Carried for most of the way

His team won the match today, but it was without any major contribution from him. In fact, throughout the 2009 edition of the IPL, Delhi were carried for most of the way by AB de Villiers and Tillakaratne Dilshan, while the batsman the opposition most feared only made fleeting contributions.

Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?

Though I understand its meaning as "Delhi won most of their matches because of Ab de Villers and Dilsha", I would like to know the exact meaning of it.
