DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Marcus Stoinis’ brilliant all-round performance carried Delhi Capitals to a Super Over win against Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League on Sunday.

As a batsman, Stoinis smashed 53 runs off 21 balls and lifted Delhi’s total to 157-8 with Chris Jordan conceding 30 runs off the 20th over.

As a bowler, Stoinis forced the game into the Super Over by dismissing opener Mayank Agarwal and Jordan off the last two balls as Punjab also finished on 157-8. Agarwal hit 89 off 60 balls.

South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada restricted Punjab’s total to just two runs in the Super Over by dismissing captain KL Rahul and Nicholas Pooran off his second and third deliveries which brought an end to the over.

Delhi achieved the target after Mohammed Shami bowled a wide and then Rishabh Pant neatly turned the seamer to fine leg for two runs.
