Gujarat 123-4 (17 ovs) vs Delhi


Mohammed Shami is called back into the attack. Karthik playing sensibly as he flicks the first ball through midwicket for two runs and picks one from the next.

Jadeja struggles as he plays another dot ball before he breaks the shackles by pulling one over midwicket for a four followed by two more short balls.

Nadeem is back as Zaheer keeps his one over for the death. Karthik comes down the track to the first ball and lofts it over the covers for two runs and then sweeps the next for another couple.

He smashes one back straight for a single before Jadeja punches one past covers and gives the fielder at long-off no chance, for a much-needed boundary.

Jadeja takes a cue from Karthik as he taps Nadeem square on the leg side for two more runs and keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Zaheer comes back as Jadeja drives the first ball straight, wide of mid-on for two runs. The left-hander lofts the next ball straight back over the bowler's head for a four, making most of the mid-off fielder inside the circle.

The next ball is short and Jadeja rocks back before steering it past point for another boundary.

He has a wild swing off the fifth ball as he spoons it high on the leg side where Nadeem rushes in from deep midwicket but fails to hold on to a tough chance.

A good over for Gujarat as Zaheer concedes 13 in his final over to finish with good figures of one for 17 in four overs.

Gujarat have staged a good recovery in the last few overs to reach 123 for four in 17 overs with Karthik on 49 from 40 balls and Jadeja on 24 from 19 balls.
