| 11.1 : 11.1: Lalit Yadav to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Oh, Lalit Yadav, you beauty! He has pulled off a stunner here! This one is tossed up on middle and Rahane uses his feet to reach to the ball and drives it right of the bowler. It is bit aerial though but not much. However, Lalit Yadav dives and takes a superb low catch with his right hand. What a catch! |

| 16.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Ambati Rayudu, OUT! CAUGHT! Khaleel Ahmed comes into the attack and strikes! This is a length delivery angling across the off stump away from the right-hander.

Deepak Chahar walks out to the middle now. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Mitchell Marsh to MS Dhoni, OUT! CAUGHT! This time Dhoni holes out at long on! Shortish slower delivery on off. Dhoni tries to pump it down the ground but does not get any timing this time. He hits it straight to Warner at long on. Marsh gets his third wicket! |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Deepak Chahar to David Warner, OUT! TAKEN! David Warner is out of here for a duckl Deepak Chahar gets the opposition skipper in the first over itself. The worst start possible for Delhi in this must-win game. This is shorter and around off, a little bit of extra bounce and comes slow off the surface. Warner looks to cut but is through the shot and hence, it goes uppishly towards cover. Ajinkya Rahane takes it. |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Tushar Deshpande to Philip Salt, FOUR! Clipped away! That is a gift! A short one on the pads with no fine leg in place. Philip Salt pulls it down to the fine leg fence and that will release a lot of pressure. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Tushar Deshpande to Philip Salt, SIX! BANG! Take that! Over the fence. 10 from the last two balls and all the pressure that was built has been released! This is short again, Philip Salt steps out and this time he slams it well over the long on fence. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Deepak Chahar to Philip Salt, SIX! KABOOM! Over the fence! This is nailed! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled over the mid-wicket fence for a massive hit. Salt is timing it well here. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Deepak Chahar to Philip Salt, OUT! TAKEN! That is a really good catch from Ambati Rayudu and Salt, who was looking dangerous, has to walk back. Deepak Chahar has both the openers now. Smart stuff. Salt was quite comfortable with the deliveries bowled closer to him so this time, Chahar goes wide and shorter outside off. Philip Salt looks to slam it down the ground but it goes off the toe-end. Ambati Rayudu at mid on, runs back and takes it well. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Deepak Chahar to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! That is a gift and Marsh puts it away! A full toss outside off, this is driven through covers and the ball races away. End of an action-packed over. 12 runs and a wicket from it. |
| 3.1 : 3.1: Tushar Deshpande to Manish Pandey, OUT! RUN OUT! Stop, start, stop, start and it results in a run out! Marsh has to walk back now and this is disaster for Delhi! This is on a length and around off, it is pushed towards cover. Pandey takes off, Marsh then goes for it. However, Pandey sees Ajinkya Rahane get to the ball quickly and turn back. Clever from Rahane who just runs towards the stumps at the bowler's end and takes the bails off. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Deepak Chahar to Rilee Rossouw, SIX! Into the stand! That is a massive hit! Shorter and on middle, it is pulled over the square leg fence. That is some hit. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Deepak Chahar to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! Wonderful timing! Steps out, this is a length ball on off, it is timed down the ground wonderfully towards the long off fence. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Deepak Chahar to Manish Pandey, FOUR! Finds the gap! Shorter and angled into the body, Manish Pandey pulls, it goes uppishly but just wide of mid on and into the fence. This is a massive over for the visitors. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Moeen Ali to Manish Pandey, SIX! Over the fence! That will release some pressure. That was right in the slot. Tossed up outside off, a little too full. Manish Pandey lofts it over the long off fence for a biggie. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Rilee Rossouw, FOUR! Nicely played! This was yet again a little too full and it is put away! Outside off, Rilee Rossouw slams it through covers. No chance for the fielder. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Matheesha Pathirana to Manish Pandey, SIX! BANG! That is a masive hit and Delho need a few more of these! This is fuller and on middle, he gets under it and heaves it over the mid-wicket fence. The fuller balls are easier to hit. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Matheesha Pathirana to Manish Pandey, OUT! LBW! That is as plumb as it gets and Manish Pandey knew that! This is a full length yorker on middle. Manish Pandey walks across and looks to whip it on the leg side but gets his bat down late, it hits the pad and goes towards third man. An appeal and the finger is raised. The stand which was going along nicely has been broken. Manish Pandey was probably the key for Delhi on this wicket. 84 needed in 42. Excellent finish by Matheesha Pathirana as |
| 14.3 : 14.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Rilee Rossouw, OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder and that probably should be the game for the hosts! Rilee Rossouw can't believe how he did not hit it out of the ground! That was in the slot. On middle, fuller, Rilee Rossouw looks to go over long on but it goes more off the toe-end. Matheesha Pathirana takes it with ease. |
| 15.3: Matheesha Pathirana to Axar Patel, FOUR! Crunched! That is nailed! This is a full toss, Axar Patel slams it through covers and this one races away to the fence. He is probably the last hope for Delhi. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Maheesh Theekshana to Axar Patel, SIX! Need a lot more of these. That is a top shot. Maheesh Theekshana goes wide of the stumps, Axar Patel lofts it over the cover fence for a massive six. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Matheesha Pathirana to Axar Patel, FOUR! Carved through the off side. A full toss outside off, this is nailed through covers and this one races away to the fence. |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Matheesha Pathirana to Axar Patel, OUT! TAKEN! Matheesha Pathirana has another one! This is fuller and on middle, a lovely slower one. Axar Patel looks to go downtown but ends up hitting it high up in the air as he is through the shot early. It goes towards long on. Ajinkya Rahane takes it. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Matheesha Pathirana to Lalit Yadav, FOUR! Pulled away! Shorter and on the body, Lalit Yadav nails the pull through square leg and the ball races away to the fence. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Matheesha Pathirana to Lalit Yadav, FOUR! Just over! This is on the shorter side, Lalit Yadav guides it over point for another boundary. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Matheesha Pathirana to Lalit Yadav, FOUR! Three in a row now! Shorter and on middle, this is pulled through mid-wicket. No chance of stopping that. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Matheesha Pathirana to Lalit Yadav, OUT! TIMBER! Matheesha Pathirana gets his revenge! This is just not picked! A slower one, very nicely disguised. Lalit Yadav does not pick it, he is through the shot and it hits the stumps. |
| 18.5: Tushar Deshpande to Ripal Patel, OUT! Direct hit and Ripal Patel is gone! This is fuller and on middle, this is lofted over the bowler's head. Tushar Deshpande runs back but does not get to it. The batters go for two. Moeen Ali picks the ball up and throws it towards the keeper's end and it hits the stumps. Ripal Patel is short. |
