DC 44-3 (6 Ovs) vs GT | Scorecard

Azmatullah maintains his tight line and length, keeping Axar Patel and Hope on their toes as they deal primarily in singles. However, Hope breaks the shackles momentarily, unleashing a powerful stroke to find the boundary ropes, providing a brief respite for DC.

But the respite is short-lived as Hope swings and misses at a delivery, unable to connect with the ball. The over concludes with a dot ball, adding 7 runs to DC's total as they reach 43-2 after 5 overs, facing a bit of pressure with the loss of early wickets.

Sandeep Warrier, the wicket-taker, resumes his spell, posing a threat with his consistent bowling. Axar Patel manages just a single off a good delivery aimed at the stumps, while Hope hops to nudge the ball for another single.

Hope attempts to drive the next delivery to cover, but finds the fielder and is unable to add to the score. Unfortunately for DC, Hope's innings comes to an abrupt end as he is caught by Rashid Khan at deep backward point, departing for a modest 5 off 6 balls.

With Hope's dismissal, DC finds themselves in a precarious position, grappling with the loss of key wickets and the mounting pressure of the game.

Pant, the new batter, defends the last two. At the end of the powerplay DC are 44-3.
