Shaw, Dhawan give Delhi a flying start

April 10, 2021 22:00

Delhi 65-0 (6 ovs) vs CSK 188-7 | Scorecard

Shardul Thakur comes into the attack. Dhawan moves across outside the off-stump before he steers a wide full delivery past short thirdman for a four and then takes a single to mid-off.

Shaw plays another cracking shot, punching Thakur through the covers for a wonderfully-timed four, to take Delhi past 50, in the fifth over.

The young opener then steers Thakur's fifth delivery past short thirdman for another four.

He ends the over in grand style, lofting the pace bowler over mid-off for the fourth four of the over, which goes for 17 runs.

Change of ends for Chahar as he takes over from Curran. No stopping Shaw at the moment as he steers the second ball through thirdman for his sixth four.

A single to Shaw on the off-side before Dhawan pulls the last ball which is brilliantly stopped by a diving midwicket fielder to keep it down to just a single.

Delhi off to a flier as they race to 65 for no loss in six overs.

Shaw has smashed his way to a brilliant 36 from 18 balls with an array of some beautiful shots, while Dhawan has stroked 29 from as many balls with the two openers rotating the strike well.

They need 124 from 14 overs for victory at an asking rate of 8.8.
