| 0.1 : 0.1: Azmatullah Omarzai to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Wow, what a start to the game! Fractionally short around off and swinging away, Prithvi Shaw stands upright and just punches it away through the covers region to get off the mark in style. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Azmatullah Omarzai to Jake Fraser-McGurk, FOUR! Oh, that is difficult to swallow for the bowler. Short of a good length and on the body, Jake Fraser-McGurk swings it away just behind deep square leg where Sandeep Warrier runs around to his right and slips, allowing the ball to go to the ropes. |
| 1.4: Sandeep Warrier to Jake Fraser-McGurk, SIX! That is crunched! Jake Fraser-McGurk lives life on the edge and after missing a couple, he connects one beautifully. Banged in short at the body, Jake swivels and pulls it away over deep square leg for a 93-meter maximum. |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Sandeep Warrier to Jake Fraser-McGurk, FOUR! Jake Fraser-McGurk never, ever applies the brakes and that's just how it is. Hard length on the stumps, Jake clears the front leg and just clubs this one over mid on for a boundary. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Azmatullah Omarzai to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! One bounce and over the ropes! Banged in short without any intent and just sat up for the batter. Prithvi Shaw takes it on and muscles it over wide mid on for another boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Azmatullah Omarzai to Jake Fraser-McGurk, SIX! Effortlessly done by Jake Fraser-McGurk! Pitched up on middle and leg and angling in on the pads, Jake just picks it up and chips it over the mid-wicket fence for a maximum. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Sandeep Warrier to Jake Fraser-McGurk, OUT! CAUGHT! It was bound to happen at some point and Jake Fraser-McGurk has found the fielder on this occasion. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Sandeep Warrier to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, that was touch-and-go but what a phenomenal grab from Noor Ahmad! |
| 4.5: Azmatullah Omarzai to Shai Hope, FOUR! Wow, that looked like a fine delivery but Shai Hope has ended up timing it to perfection. Full and straight, almost a full toss, Hope jams it straight back and the ball just rockets away between mid off and mid on to the fence. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Sandeep Warrier to Shai Hope, OUT! TAKEN! And this time, it's Rashid Khan who has taken an absolute stunner! What a dream spell it has been for Sandeep Warrier. |
| 6.4: Azmatullah Omarzai to Axar Patel, FOUR! Got off the blocks in style! Omarzai bowls it full and around off, Axar Patel takes the advantage of the width and lofts it over mid off and covers for a boundary. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Rashid Khan to Axar Patel, SIX! BOOM! Right into the slot, on the middle and leg, Axar Patel anticipates the length early, sits down on a knee and slogs it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Noor Ahmad to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! He makes it look so easy and effortless! Sprays it down leg, on a fuller length, Rishabh Pant is quick to sit down and ramps it over short fine for a boundary. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Rashid Khan to Axar Patel, FOUR! Nice shot! Short in length, turns on the pads on a length from middle, Axar Patel quickly rocks back and pulls it along the ground and bisects the gap between deep square leg and deep mid-wicket. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: Rashid Khan to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! A bit predictable here Rashid! Short once again, on the stumps, Rishabh Pant detects the length early and pulls it through square leg for another cracking boundary. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Noor Ahmad to Rishabh Pant, Six! |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Noor Ahmad to Axar Patel, FOUR! Delhi in the ascendancy now. Tossed up, full and outside off stump, Axar Patel does well to reach it and get under it and he powers it brilliantly over extra cover for a boundary. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Put away first ball! This is bowled short and over middle stump, around the waits, Rishabh Pant pulls it off the front foot and in front of square leg for a boundary. The 50-run stand also comes up between these two. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Gets it through! Another slower delivery, bowled on a shorter length and pushed across the off stump, Rishabh Pant waits back and cuts it hard through the point region for a boundary. |

| 13.6 : 13.6: Shahrukh Khan to Axar Patel, SIX! Axar Patel does end the over with a boundary and doesn't let the part-timer get away easily. Shorter one, into the pitch and over off stump, Patel goes on the back foot and pulls it high and just long enough over wide long on for a maximum. |
| 14.6: Rashid Khan to Axar Patel, FOUR! FIFTY for Axar Patel and it has been a fine knock so far but he needs to kick on from here. |
| 15.1 : 15.1: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, SIX! WOW! Such a beautiful use of the wrists! Bowls it right in the slot on the stumps, Rishabh Pant picks it up and flicks it neatly over deep mid-wicket for a superb six. Into his 40s now. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, SIX! Throws the kitchen-sink at it and gets the reward! Slower one outside off, Rishabh Pant waits for this fuller delivery and smacks it over long off for a maximum. |
| 16.4 : 16.4: Noor Ahmad to Axar Patel, SIX! What a shot! Looped up on the fuller length, around middle and off, Axar Patel sits down and swipes it with the slog over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |

| 17.2 : 17.2: Mohit Sharma to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Look at that! The guy brimming with confidence! Slow, on a length on the middle, Tristan Stubbs studies the pace well and waits before flat-batting it towards deep mid-wicket for a cracking four. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, SIX! A roaring FIFTY for the Delhi skipper! A juicy full toss on off from around the wicket, Rishabh Pant simply picks the bones out of it by lifting it and depositing it over deep mid-wicket. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: Sai Kishore to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Powerful shot that! |
| 18.4 : 18.4: Sai Kishore to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! Go fetch that says Stubbs! In front of off, straighter and fuller, Tristan Stubbs clears his front leg and clears the deep mid-wicket rope for a six. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Sai Kishore to Tristan Stubbs, FOUR! Absolute carnage from the man in form! Gee, he's strong! Kishore again goes wide of off, keeps it full, Tristan Stubbs cashes on the width and powerfully slaps it through covers for a boundary. No chance at all for the two converging fielders to even get near to it. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Sai Kishore to Tristan Stubbs, SIX! A much-needed acceleration for Delhi! Quicker through the air, but right into the hitting zone on the stumps, Tristan Stubbs clears his front leg and creates a strong base before depositing the ball behind long on for a six. 22 runs from the penultimate over and Delhi are on the brink of 200 here. |
| 19.2 : 19.2: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, SIX! Absolute ballistic! Full toss right on the stumps, Rishabh Pant doesn't time the ball quite well but manages to clear the ropes at widish long on. Shahrukh Khan miscalculates his jump and the ball sails over his hands for a maximum. Brings up the 200-mark for Delhi. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! He's found the gap again! Very wide of off, full toss again, Rishabh Pant reaches to it and throws his bat before slicing it flat through backward point for a boundary. Rishabh Pant is down on his knee after completing the shot! |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, SIX! Absolutely smoked that over the ropes! A predictable slower short-pitched delivery on the off stump line, Rishabh Pant stands in the crease, swivels across and pulls it over deep fine leg for a huge maximum. |

| 19.6 : 19.6: Mohit Sharma to Rishabh Pant, SIX! That's gone all the way as well! What a sensational finish from Rishabh Pant! Short in length, yet again a predictable one from Mohit. Rishabh Pant shuffles a bit to the off stump and pulls it over deep square leg for a biggie! 31 runs off the last over and Rishabh remains unbeaten on 88. |
| 0.1 : 0.1: Khaleel Ahmed to Wriddhiman Saha, FOUR! Off the mark with a beautiful cover drive! Full, slanting across off, Wriddhiman Saha covers his off stump and creams it past cover-point for a boundary. Sheer placement first up. |
| 1.1: Anrich Nortje to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Nortje gets a classic welcome! Full, on the pads, Shubman Gill neatly flicks it across towards deep mid-wicket for a beautiful boundary. Such a gracious shot this. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Anrich Nortje to Shubman Gill, OUT! TAKEN! Shubman Gill is in disarray and so is Gujarat as they lose their in-form skipper cheaply! Anrich Nortje cannons this one on a fuller length, and keeps the line in the channel of off, Shubman Gill is late on the shot as he tries to clear the 30-yard circle over mid off. He gets it off the bottom end of the blade and the ball carries straight into the hands of Axar Patel stationed at mid off. An early impact from Anrich Nortje and he gets his 150 |
| 1.4 : 1.4: Anrich Nortje to Sai Sudharsan, SIX! BEATEN FOR PACE! Guns this one by hitting the deck hard, around off, Sai Sudharsan arches back and cuts it uppishly toward deep backward square leg. Kuldeep Yadav patrolling that boundary stretches his left hand in the air to grab it but the ball evades him and goes beyond the ropes. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Anrich Nortje to Wriddhiman Saha, FOUR! Guided away! Sprays this by clocking 153, on the pads, Wriddhiman Saha just guides the ball towards deep fine leg for a boundary. |
| 2.2 : 2.2: Khaleel Ahmed to Wriddhiman Saha, FOUR! Races away to the fence! Not too short from Khaleel, pitches it on the off stump line, Wriddhiman Saha drags it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Khaleel Ahmed to Wriddhiman Saha, FOUR! Clears the in-field and gets the reward again! Full and on the pads, on middle and leg, Wriddhiman Saha picks it over mid-wicket for another boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Khaleel Ahmed to Wriddhiman Saha, SIX! How has that cleared the ropes? On a shade fuller length, at off, Wriddhiman Saha loses the grip from one hand and lifts it high up in the night sky, again, getting it from the inside half of the bat. The ball just sails over the long on ropes for a maximum to end the over. 17 runs from it. |
| 3.2 : 3.2: Anrich Nortje to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! Nicely done by Sudharsan! At 151 clicks, bangs into the pitch on the off stump line, Sai Sudharsan hops and climbs on the bounce and cuts it over short third for a boundary. |
| 3.3 : 3.3: Anrich Nortje to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! He's enjoying the pace of Nortje here! On the hard length, around off, Sai Sudharsan walks a couple of steps ahead and frees his arms slapping it through covers for a boundary. |

| 4.5 : 4.5: Rasikh Dar to Wriddhiman Saha, FOUR! Shot! |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Mukesh Kumar to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! Oh, dear! Anrich Nortje has made a mess of a customary stop and has cost his side an extra 3 runs.
