Player of the Match

Rashid Khan

3/17(4)

Calling it a day - That’s all from this nail-biting contest, where the Gujarat Titans somehow managed to edge out the Delhi Capitals to finally get on the board this season. Next up in IPL 2026, we move to the City of Joy with Kolkata Knight Riders taking on Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens on Thursday, April 9. The match begins at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), and you can join us early for all the build-up. Goodbye for now!

PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Rashid Khan wins the award for his excellent spell of 3/17. He says that he is happy with how things panned out and he felt good bowling today. Especially after a period of being out of the game for a few months some time back, he is feeling better and trying to hit his marks. On his wickets, he says that he practiced in the nets to try and bowl from around the wicket to Axar Patel. Further mentions that GT have been a part of some really close games in the last few years and just tried to tell the pacers to bowl their best delivery no matter what.

Happy to get the first win - Shubman Gill, the victorious skipper of the Gujarat Titans, says that he is definitely relieved. Adds that all three games they have played have gone to the last over, but he is happy to get their first win. Mentions that when Miller denied the single, he thought they had the chance to win. Gill shares that they were discussing whether to go for the yorker or slower one, but went with the latter, and it worked out. Says that they were good in the field, except for his overthrow that went for five runs, and fielding makes a big difference in this format. Tells that they thought 210 was 10-15 runs above par on this surface. Ends by saying that now he just needs to sleep and see how his neck is feeling the next day.

Presentation Time...

A quick chat - GT's Jos Buttler says that it feels great to get the win, which they desperately needed. On scoring a fifty, Jos says that he feels good but he's played for long enough to know that the lean patch would go away at some point. Buttler mentions that they do have a good team and it is a long tournament, but they need to play well in order to stay in the race for the playoffs. On Rashid Khan, Buttler says that this kind of wicket suits him and he bowled really well tonight. On being 35 and staying motivated, Buttler says that he'll try to keep playing for as long as possible.

Could have played a bit smartly - Axar Patel, the captain of Delhi Capitals, says that both teams played very good cricket and in these close games, it can always go either way. Adds that in close games, you can point out a lot of things, but feels that they could have played a bit smartly to not lose wickets at crucial stages. On KL Rahul, Axar says that the way KL kept the momentum high even after the Powerplay was brilliant and hopefully, he finishes off the game next time.

Titans hold their nerve - Gujarat Titans will be more relieved than happy here. They went wicketless in the Powerplay, with none of the bowlers making an impact early on. However, it was the Afghan magician Rashid Khan who turned the game with a double-wicket over, and then removed Axar on the last ball of his spell to finish with incredible figures of 3/17. Siraj picked up the big wicket of KL Rahul but was taken for plenty in the penultimate over, while Prasidh Krishna, who also got a couple, held his nerve brilliantly, executing a superb slower bumper on the final ball. Credit also goes to Jos Buttler for hitting the stumps to complete the run-out that sealed the game.

Gill-Sundar stand sets up GT’s big total - Earlier in the game, the Gujarat Titans piled on a big total, riding on a strong top-order display and a crucial partnership in the middle. Jos Buttler provided early momentum with a quick-fire 52 off 27, but the real highlight was the 104-run stand between skipper Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar. Back from injury, Gill looked in sublime touch with a classy 70 off 45, while Sundar brought up his maiden IPL fifty in style. Delhi's bowling effort was a mixed bag - Mukesh Kumar picked up a couple but went for runs, Kuldeep Yadav and Lungi Ngidi chipped in with one each, with the Protea standing out for his control, returning figures of 1/24 in an otherwise challenging outing for the attack.

One run, endless questions - David Miller, despite a thumb injury, returned to fight on and almost pulled off something special, smashing 41 off 20 and bringing the equation down to 2 off 2 from 36 needed off the final two overs. But in a moment that will be debated for a long time, he turned down a single on the penultimate ball, a decision that ultimately cost them the game, with Kuldeep run out on the final delivery as Delhi Capitals fell short by just one run.

Rahul leads the charge - Delhi Capitals got off to a flying start, with Pathum Nissanka taking charge while KL Rahul played second fiddle. It got even better as they capped the Powerplay with a 23-run over, racing to 63/0 after six. However, Nissanka fell for 41 off 24, which only pushed Rahul to shift gears as he brought up a 29-ball fifty. The game turned briefly when they were pegged back, losing Rana and, more importantly, Sameer Rizvi, who has been their hero, in the same over. That, though, didn’t deter Rahul, who kept chipping away at the target, but the real blow came when he fell for a superb 92, leaving them in a tough spot.

Drama till the very end - An absolute rollercoaster of a game in the Capital City, and surely one of the best this season. It had everything - twists, drama, and high-pressure moments, as the Gujarat Titans pulled a rabbit out of the hat, although in all honesty, it was served on a platter to them, and importantly, they get their first win of the season. It's still hard to fathom how Delhi Capitals let this slip, and that call from Miller to turn down the single on the penultimate ball will be talked about for a long time.

Prasidh Krishna To David Miller OUT!

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.

It is all happening. Gujarat Titans are celebrating here, with Kuldeep Yadav being run out. However, David Miller has taken the review for a wide over head height. If it is, we will have another ball, or else it's a 1-run win for the Titans. The replay and Ball Tracking confirm it is below Miller's head, and he is devastated. We have seen that glum face of Miller before, in the 2024 T20 World Cup final. Rabada, quickly goes to his South African mate, and has his hand wrapped around Miller's shoulder. Great camaraderie.

That is a brave call! It could have been 1 off 1, but it seems like Miller does not trust Kuldeep Yadav that much. Still, all three results are possible here.

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.

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?

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.

The slowing down tactics have worked for the Gujarat Titans. Kuldeep Yadav comes out to the middle now. His job is to get Miller back on strike.

19.2

Prasidh Krishna To Vipraj Nigam OUT!

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.

Shubman Gill gets around to his bowler again, and the Gujarat Titans are trying to slow the game down here.

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.

Last over coming up now. Have to say Delhi Capitals are in the driver's seat, but all three results are still possible. To make matters worse for the Gujarat Titans, they have been penalised for slow over rate and will have to keep an extra fielder inside the circle. Prasidh Krishna has been handed the ball to try and defend the runs.

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.

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.

18.4

Mohammed Siraj To David Miller

Short of a length, over middle, pulled down to deep mid-wicket for a run.

Time for a conference. Shubman Gill has gone up to Mohammed Siraj now, but the look on their faces tells they are the ones under pressure now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

17.1

Kagiso Rabada To David Miller

Banged in short and at the batter, swung away to deep square leg for just a single.

Things shift massively in favour of the Titans. Vipraj Nigam walks out to bat now.

Mohammed Siraj To KL Rahul OUT!

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.

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.

16.5

Mohammed Siraj To KL Rahul

WIDE! Full and wide outside off, sprayed beyond the tramline once again for another extra run.

16.5

Mohammed Siraj To KL Rahul

WIDE! Fullish length, pushed wide outside the off stump and Rahul leaves it alone.

Will David Miller come back now? Yes, he will.

16.4

Mohammed Siraj To KL Rahul OUT!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Will Kagiso Rabada bowl out now? No, Mohammed Siraj replaces him.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

15.2

Ashok Sharma To KL Rahul

WIDE! Sharma goes wide outside the off stump now, but sprays the ball beyond the tramline.

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.

STRATEGIC BREAK! Gujarat Titans seem to be ahead in the game now and a lot rides on the shoulders of KL Rahul if Delhi Capitals are to get over the line in this mammoth run chase. Remember, GT scored just 49 runs in their last 5 overs, while DC currently need 69 more to win in the final 5 overs. Still, a couple of big overs and suddenly it can become a close call but GT will know that a wicket or two here will really put them in the driver's seat. Let's see how the game pans out. Also, Ashok Sharma to bowl after the break.

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.

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.

14.3

Kagiso Rabada To Tristan Stubbs

Touch fuller and on middle, Tristan Stubbs works it to long on for a run.

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.

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.

14.1

Kagiso Rabada To KL Rahul

WIDE! Fuller one but down the leg side, KL Rahul fails to glance it away. Wided.

Last ball of Rashid's spell and Axar will feel, he could have curtailed his inhibitions and see him off. Doesn't matter now, and Tristan Stubbs walks out to bat.

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.

13.5

Rashid Khan To KL Rahul

Quicker one, full and on leg, KL Rahul tucks it through mid-wicket for one.

13.4

Rashid Khan To KL Rahul

Slows it up, full and on middle, KL Rahul fends it to the leg side.

13.3

Rashid Khan To Axar Patel

Drops it short and on off, Axar Patel moves back and punches it towards extra cover for another run.

13.2

Rashid Khan To KL Rahul

Floated, full and around middle, KL Rahul goes down and swipes it to deep square leg for a run.

13.1

Rashid Khan To Axar Patel

No hat-trick! Flighted, full and on middle, Axar Patel drills it to long on for a single.

Uh, oh! Not a good sign for the Capitals as David Miller is now being Retired Hurt as he grimaces in pain. Axar Patel walks in as the new batter, and Rashid Khan is back in to finish his spell.

Ouch! David Miller is looking in some discomfort and is unable to continue. A blow to the batting team as David Miller is retired hurt.

Pitched up, on the pads, David Miller works it through mid-wicket for one.

Much fuller and on leg, David Miller tucks it away towards deep mid-wicket and comes back for the second run.

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.

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.

12.1

Prasidh Krishna To KL Rahul

Low full toss, tailing in, KL Rahul flicks it to deep square leg for a single.

It seems like David Miller is having an issue with the left thumb. He might have injured himself again while diving in the previous over. In the first innings, Miller dove onto one of the practice pitches and seemed to have hurt his hand. The physio is having a look. Everything seems fine now and Prasidh Krishna is also back into the attack.

WIDE! Ashok Sharma gets the slower one completely wrong, bangs it way outside off, almost over the strip. David Miller lets it go. The umpires check whether it is a No Ball or Wide, but are happy with the Wide call.

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.

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.

Floated, short and on off, turns in a bit, KL Rahul stabs it out past the bowler towards long off for a single.

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.

The crowd has suddenly gone silent here. They cannot believe what has happened in the last two balls, but the Gujarat Titans are overjoyed. That brings David Miller out to the middle. Also, Washington Sundar to bowl now.

Rashid Khan To Sameer Rizvi OUT!

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.

Nitish Rana once again fails to make an impact. It's time for the hero from the last two games, Sameer Rizvi, to come in as the Impact Sub. He replaces Mukesh Kumar.

Mukesh Kumar is substituted by Sameer Rizvi

9.5

Rashid Khan To Nitish Rana OUT!

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.

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.

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.

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.

9.1

Rashid Khan To Nitish Rana

Floated, full and around leg, Nitish Rana tucks it to short fine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A sigh of relief for the Gujarat Titans as they finally get the breakthrough. Nitish Rana walks out to bat at number 3.

8.1

Prasidh Krishna To Pathum Nissanka OUT!

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.

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.

7.5

Rashid Khan To KL Rahul

Flatter again, attacking the stumps, Rahul comes down the pitch and hacks the big shot towards deep mid-wicket for a run.

7.4

Rashid Khan To KL Rahul

There's that big googly from Rashid. Flatter and on off, darts back in sharply. KL Rahul gets pegged back but manages to keep it out.

7.3

Rashid Khan To Pathum Nissanka

Full again, straighter, Nissanka pushes it down to long on for one more and moves into the 40s.

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.

7.1

Rashid Khan To Pathum Nissanka

A touch short, around off, punched away to sweeper cover for a single.

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.

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.

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.

6.3

Prasidh Krishna To Pathum Nissanka

Length ball on the pads, flicked away down to the right of deep backward square leg for a couple of runs.

6.2

Prasidh Krishna To Pathum Nissanka

Goes fuller now and at the stumps, Nissanka looks to flick it away but ends up getting a leading edge back towards the bowler.

6.1

Prasidh Krishna To KL Rahul

Just short of a good length, over middle and at 135 kph, Rahul hops up and nudges it through mid-wicket for a single.

Strategic Break! 40/0 in 5 has turned into 63/0 in a flash, and Delhi Capitals will be feeling a lot better at the end of the Powerplay. Pathum Nissanka has been superb, hitting it to all areas in the field, making it difficult for the bowlers to stick to one length. KL Rahul is playing the supporting role, as he often does. The openers have set up the platform for this big chase, but these two will be hoping to extend this as much as possible. A lot to think about for Shubman Gill and Co in this break, getting in with different plans as they are desperately in need of wickets here. Prasidh Krishna has been called upon to do that job.

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.

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.

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.

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.

5.2

Ashok Sharma To KL Rahul

Back of a length and at the batter, tucked away neatly through square leg for a single.

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.

Double change? Yes, indeed. Ashok Sharma comes into the attack now.

KL Rahul will be kicking himself for not putting this away! This is another full toss, just on off. Rahul tries for finesse instead of power but ends up driving it straight to extra cover. DC need 175 runs in 96 balls now.

Back of a length and around off, KL Rahul stays back and punches it sweetly but straight to mid off.

3.4

Another full toss, on off, Pathum Nissanka swipes it to deep square leg for another run.

3.2

3.1

Mohammed Siraj To KL Rahul

Swing and a miss! Back of a length and outside off, does not bounce much. KL Rahul has a big heave across the line but misses due to the lack of bounce.

2.1

Mohammed Siraj To KL Rahul

Fuller and on middle, KL Rahul stands still and lofts it with a straight bat over the bowler's head. He does not get the timing right and long on is able to cut it out, running to his left. Two taken.

Early change in the bowling? Nope, Siraj to continue for now.

1.5

Kagiso Rabada To Pathum Nissanka

Kagiso Rabada begins with a fuller delivery, on middle, angling in. KL Rahul flicks it with great timing but fails to beat Rashid Khan at mid-wicket.

An expensive start from Siraj yet again with the new ball, and Nissanka has played a few eye-catching shots. It will be Kagiso Rabada to start from the other end.
