While the Delhi Capitals (DC) held out for a one-wicket win over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash on Monday, there was a distinct South African flavour to the battle with four Proteas players involved.

Tristan Stubbs and Faf du Plessis playing for DC both made strong contributions with the bat as DSC won by one wicket with three balls remaining as they chased down an imposing victory total of 210.

Opening the batting for DC, Du Plessis made a quick-fire 29 from 18 balls while the wickets fell around him before he was dismissed with the score 65/5.

The fall of Du Plessis brought Stubbs to the wicket, and he set about a destructive knock of 34 from 22 before he was out which laid the platform for DC top-scorer Ashutosh Sharma who blasted 66 from 31 as he was unbeaten at the end as his side closed out the win.

Thrilling T20 Showdown: Over 400 runs as Marsh, Markram, and Miller set the tone

Earlier, LSG got off to a good start as Aiden Markram opened the batting alongside Aussie Mitchell Marsh. Markram, however, was out after 15 from 13 balls as the pair put on 46 from 4.4 overs to open their account.

Marsh would go on to make 72 from 36 as DSG built a big total. Coming in at number five as a veteran of over 500 T20 matches, David Miller ended unbeaten with 27 from 19 as he helped his side to score north of 200.

Ultimately, the efforts of Markram and Miller would be in vain as over 400 runs were scored in a highly entertaining clash.
