DC 143-3 (16 Ovs) vs GT | Scorecard

Mohit Sharma returns to the attack, hoping to make an impact and disrupt the flow of runs for GT. However, Pant has other plans as he greets Mohit with a powerful six, sending the ball sailing over the boundary ropes with authority.

Following the boundary, Pant cleverly guides the ball to deep point for a single, rotating the strike and maintaining the momentum for DC. Axar Patel joins the action, punching a slower delivery for a couple of runs, displaying his adaptability and skill.

Axar continues his aggressive approach, riding the bounce of the next delivery and hammering it to deep midwicket for a single, adding to DC's total. Sensing an opportunity to accelerate, Pant unleashes another powerful stroke, this time clearing the boundary ropes with ease for another six.

However, Mohit responds with a well-directed bouncer, and Pant swings but fails to make contact, missing out on the opportunity to add more runs to the scoreboard.

With 16 runs plundered from Mohit's over, DC's total surges to 143-3 after 16 overs.
