Initially, Prasidh Krishna’s four-wicket haul saw GT restrict DC to 203/8 in 20 overs.
Having won by seven wickets, Player of the Match Jos Buttler said, “Really pleased with the two points. It was a beautiful wicket to bat on, just wanted to try and take it deep, pick our moments to attack. We've built some nice partnerships along the way. It's hot, surprised how much fluid you need, how draining it is. Cramping up and stuff. Part of the game, you got to be fit and perform under pressure and heat.”
“(On his diving catch) I have kept poorly in the first six games, I was determined to try and keep better. Always nice when you manage to hang on to one like that. I have enjoyed batting with him (Rutherford). He hits sixes out of nowhere. His sixes off Mohit changed the game and the momentum. You want to win the game, I had my chances before that, two points is the most important thing. I told Rahul not to worry about my score, we got to win. Credit to him, he's done that over the last few years where he can find the fence from ball one,” he added.
