Earlier, the much-talked about young Delhi batting lineup fail to live up to expectations and one by one fell by the wayside much to the joy of the home crowd. Stand-in captain Karun Nair was the only batsman to get to the double figures mark among the top five. Corey Anderson and Kagiso Rabada were the other two to get past 10 runs in what was a dreadful batting performance from the Daredevils. Axar Patel and Varun Aaron took two wickets each while Mohit Sharma and Maxwell took one wicket apiece.

Man of the Match, Sandeep Sharma says that he was feeling great. Mentions that this being his local ground, he knew what lines to bowl. Credits his coaches for the improvement in his bowling. On that brilliant caught and bowled, he says that he has been practicing.
Punjab's skipper Glenn Maxwell admits that the last few games were frustrating and is satisfied with the kind of performance they put in front of their home crowd. Adds that they didn't think the wicket will be on the slower side but it worked in favour of his bowlers. He is satisfied with his own bowling performance.
Delhi skipper, Karun Nair says that it was a pretty disappointing performance from them. Feels that losing too many wickets at the start and lack of intent proved to be their undoing. Adds that they have to pull their socks up and put this defeat behind. Mentions there wasn't much difference in the wicket, maybe a touch slow but definitely not a 67 all-out wicket.
To sum up this game, the visiting side was blown away by some magical bowling by Sandeep Sharma. They were bundled out for 67 and then Punjab chased it down without breaking a sweat.
