Delhi Bulls beat The Chennai Braves by 5 wickets
Right then. That is all we have from this clash but there is one more game coming up. Bangla Tigers will take on Northern Warriors in the final game of the day. It will begin at 8 pm Local (4 pm GMT). So switch tabs and enjoy that action!
Dwayne Bravo, the skipper of Delhi Bulls is also the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that he is very happy to keep winning games and credits his entire team for the way they played. Adds that when he came out to bat with Eoin Morgan, they kept their composure and they knew that they could chase it down.
Stay tuned for the presentation.
But then came Dwayne Bravo and he changed the game on its head. The skipper of Delhi Bulls got boundaries at will and got them back in the game. Eoin Morgan played the second fiddle and made sure that he got them over the line after the wicket of Bravo. The West Indian got 43 runs in just 16 balls and it is due to him that Delhi Bulls got over the line here.
Delhi Bulls lost a couple of early wickets and that pegged them back. But Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Mohammad Hafeez did provide their innings with some momentum. Roman Walker and Munaf Patel took 2 wickets each at the start and it looked like The Chennai Braves would get their first win of the competition.
What a chase by Delhi Bulls! They planned this to perfection and this is their third win on the trot. A brilliant show by them and they should be mighty proud of their show. The Chennai Braves, on the other hand, would be disappointed with the way they bowled here.

Dhananjaya Lakshan To Eoin Morgan
Poor from The Chennai Braves! Short ball, outside off. Pulled wide of deep mid-wicket. The batters sprint back for the second. Firstly, the throw from the deep is not on target so the keeper has to move to his right to gather it. He fails to gather and the man backing up also fails to collect the ball. The batters get one more and the scores are level!
