Warner is dismissed as Alzarri Joseph bowls him out with a ball that the batsman attempted to cut from the off stump. Despite it not being a surface issue, Warner was unable to make room for the shot and ended up dragging the ball off a thick under-edge. Another batter falls in similar fashion.
On next ball, Rossouw falls on the first ball as Alzarri Joseph delivers a fierce delivery that climbs onto the batsman. Rossouw tries to fend it off but ends up popping the ball off the bat shoulder, and Rahul Tewatia takes a confident catch at backward point.
The umpires check for a fair catch, but Tewatia’s awareness and dive confirm a clean catch. This marks two wickets in two balls for Joseph. The delivery was short and rising, making it difficult for Rossouw to handle.
After being put to bat first by Hardik Pandya, Delhi Capitals are facing a tough challenge. Despite swinging conditions, David Warner managed to survive the first over, while Prithvi Shaw fell to Shami when attempting a big pull shot.
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is hosting DC’s first home match of the season, where they are up against reigning champions Gujarat Titans. DC had a rough start to their campaign, suffering a 50-run loss against Lucknow Super Giants.
Their fielding performance was subpar, and although they began their chase well, Mark Wood dashed their hopes, leaving them struggling to stay in the game. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans were impressive in their opening game against four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK). DC’s regular captain, Rishabh Pant, will be present at the stadium today.
