger indeed, with Delhi Capitals sneaking past Rajasthan Royals after a Super Over

What an absolutely wild finish — vintage IPL chaos! From six wickets in hand and just nine needed to a full-blown meltdown, Mitchell Starc really turned back the clock with that last over. Five yorkers under pressure? That’s the stuff legends are made of. And RR’s Super Over collapse... two run outs in five balls? Brutal. Parag and Jaiswal are usually so sharp between the wickets too — nerves must’ve got the better of them. DC chasing 12 in four balls just shows the firepower they’ve got at the death. I’m guessing either Stubbs, Pant, or maybe Hope finished it off? Who was the hero with the bat in the Super Over? What a game for Tristan Stubbs — absolute clutch in every sense! First the ice-cool finishing with the bat, then the fielding brilliance to save that crucial run, and finally the Super Over six to seal the deal. If anyone still doubted his value to DC, this match settled it. Also feels like RR let this one slip — Sandeep Sharma’s 11-ball over, Theekshana’s dropped catch, and Parag’s missed chance on Stubbs... small moments, big price. Stubbs really made them pay for every single lapse. And that Axar cameo! 34 off 14 is such a game-changer in those middle-to-death overs, especially on a deck like Delhi where 200 is the par score these days. What a wild mix of twists this match packed — from near-misses to heroics! Stubbs went from almost the villain with that dropped catch on Rana, to the undisputed match-winner. Cricket can be ruthless like that; one moment you’re gifting 6 runs, the next you’re hammering the winning six in a Super Over. And credit to Rana — after that reprieve, he flipped the script beautifully. That late-innings cameo from him was textbook damage control after Jaiswal’s dismissal. Starc's yorker to remove him was chef's kiss — just when RR looked to cruise. Also, Samson's injury looked like a real turning point. Before pulling up, he was striking the ball cleanly, and with the platform RR had, his presence might've closed the game out well before the final over. Hopefully the side strain isn’t serious — RR will need him fit for the business end of the season. That really tells the story of a classic scrap on a two-paced Delhi wicket — the kind where timing comes and goes, and batters can’t just brute-force their way through. Fraser-McGurk’s early dismissal was a blow, especially given how destructive he can be, and Nair’s run-out — right after Archer roughed him up — was just ruthless cricket. That little spell from Archer showed what high-quality pace can do on a sluggish deck. Porel’s innings was the perfect example of a "game of two halves" — explosive start, then anchored down by the sticky surface and smart bowling changes. Falling one short of a half-century must've stung, but his early burst was crucial in keeping the innings afloat. And then the momentum shift — Axar and Stubbs’ partnership was the difference maker, especially once the surface slowed even further. Stubbs finishing the job after the late drama just capped off the narrative perfectly.
