GL 172/6 (20)
Gujarat won by 1 run
DD 171/5 (20)
Match over
Commentary :
10.0 :

Gujarat Lions are 110/0 in 10 overs. 230 is on the cards from here. Anything under 210 will be disappointing even if wickets fall.

GL are 128/3 at the 'CEAT Tyres' Strategic Timeout (saying CEAT tyres is compulsory). That means that they have got just 18 runs from the last four overs and lost 3 wickets. Quite a turnaround for a T20 game. GL must finish well.

Gujarat Lions are 134/4 after 16 overs. 24 runs in the last six overs and four wickets. Gujarat need a big flourish in this final four overs.

Delhi Daredevils have started badly, losing Sanju Samson in the first over for one. The run is exactly one at the moment. Nearly 10 an over needed from here.

8.1 :

Brendon McCullum reaches his fifty in 27 balls. It has been crisp, clean hitting, helped also by some poor fielding and bowling.

11.2 :

Brendon McCullum seems to have injured his back in getting out. He had a middle and leg stump guard, but failed to read a quick full toss that dipped sharply near the end of its journey. Out bowled. GL are suddenly two down as Smith was out last over. The match is still in their control but two new batsmen at the crease now.

0.3 :

FOUR, FOUR. Dwayne Smith gets off to a flying start. Delhi have problems already.

Gujarat Lions have got 71 from the powerplay overs, and then McCullum cracks two more boundaries to extend the agony. 

4.4 :

Chris Morris has been introduced to try some pace and bounce. But he bowls the third ball on length on off stump and it disappears down the ground. The credit that he had accumulated by bowling two good deliveries has been lost.

Quinton de Kock lost patience, went for a big shot after hitting a boundary, and lost his wicket. DD already in trouble, looking like the DD of old.

2.5 :

SIX. Gujarat Lions are absolutely on fire. Brendon McCullum hits length into the stands to begin his assault. Bad time to be Zaheer Khan. 18 from his first over and 14 from his second.

0.6 :

Four boundaries in the first over. It went something like this - bowler error, bad luck, fielder error and misfield. Two of the four boundaries were definitely stoppable. 

Chris Morris was ridiculed when he was hammered at the World T20, but he has come back strong. 2 wickets in the over, with the names of Brendon McCullum and Suresh Raina on them. The game has turned in two overs.

Two wickets off consecutive balls by Imran Tahir in the 17th over. Gujarat have really collapsed here. They were 110/0 at the end of 10 overs. We said 210 would be par from there. Now 170 will be a good effort.

Gujarat Lions have finished on 172/6. From looking like they were gonna reach 220. 62/6 in the second ten overs for the new IPL franchise. Delhi bowled and fielded really well after the first 10 overs, and the result is a moderate, eminently chaseable total of 172.
