| 0 | 19.5 | 19.5: Mukesh Kumar to Glenn Phillips, Another mix-up, but no damage done! Hard length and around off, Glenn Phillips goes for the reverse scoop but misses.

| 1 | 19.4 | 19.4: Mukesh Kumar to Rahul Tewatia, Run out chance...missed! Mukesh Kumar bowls this full and on middle, angling in, Rahul Tewatia drills it towards mid off.

| 6 | 18.5 | 18.5: T Natarajan to Washington Sundar, SIX! MAIDEN IPL FIFTY FOR SUNDAR! This has been a fantastic knock and a very crucial one for GT as well.

| 1 | 18.4 | 18.4: T Natarajan to Glenn Phillips, Low full toss, on middle, Glenn Phillips cannot get fully under it and drills it to long on for just one. |

| 0 | 17.5 | 17.5: Lungi Ngidi to Glenn Phillips, WIDE! Just gets the wide yorker wrong, spills it over the tramline outside off. Glenn Phillips leaves it alone. |
| 0 | 17.4 | 17.4: Lungi Ngidi to Glenn Phillips, Beaten! Another slower wide yorker, outside off, dipping in late. Glenn Phillips gets deceived by it and misses. |
| 0 | 17.3 | 17.3: Lungi Ngidi to Shubman Gill, OUT! TAKEN! Lungi Ngidi strikes big here. He rolls his fingers again to give no pace to the batter, serves this full and on off. Shubman Gill tries to get under it and go big downtown, but fails to do so and also loses a bit of his shape. He mistimes the shot high in the air due to the lack of pace and Nitish Rana at extra cover moves to his right, settles under it and takes a good catch. End of a fine knock from the GT skipper. |

| 0 | 16.5 | 16.5: Kuldeep Yadav to Shubman Gill, A wrong 'un, short and around off. Shubman Gill surprisingly leaves it alone, thinking it is a wide, but gets nothing from the umpire. However, he takes the review this time. The replay shows that the ball is well within the tramline. The on-field call remains and GT lose a review. |
| 6 | 16.4 | 16.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Shubman Gill, SIX! There she goes again! Tossed up, full and on middle, lands right in the slot. Shubman Gill clears his front leg away and tonks it gracefully over the bowler's head for half a dozen more. |

| 0 | 15.4 | 15.4: T Natarajan to Shubman Gill, Goes for the slower bumper, keeps it away from the batter, outside off but a bit too much. Shubman Gill throws his hands to reach out for it but misses. It is called a wide, but KL Rahul thinks it is touch and go and convinces Axar Patel to take the review. The replay shows that Gill is standing outside off stump and the revised wide guidelines come up on the screen. The third umpire sees that some part of the ball is inside that guideline and the on-field call is overturned. Good review from DC! |
| 4 | 15.3 | 15.3: T Natarajan to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Powered away! Short of a length and around off, takes pace off. Shubman Gill picks it up early, gets on top of the bounce and smacks it to the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary. |

| 0 | 14.5 | 14.5: Lungi Ngidi to Shubman Gill, WIDE! Pitched up, full and wide outside off, pushed beyond the tramline. Gill has a slight shimmy to the off side but leaves it alone. The keeper thinks about referring the wide but opts against it. |
| 1 | 14.4 | 14.4: Lungi Ngidi to Washington Sundar, And again, another signature slower ball from Lungi. This is bowled on middle and leg, Sundar waits well for it and just shows the full face of the blade, lobbing it into the empty space in front of mid-wicket for a single. |
| 1 | 14.3 | 14.3: Lungi Ngidi to Shubman Gill, There's that dipping slower one from Ngidi and it nearly outfoxes Gill as well. Shubman Gill walks down the pitch and the ball just dips on him. Luckily for him, Gill manages to get an inside edge that goes past the leg stump and they get a single. |

| 1 | 13.2 | 13.2: Axar Patel to Shubman Gill, DROPPED? Seems like it. Axar Patel sees Shubman Gill coming down the pitch and shortens the length, bowling it flat and outside off. Gill doesn't reach the pitch of the delivery but goes through with the shot and mistimes it aerially over mid on. David Miller comes charging in from long on and dives forward, getting fingers on the ball but the trajectory makes it almost impossible for him to get the fingers completely underneath it. A single is taken. |

| 4 | 11.3 | 11.3: Vipraj Nigam to Washington Sundar, NO BALL AND FOUR! Oh, that's a cardinal sin from Vipraj Nigam. Another one that is dragged down but this time, Nigam has overstepped as well. Washington Sundar rocks back and hammers it flat between deep mid-wicket and long on for another boundary. FREE HIT upcoming... |
| 4 | 11.2 | 11.2: Vipraj Nigam to Washington Sundar, FOUR! A 'hit-me' ball from Vipraj, put away with ease. Slower this time but dragged down around off, Sundar goes deep in the crease and powers the pull shot flat and in front of deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |

| 0 | 2.7 | 2.6: Mukesh Kumar to Jos Buttler, WIDE! Ouch! KL Rahul seems to have caught an awkward blow here. Back of a length, angled down the leg side, and the ball just curves late after leaving the batter. Rahul tries to pouch it, moving to his left, but cops a blow on the fingers and takes off his gloves right away. Hopefully, he is fine. |
| 6 | 2.6 | 2.5: Mukesh Kumar to Jos Buttler, SIX! Why try to find the gap when you can do that? Mukesh bowls it around off, on a good length, but Buttler just steps out and comes inside the line of the ball before clubbing it over long on for the first biggie of the game. |

The ball goes back on to rattle the stumps and the Capitals pick up a big wicket early in the Powerplay. |
| 0 | 2.1 | 2.1: Mukesh Kumar to Sai Sudharsan, WIDE! Good-length delivery on leg stump, swings down the leg side and Sudharsan fails to get it away. Half an appeal from the keeper for a caught behind, probably just to avoid a wide call. |

| 4 | 1.1 | 1.1: Lungi Ngidi to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! Oh, that is glorious from Sudharsan. Ngidi pitches the ball fuller and wide outside off, Sudharsan leans on and strokes the cover drive right off the middle of the bat and past the left of a diving David Miller at extra cover for a boundary. |
| 0 | 0.6 | 0.6: Mukesh Kumar to Shubman Gill, A dot to end but GT pick up 11 runs off the first over. Back of a length, angled into the batter. Gill tries to walk down the pitch but gets cramped for room and jams it back down the pitch. |
| 1 | 0.5 | 0.5: Mukesh Kumar to Sai Sudharsan, Fuller than a good length, on middle, nudged away to the left of mid-wicket. Pathum Nissanka dives across and makes a good half stop to keep it down to a single. |
| 1 | 0.4 | 0.4: Mukesh Kumar to Shubman Gill, Excellent cricket, a single right after the boundary once again. Fuller this time, on off, Gill prods ahead and pushes it in front of covers for a quick single. |
| 4 | 0.3 | 0.3: Mukesh Kumar to Shubman Gill, FOUR! A touch of class from Shubman Gill now. Short of a good length, shaping away from off. Gill stays upright, waits well and taps it brilliantly through cover-point for a boundary to get going. |
| 1 | 0.2 | 0.2: Mukesh Kumar to Sai Sudharsan, Length ball, outside the off stump, slapped away to the fielder at deep backward point for a single by Sudharsan. |
| 4 | 0.1 | 0.1: Mukesh Kumar to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! Up and running in style. Good-length delivery, too straight in line. Sai Sudharsan walks down the pitch and tucks it away sweetly and in front of mid-wicket as the ball races away to the fence. |
| 0 | 19.6 | 19.6: Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, OUT! KULDEEP YADAV IS RUN OUT! Unbelievable end to the game, GT WIN BY 1 RUN. A slower bumper from Prasidh Krishna, a gutsy delivery to bowl, but he gets it right. The ball is just outside off and at helmet height. David Miller has to reach for it but is undone by the lack of pace and the extra bounce. The ball bounces behind to the keeper and the batters try to sneak in a bye. Jos Buttler, who had taken off his right glove before this delivery for this particular scenario, gets his opportunity to win the game and he underarms the throw at the stumps to perfection at the striker's end. Yadav dives but in vain. However, the drama isn't over there as Miller reviews it for a wide for height but replays suggest that it is a fair delivery. Miller is heartbroken, and the GT players are ecstatic. |
| 0 | 19.5 | 19.5: Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, Oh, wow! What a surprising decision. David Miller could have and probably should have levelled the scores here but he denies the single. Slower short ball, angled at the batter, Miller swivels back and pulls it down through square leg. The batters start running, but Miller sends Kuldeep back. 2 needed off 1 ball now. |
| 6 | 19.4 | 19.4: Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, SIX! 'If it's in the V, it's in the tree.' Krishna serves another one in the slot, just outside off, and with pace on as well. David Miller sets base deep in the crease and just powers through the line of the ball, whacking it up and away over long off for a biggie. Just 2 needed now off 2 balls. Super Over, anyone? |
| 1 | 19.3 | 19.3: Prasidh Krishna to Kuldeep Yadav, Back of a length and in the channel outside off, Kuldeep Yadav runs it down to deep third and picks up a single. 8 needed now off 3 balls. |
| 0 | 19.2 | 19.2: Prasidh Krishna to Vipraj Nigam, OUT! CAUGHT! Vipraj Nigam tries to force the lofted shot away but that's well bowled and GT are right back in it. Prasidh Krishna brings out the slower bumper and gets it around shoulder height and just outside off. Nigam backs away and tries to go over covers, as there's no one out in the deep but ends up getting more height than distance. Shubman Gill at covers, backtracks and takes a safe catch. 9 needed off 4 balls. |
| 4 | 19.1 | 19.1: Prasidh Krishna to Vipraj Nigam, FOUR! The Capitals are in a hurry now. Still, 9 needed off 5 balls. Full on off, right in the slot with mid off inside the circle. Vipraj Nigam stays deep in the crease and smashes it over extra cover for a boundary. |
| 1 | 18.7 | 18.6: Mohammed Siraj to Vipraj Nigam, A juicy full toss, angled into the batter. Nigam backs away and ends up flicking it down to deep backward square leg for a run. 13 needed now off 6 deliveries. |
| 4 | 18.6 | 18.5: Mohammed Siraj to Vipraj Nigam, FOUR! That is so nicely done by Nigam, 22 off the over with one ball to go. All the momentum with DC at the moment. Slower bumper, over off stump, Nigam waits well and puts his bat up, ramping it straight over the keeper's head. There is a fine third man in place but he can't reach it. |
| 1 | 18.5 | 18.4: Mohammed Siraj to David Miller, Short of a length, over middle, pulled down to deep mid-wicket for a run. |
| 6 | 18.4 | 18.3: Mohammed Siraj to David Miller, SIX! In the arc, and out of the park. Miller doesn't even look at the ball after hitting it. Full and straight from Siraj, right in the slot. Miller puts the head down and hits through the line, high and mighty over long on for a biggie. 19 needed now off 9 balls. |
| 4 | 18.3 | 18.2: Mohammed Siraj to David Miller, FOUR! Miller is putting the pressure back on Siraj. Too full and too wide outside off, Miller uses those long levers to reach out and slaps it flat over extra cover for a boundary. It almost hits the cushions on the full, but the smart replays confirm it has just bounced before. |
| 6 | 18.2 | 18.1: Mohammed Siraj to David Miller, SIX! The game is still alive! Banged in short and outside off, Siraj doesn't get it short enough. David Miller picks up the slower ball and nails the pull handsomely in front of mid-wicket for a biggie. 29 needed now off 11 balls. |
| 0 | 18.1 | 18.1: Mohammed Siraj to David Miller, WIDE! Siraj tries to go wide outside off, away from the hitting arc but gets it a bit too wide. |
| 1 | 17.6 | 17.6: Kagiso Rabada to David Miller, A loud cry of anguish from Miller as he fails to get it away. A skiddy bumper, right at the batter. Miller gets a bit low and angles the pull down to fine leg for a single. 36 needed off 12 balls. |
| 4 | 17.5 | 17.5: Kagiso Rabada to David Miller, FOUR! The Capitals will want a lot more of those from Miller right now. Slow and short but wide outside off, Miller extends his arms and powers it in front of covers for a boundary. |
| 1 | 17.4 | 17.4: Kagiso Rabada to Vipraj Nigam, Slower one, into the pitch and around off, Nigam pulls it down to long on for a single. |
| 0 | 17.3 | 17.3: Kagiso Rabada to Vipraj Nigam, Dot balls are golden at this stage. Dug in a bit shorter and outside off, Nigam walks across to the off side and tries to scoop but is beaten. |
| 2 | 17.2 | 17.2: Kagiso Rabada to Vipraj Nigam, In no man's land! Pitched up fuller and around off, Vipraj Nigam hangs back and throws his hands at it, slicing the ball up and over the point region for a couple of runs. |
| 1 | 17.1 | 17.1: Kagiso Rabada to David Miller, Banged in short and at the batter, swung away to deep square leg for just a single. |
| 0 | 16.8 | 16.6: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mohammed Siraj might have just done the job here for GT. The pacer goes back to bowling full and wide outside off and gets this one spot-on as he gets it to curve away a bit as well. KL Rahul goes reaching for it but can only manage to get an outside edge. The ball flies behind and Jos Buttler takes a good catch to his right. Rahul is distraught with himself and that marks the end of a stellar knock, a knock that in the end, might not be enough for DC. |
| 4 | 16.7 | 16.5: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, FOUR! Rahul gets this one away and moves into the 90s. A yorker gone wrong from Siraj as this is served in the slot and around off. Rahul walks inside the line and heaves it wide of long on for a boundary. |
| 0 | 16.6 | 16.5: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, WIDE! Full and wide outside off, sprayed beyond the tramline once again for another extra run. |
| 0 | 16.5 | 16.5: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, WIDE! Fullish length, pushed wide outside the off stump and Rahul leaves it alone. |
| 0 | 16.4 | 16.4: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, OUT! TRISTAN STUBBS IS RUN OUT! Another moment in the game, and this could be a big one. Mohammed Siraj goes into the pitch again and digs the ball in halfway down the pitch. KL Rahul reaches up and forces the ball down to mid on as the batters set off for the single. KL quickly realizes that he has hit it straight to Sai Sudharsan, and he immediately backtracks, leaving Tristan Stubbs halfway down the pitch. Sai picks up the ball and hits the bullseye at the bowler's end. Stubbs puts in a desperate dive but can't make it back in time. DC lose their 5th wicket. |
| 0 | 16.3 | 16.3: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, Too cute from Rahul. KL premeditates and looks for the reverse lap, but Siraj cleverly brings out the slower bumper, bowling it outside off. Rahul is undone by the lack of pace and it will be a dot ball. 51 needed off 21 deliveries. |
| 1 | 16.2 | 16.2: Mohammed Siraj to Tristan Stubbs, That's a certain boundary saved. Full and wide, drilled back past the bowler. Rashid Khan at mid off flings himself and dives to his right, getting a big hand on it. Just a single. |
| 1 | 16.1 | 16.1: Mohammed Siraj to KL Rahul, A low full toss, wide outside off, KL Rahul reaches for it and slashes it off the toe end of the blade towards deep point for a single. |
| 0 | 15.7 | 15.6: Ashok Sharma to Tristan Stubbs, Slower delivery, a tad fuller and just outside off. Stubbs looks to wait back and cut but fails to do so. 53 needed now off 24 balls. |
| 1 | 15.6 | 15.5: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, A high full toss, on middle, KL Rahul gets surprised but manages to tuck it through mid-wicket for a run. Rahul has a chat with Stubbs and takes the review to see whether the ball is above his waist or not. The replay shows that it is well below the waist, and the Ball Tracking confirms it as well. A very poor review! |
| 4 | 15.5 | 15.4: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, FOUR! Oh, a valiant effort, but again, was it necessary? Length ball over middle, KL Rahul stays back and swats it away flat through mid on. Sai Sudharsan charges in from the deep and puts in a big dive, but gets nowhere near the ball, which lands, hits his wrists and goes for a boundary. |
| 5 | 15.4 | 15.3: Ashok Sharma to Tristan Stubbs, BUZZERS! A bit unnecessary from the GT skipper. A yorker at the stumps, around 150 kph. Tristan Stubbs digs it out into the turf. The ball bounces up and the bowler gets a fingertip on it. The batters go for the single and Shubman Gill from covers picks up the ball and scores a direct hit at the keeper's end with Rahul well in. The ball deflects away after hitting the stumps and rolls away into the fine leg fence for four extra runs. |
| 1 | 15.3 | 15.2: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, Back of a length, outside off, KL Rahul stays back and punches it down to covers for a quick single. |
| 0 | 15.2 | 15.2: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, WIDE! Sharma goes wide outside the off stump now, but sprays the ball beyond the tramline. |
| 4 | 15.1 | 15.1: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, FOUR! Just the start DC would have wanted after the break. Sharma goes for the slower ball right away but serves it short and down leg, Rahul picks it up and pulls the ball towards the vacant backward square leg fence for a boundary. |
| 0 | 14.7 | 14.6: Kagiso Rabada to Tristan Stubbs, Hard length again, angling into the batter. Tristan Stubbs fails to flick it away and the ball hits him high on the pads, going nowhere. 69 needed in 30 balls! |
| 0 | 14.6 | 14.5: Kagiso Rabada to Tristan Stubbs, Hits the length hard and around off, pace on and skids through. Tristan Stubbs has a heave across but misses. |
| 1 | 14.5 | 14.4: Kagiso Rabada to KL Rahul, Bangs this into the pitch, on middle, gives no pace again. KL Rahul pulls it on the bounce and to the right of deep mid-wicket for one. |
| 1 | 14.4 | 14.3: Kagiso Rabada to Tristan Stubbs, Touch fuller and on middle, Tristan Stubbs works it to long on for a run. |
| 1 | 14.3 | 14.2: Kagiso Rabada to KL Rahul, Short of a length and on middle, takes pace off, KL Rahul pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single. |
| 4 | 14.2 | 14.1: Kagiso Rabada to KL Rahul, FOUR! KL-assy shot! Fuller in length and on middle, serves this right in the slot. KL Rahul gets underneath it and pumps it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 0 | 14.1 | 14.1: Kagiso Rabada to KL Rahul, WIDE! Fuller one but down the leg side, KL Rahul fails to glance it away. Wided. |
| 0 | 13.6 | 13.6: Rashid Khan to Axar Patel, OUT! TAKEN! Rashid Khan strikes again with his last ball of the spell. Axar Patel could have just played Rashid out here and paid the price for trying to take him on. This is a googly, full and on off, turns away a bit. Axar goes for the big slog across the line but fails to read the wrong 'un. His bat turns in his hands as well and he mistimes it over extra cover. Glenn Phillips runs backwards and dives to take a superb catch. KL Rahul has a look of disappointment at the other end. DC are 134/4 now, chasing 211 runs. |
| 1 | 13.5 | 13.5: Rashid Khan to KL Rahul, Quicker one, full and on leg, KL Rahul tucks it through mid-wicket for one. |

| 4 | 12.6 | 12.6: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, FOUR! Picks his spot nicely! Fuller again and just outside off. KL Rahul extends his arms to get under it and smacks it over extra covers for a boundary. 81 needed in 42 balls now. |
| 1 | 12.5 | 12.5: Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, Pitched up, on the pads, David Miller works it through mid-wicket for one. |
| 2 | 12.4 | 12.4: Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, Much fuller and on leg, David Miller tucks it away towards deep mid-wicket and comes back for the second run. |
| 0 | 12.3 | 12.3: Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, Misses out! Back of a length and down the leg side. David Miller hooks it straight to short fine. A bit to either side and it would have been a boundary. |
| 4 | 12.2 | 12.2: Prasidh Krishna to David Miller, FOUR! David Miller gets into the act now! Short of a length and on middle, angling in a bit. Miller picks up the length early, stands tall and muscles it to the deep mid-wicket fence for a boundary. He may have just jarred his left hand and shakes it, looking in a bit of pain. |
| 1 | 12.1 | 12.1: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, Low full toss, tailing in, KL Rahul flicks it to deep square leg for a single. |

| 1 | 11.4 | 11.4: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, Pace off, on a length and on leg, KL Rahul works it through mid-wicket for a run. |
| 1 | 11.3 | 11.3: Ashok Sharma to David Miller, Risky run! Back of a length and on middle, pace on. David Miller goes for the pull again but gets an inside edge onto his pads as the ball rolls out towards cover. He sets off for the single. Glenn Phillips is quick to the ball, picks up and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Miller puts in a fantastic dive which would have saved him anyway. |
| 0 | 11.2 | 11.2: Ashok Sharma to David Miller, Ashok Sharma bangs this into the pitch, around off, takes pace off. David Miller goes through the pull shot early and misses. |

| 0 | 10.6 | 10.6: Washington Sundar to David Miller, Shout for LBW, but turned down! Another one sliding in with the arm, short and skids through. David Miller stays back to play but misses and gets hit on the back pad. Going down the leg side, that one. |
| 2 | 10.5 | 10.5: Washington Sundar to David Miller, Arm ball, shortish and on the pads, David Miller clips it away wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs. |

| 1 | 10.2 | 10.2: Washington Sundar to KL Rahul, Floated, short and on off, turns in a bit, KL Rahul stabs it out past the bowler towards long off for a single. |
| 6 | 10.1 | 10.1: Washington Sundar to KL Rahul, SIX! Going, going, gone! Tossed up, full and around middle. KL Rahul skips down the track to get closer to the pitch of it. He swings through the line and launches it high and handsomely over the long on fence for a biggie. |
| 0 | 9.6 | 9.6: Rashid Khan to Sameer Rizvi, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Rashid Khan at his very best here! The Afghan goes quicker and fuller, landing the googly perfectly just outside the off stump. Sameer Rizvi looks to start cautiously and tries to put forward a front-foot defence but the ball lands and turns and zips between bat and pad to knock over the off stump. The Impact Sub goes for a golden duck and Rizvi's run of excellent form has come to a halt here. 110 needed off 60 balls. |
| 0 | 9.5 | 9.5: Rashid Khan to Nitish Rana, OUT! CAUGHT! Rashid Khan does get the better of Nitish Rana and has the last laugh here. A bit of a cold stare from Rashid as Rana walks back past him, adding fuel to the fire and the game is on. Khan bowls it a touch fuller and outside off, but flatter too. Rana stays put and just throws his hands at it, skewing it badly over mid off. Sai Sudharsan comes charging in from the deep and puts on the afterburners to reach the ball with a dive. Sai holds on to a very tough chance and GT have their second wicket. |
| 4 | 9.4 | 9.4: Rashid Khan to Nitish Rana, FOUR! Rashid Khan puts his hands up as he knows he shouldn't have done that. Bowled from well behind the popping crease and bowled well short around off, Nitish Rana rocks back and pulls it flat and hard towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 0 | 9.3 | 9.3: Rashid Khan to Nitish Rana, Lands it around leg stump, it is the googly, Rana looks to flick but plays all around it and wears it on the pads. |
| 0 | 9.2 | 9.2: Rashid Khan to Nitish Rana, Shout for LBW and up goes the finger! Rashid Khan strikes now and Nitish Rana's lean patch continues in this IPL. This is flatter, full and around middle. Rana switches his stance and goes for the reverse sweep, but it looks like he misses, and the ball thuds on the front pad. There is a shout for LBW, and the finger goes up. However, Rana takes the review right away. The replay shows that the ball is close to the bat, and then may have brushed the gloves as well. UltraEdge comes up and shows a spike when the ball is close to the bat. No need to go further, and the on-field call is changed to NOT OUT. Fine review from Rana. |
| 0 | 9.1 | 9.1: Rashid Khan to Nitish Rana, Floated, full and around leg, Nitish Rana tucks it to short fine. |
| 4 | 8.6 | 8.6: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, FOUR! 20 runs in the last 4 balls for KL Rahul and he brings up a sensational FIFTY. Shorter in length, wide outside off, Rahul rocks back and slaps the ball hard, hitting it behind point for a boundary. This blitz from Rahul has taken the scoring rate past the required rate now. |
| 6 | 8.5 | 8.5: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, SIX! ONE MORE! Prasidh Krishna goes pace on now, bowling it on a hard length and around off. KL Rahul backs away a bit, stays back and hammers it wide of long off for yet another biggie. |
| 6 | 8.4 | 8.4: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, SIX! KL Rahul looks in pristine touch now. Off-paced delivery, on a good length and at the stumps. Rahul simply gets under the ball and lifts it back over the bowler's head for a biggie. |
| 4 | 8.3 | 8.3: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, FOUR! That's so well-controlled by KL! A skiddy short ball, right at the batter, Rahul swivels on his toes and pulls it flat, to the left of deep square leg and finds the fence. |
| 1 | 8.2 | 8.2: Prasidh Krishna to Nitish Rana, Full-pitched delivery, on leg stump, Nitish Rana swings at it and heaves it towards deep square leg for a single. |
| 0 | 8.1 | 8.1: Prasidh Krishna to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! CAUGHT! Prasidh Krishna and his knack for picking up wickets continues. Krishna bowls it back of a length, keeping the length tight around off stump. Pathum Nissanka rocks back and looks to smash it flat over mid off but gets rushed and cramped for room. He ends up snatching at it and the ball hits the higher part of the blade, going towards mid off. Rahul Tewatia over there springs forward and snaffles the catch just inches off the ground and the 76-run opening stand is broken. |
| 1 | 7.6 | 7.6: Rashid Khan to Pathum Nissanka, On the pads this time, flicked away in front of square on the leg side for a single by Nissanka. Just five singles off the over, another tidy one from Rashid. DC need 135 more off 72 balls. |

| 1 | 7.2 | 7.2: Rashid Khan to KL Rahul, Fuller this time, a bit slower too and on off. Rahul leans on and smothers it away in front of covers for a quick single. |
| 1 | 7.1 | 7.1: Rashid Khan to Pathum Nissanka, A touch short, around off, punched away to sweeper cover for a single. |
| 4 | 6.6 | 6.6: Prasidh Krishna to KL Rahul, FOUR! That's a fine shot. Fractionally shorter again, outside off, KL Rahul hangs back and pummels it off the back foot, just over the vacant extra cover region and the ball flies away to the fence. |
| 1 | 6.5 | 6.5: Prasidh Krishna to Pathum Nissanka, Back of a length and outside off, punched away off the back foot and wide of point for a single. |
| 0 | 6.4 | 6.4: Prasidh Krishna to Pathum Nissanka, Wrong line again but Nissanka fails to put it away. Length ball on leg stump, skids through, Nissanka looks to tuck it fine but the ball ends up brushing the pads. Good work from Jos Buttler behind the stumps. |

| 4 | 5.6 | 5.6: Ashok Sharma to Pathum Nissanka, FOUR! Oh, Nissanka is showing the full range now. Slower delivery, on a good length and outside off, Nissanka waits back before tapping the ball on the head and guides it away through the short third region for four more runs. 23 off the over. |
| 4 | 5.5 | 5.5: Ashok Sharma to Pathum Nissanka, FOUR! Nissanka is on a roll here. A fraction shorter over middle, angling in, Nissanka swivels onto the back foot and hoicks it across the line, in between square leg and mid-wicket for another boundary. |
| 6 | 5.4 | 5.4: Ashok Sharma to Pathum Nissanka, SIX! That's flown over the ropes and the 50 is up for Delhi Capitals. Around 148 kph but in the slot around off, Nissanka keeps the front leg out of the way and swats it up and over long off for a six. |
| 4 | 5.3 | 5.3: Ashok Sharma to Pathum Nissanka, FOUR! Up and away! Pace off from Sharma, pitches it full and wide outside off. Pathum Nissanka backs away, opening up the off side and smacks it over covers for another boundary. |
| 1 | 5.2 | 5.2: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, Back of a length and at the batter, tucked away neatly through square leg for a single. |
| 4 | 5.1 | 5.1: Ashok Sharma to KL Rahul, FOUR! Oh, what an effort! But the ball lands out of reach. Good-length delivery around off, KL Rahul backs away early and looks to use the extra pace as he goes for the lofted shot over covers. He ends up slicing it a bit and well over cover-point. Glenn Phillips turns back and runs after it, putting in a big dive but doesn't get to it and the ball rolls to the fence. |
| 1 | 4.6 | 4.6: Rashid Khan to KL Rahul, Goes back to his shorter in length, on middle, KL Rahul pats it down to long on for one. |
| 0 | 4.5 | 4.5: Rashid Khan to KL Rahul, Oh..that turned a long way! Rashid Khan tosses up the leg-break, full and around off, grips and spins away sharply. KL Rahul plays well inside the line of it and the ball goes past the outside edge. |
