DD win by 8 wickets | Another win for DD, who move to the second spot in the table. They thoroughly outplayed their opponents out of the park.
DD 115/1 in 13.3 Ovs Take a bow, Rishabh Pant. The U-19 batsman was in terrific touch, smashing the bowlers to all parts. It has been a thoroughly professional display from Delhi so far and De Kock is also closing in on a half-century. Victory within sights as Sanju Samson has come to the middle.
GJ 149/7 in 20 Ovs | Delhi were disciplined in the final overs and didn’t give Gujarat enough opportunities to go for big hits. The ending folded out quite tamely in the end with James Faulkner not contributing much. Barring a couple of good shots, Jadeja couldn’t really force the issue either. Shami, Zaheer and Morris were tidy with their lengths and the innings folds with a run out, effected by an accurate throw from Sam Billings at sweeper.
GJ 127/5 in 17.3 Ovs | Dinesh Karthik reached his fifty and then disappeared. Shami deceived him with a slower ball, which ended an excellent rescue innings from Karthik. Jadeja is giving him good support in the middle.
GJ 75/4 in 11 Ovs | Amit Mishra is persisted with and Zaheer is rewarded with the wicket of Suresh Raina. The partnership between Raina and DK was going along at a fair clip and Delhi were searching for a wicket. De Kock’s work behind the stumps was excellent.
GJ 35/3 in 6 Ovs | What a start for Delhi, who have been excellent during the powerplay overs. It was skipper Zaheer Khan who started the the freefall by removing Brendon McCullum. Then, it got even better with Shahbaz Nadeem removing Dwayne Smith and Aaron Finch. Gujarat have their task cut out.
