DC 22-0 (2 Ovs) vs GT | Scorecard

Prithvi Shaw and Fraser-McGurk stride confidently to the crease, ready to face the challenge ahead. It's Shaw who stands poised, awaiting the delivery from Azmatullah who's set to open the attack.

With a deft flick of his wrist, Shaw sends the ball racing between cover and cover-point, the crowd erupting as it finds the boundary for a glorious four. He follows it up with a quick single, showcasing his trademark speed between the wickets.

Fraser-McGurk, on the other hand, looks to assert himself but finds the fielders with his attempted drive, denying him any runs. A lapse in fielding near the boundary gifts Jake a boundary, much to the dismay of Warrier.

Luck seems to favour him as a mistimed shot hangs tantalizingly in the air, only for Rashid to misjudge the catch, granting Fraser-McGurk a reprieve.

Despite the missed opportunity, Azmatullah's first over yields 10 runs, setting an energetic tone for the innings.

Sandeep Warrier takes up the attack from the opposite end, his approach met with a determined defensive stroke from Jake, signalling his readiness to face the challenge. However, Warrier's next delivery strays down the leg side, prompting the umpire to signal a wide.

Undeterred, Jake continues to showcase his composure, solidly defending the following two deliveries. But then, seizing on a loose delivery, he unleashes a powerful whip shot over long leg, sending the ball soaring over the boundary ropes for a resounding six.

The momentum firmly in their favour, Jake follows up with a well-timed boundary, much to the delight of the fans. Sensing an opportunity for quick runs, the duo efficiently rotate the strike, adding a single to their tally to conclude the over.

With 12 runs plundered from Warrier's over, the scoreboard reads 22-0 after two overs, positioning DC in a promising position early in the innings.
