Gujarat 92-4 (14 ovs) vs Delhi


Zaheer, who has three overs in hand, brings himself back into the attack. Karthik drives the first ball through the off-side for two runs. He looks to pull the third ball but is struck on the body before he uppishly drives the next ball through midwicket for three runs.

Karthik has another close shave as he looks for another single but is sent back as striker Jadeja is not interested, and is lucky that the fielder did not get the direct hit.

Jadeja pulls the last ball to midwicket for one to end a good probing over from the Delhi captain.

Karthik looking in good touch as he makes most of a short ball from Duminy, cutting it square on the off-side for a four before getting a single to take his score to 36.

Zaheer attempts another short ball but this time Karthik pulls it confidently through square leg for a four. He steers the third ball to thirdman for one before Jadeja struggles to get going, facing three dot balls in a row.

After 13 overs, Gujarat are 92 for four with Karthik on 41 from 35 balls and Jadeja on two from six balls. They will need a good finish in the last few overs to end up on a score around the 160-run mark.
