DC 66-2 (6 ovs) vs CSK 212-2 | SCORECARD

Khaleel Ahmed is back into the attack and Pathum Nissanka plays out a dot before pulling the next towards long-on for a couple. 

Nissanka then pulls one to deep backward square leg and Noor Ahmed jumps high and stops it from going over the ropes. Brilliant effort as the batter gets only two runs.

Four! Short delivery and Nissanka slaps it over extra-cover for a boundary.

A single through backward square leg brings Rahul on strike. 

Out! Rahul departs, caught by Jamie Overton. Good bouncer and Rahul mistimes the pull to Overton at mid-wicket. 

He goes  for a 10-ball 18 with two boundaries and a six. 

Sameer Rizvi is the new man in. Nine runs came off the over.


Anshul Kamboj continues and Nissanka flicks the first delivery straight to the fielder at short fine leg but Khaleel drops a dolly! 

Out! Nissanka goes, caught by Dewald Brevis. Nissanka plays a fuller delivery aerially but fails to get the elevation and Brevis takes a simple catch at mid-on. 

DC lose both openers. 

Nissanka goes for a 24-ball 41 with five boundaries and two sixes. 


Axar Patel comes to the crease and gets off the mark by carving one to third man for a single. 

Four! Sameer Rizvi with an exquisite cover drive to open his account. 

Two dots to end the five-run over.
