Debutant jake fraser

Debutant Jake Fraser: Riding on debutant Jake Fraser-McGurk's stunning 55, Delhi Capitals defeated Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets in Match 26 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Friday.

McGurk slammed a 35-ball 55, studded with two boundaries and five maximums as he shared a 77-run partnership with skipper Rishabh Pant to help Delhi Capitals reach 170/4 in 18.1 overs after restricting the hosts to 167/7 in 20 overs despite a superb unbeaten fifty by Ayush Badoni.

With back-to-back boundaries in the second over bowled by Naveen-ul-Haq, the Capitals openers kicked off their chase of 168 runs. Prithvi Shaw needed some treatment in the first over after taking a blow on the hand but seemed to have shaken that off. Given width to cut, he sent his fourth ball to the fence and then crunched the next - one that was much tighter to the stumps - through extra cover.
