May 03, 2016  22:48


Delhi 105-0 (12 ovs) vs Gujarat 149-7


No stopping Pant as he heaves Kaushik over midwicket for another boundary. The next ball is a full toss which is driven through the same region but superb fielding from Jadeja keeps it down to just a single.

De Kock content to play second fiddle as he picks up another single before Pant drives the last ball through the off-side for two more runs.

At the halfway stage, Delhi have blasted their way to 93 for no loss in 10 overs, needing another 57 runs from 10 overs for victory.

Medium pacer Dwayne Smith comes into the attack. He bowls a good over first up, conceding just three singles as Delhi look content to just take it easy.

Surprisingly, Jadeja has still not been called into the attack. And Gujarat introduce their sixth bowler as left-arm pacer James Faulkner comes into the attack.

Three singles from the first five balls before Pant smashes the last ball straight back over the bowler's head for a six to take Delhi past the 100-run mark.

Delhi are cruising on 105 for no loss in 12 overs, needing another 45 runs from eight overs for victory.

Pant has dominated from the word go, smashing his way to 66 from 36 balls with de Kock content to play second fiddle on 37 from 36 balls.
