Match over
0.5 : 0.5: Mohammad Shami to David Warner, FOUR! Angling down leg, David Warner stays back and tickles it fine. Wriddhiman Saha dives full stretch to hid right but can't get there. The ball runs away into the fence.
1.6 : 1.6: Joshua Little to David Warner, FOUR! BANG! Short and wide outside off. David Warner hangs back and cuts this through the extra cover region for a boundary. Joshua Little gave the width and Warner accepted this. Easy pickings for the batter. 
2.1 : 2.1: Mohammad Shami to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Put away! Good length outside off and shaping away. Prithvi Shaw stays put and goes hard at it, getting a thick outside edge over the slip cordon into the third man fence.
2.4 : 2.4: Mohammad Shami to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! CAUGHT! Mohammad Shami has the last laugh here as he draws first blood and sends Prithvi Shaw packing. This is banged in around off stump and hurries onto the batter. Shaw doesn't move his feet and looks to drag the pull shot over mid-wicket. Shaw mistimes it badly in the air and Alzarri Joseph at mid on takes a simple catch. Shaw lives and dies by the sword as Gujarat have their first wicket.
3.6 : 3.6: Joshua Little to David Warner, FOUR! Joshua Little serves a high full toss around off, David Warner looks to pull but gets a thick outside edge that runs down into the third man fence for a boundary. Warner thinks its too high and reviews it. The third umpire checks the replays and finds the ball to be below waist height and it will be a fair delivery.

4.2: Mohammad Shami to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Mohammad Shami gets his second wicket and Delhi lose two inside the first five overs. Shami bowls it on a hard length in that channel around off. Mitchell Marsh stays on the back foot and looks to repeat the trick from the previous delivery and punch it away. Marsh's feet don't go anywhere and he ends up getting an inside edge and the ball goes back on to hit the stumps. Marsh is devastated and Gujarat are elated.

8.3 : 8.3: Alzarri Joseph to Rilee Rossouw, OUT! WICKET! TAKEN! 146 kmph! A sharp bouncer around off. This was around the chin height as Rilee Rossouw looked to fend it away but the ball takes the splice of the blade and flies away toward the point. Rahul Tewatia runs in from the point and takes a brilliant low catch to his right to dismiss Rossouw for a golden duck. Delhi are in some trouble now. They have lost two of their big-match players off back-to-back balls.
