We are back for the chase! Gujarat players make their way out to the middle.
...THE RUN CHASE…
Now the target is not a big one and the wicket is a decent one to bat on. There is something for the bowlers in it. This game hangs in the balance at the moment. A good second half awaits.
Shubman Gill is down for a chat. He says that it felt good to contribute runs for himself and team, He adds that the plan was to keep rotating the strike whenever possible. Tells that the wicket is good and it was holding a bit in the start but got better as the game progressed. Mentions that anything between 165-180 is a good score on this wicket and hopes that they can defend it.
Delhi started off well, they were really good for the first 10 overs. The likes of Mustafizur Rahman, Kuldeep Yadav and Thakur bowled decently up front. However, they leaked a lot of runs from the 10th over to the 16th. They, though came back strongly by picking up wickets at regular intervals towards the end.
Gujarat did not have the best of starts with the bat as they lost a wicket early. Shankar and Gill then steadied things but Shankar fell immediately after the Powerplay. Pandya then came in and formed another stand with Gill. It was slow going for the first 10 but then the two upped the ante. However, both Gill and Pandya fell at the wrong time. When Gill was batting 180 or even 190 looked possible but after his wicket, the boundaries were difficult to come by and in the end they have fallen short of that mark.
Delhi have done extremely well to keep the score to under 180 but Gujarat won't be very disappointed with where they are at the moment. The score is probably just about par, especially with no signs of dew as of now.
