The enduring quality of Australia's veteran pace bowling maestros has come to the fore once more as Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc helped fire their IPL sides to crucial victories.
Hazlewood, even while not at his Sunday best, still struck the hammer blow at Dharamsala when needed, taking the vital wicket of his dangerous Punjab Kings compatriot Marcus Stoinis and then bowling two mean death overs to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru secure their 23-run win.
Then later on Sunday, Starc powered in to take three wickets in four balls and win the man-of-the-match award with his 4-40 as Delhi Capitals kept their hopes alive with a five-wicket home win over Rajasthan Royals.
