Not right away. For a while it seemed like DC were still in control, especially with the way Nissanka was finding boundaries every over. He swung Vaibhav Arora’s delivery off his pads, dabbed Varun Chakaravarthy through third and picked up Cameron Green’s delivery over the ropes, However, as Nissanka was setting the platform for his half-century, Nitish Rana was struggling, and the early signs of trouble against spin began to emerge. Rana was foxed by Green’s slower delivery and the ball lobbed to short fine. Nonetheless, at the end of 8 overs, DC still looked reasonably placed at 74 for 2.
