DC were put in to bat by KKR and had a decent start thanks to Pathum Nissanka and KL Rahul, who had a 49-run partnership in quick time. But things flipped soon after Rahul's wicket – although Nissanka reached fifty, wickets kept tumbling to arrest the momentum.(Hindustan Times)

The match turned when Anukul Roy delivered the wickets of Pathum Nissanka and Tristan Stubbs in the same over – DC's two trusty overseas options, both snapped up within a space of balls, and leaving them in trouble yet again. A wave of deja vu.(Rahul Singh)

Sunil Narine only took one wicket but bowled a terrific spell, conceding only 17 runs. Delhi's batters simply didn't have an answer – a 38-ball spell in the middle overs with no boundaries, the scoring rate dropping from close to 9 all the way down to 6.
