Anjum hails Jemimah's "fighting spirit" as DC reaches eliminator

Indeed, Delhi Capitals made it count when needed the most, with knocks from Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah leading a tight run-chase of 126 runs, completed with eight balls and five wickets in hand. After starting the season with two losses, they got a win against UP Warriorz in their third, but sunk further due to a loss to RCB. Two more wins over the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the RCB brought some life back in DC's campaign, leaving them with three wins and three loss before GG condemned them to a three-run loss. However, DC made up for this bitter, heartbreaking loss at the right time. They needed just a win to take the second eliminator spot, and Wolvaardt and Jemimah made sure DC got this all-important win, making it DC's fourth-playoff appearance in four editions. A win at the eliminator could help DC reach its fourth final in four seasons, but that would become clear on Tuesday.
