DC became the first team to lose three wickets for no runs on the board in IPL.
While going through a tough phase, everyone has an option to deal with a smile or carry on with a dull face. The official Twitter account of Delhi Capitals (DC) turned their pain into humor after a disastrous outing against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2020.
Delhi had a terrible start to their chase while going after a target of 201 in the playoffs. They lost three wickets for naught and then the fourth one on 20 runs.
DC social media account took the moment to crack a joke on their poor batting. They quoted a tweet from Donald Trump, which read, "STOP THE COUNT!", and wrote, "Me to the guy updating the wickets column".
Although the fans were not happy with the performance, they couldn't control themselves from having a laugh at it.
Batting first, MI scored 200 for 5 in their 20 overs after an outstanding finish by Hardik Pandya (14-ball 37*) and Ishan Kishan (55* off 30). The other performers with the bat were Surykumar Yadav (51 off 38) and Quinton de Kock (40 off 25).
With the ball, Jasprit Bumrah picked up 4/14 in four overs and got the Man of the Match award for his performance. MI are now into the final of IPL 2020 after beating DC by 57 runs.
