Delhi Daredevils vs Gujarat Lions Live Commentary, 23rd T20, Indian Premier League 2016, April 27, 2016

GL 172/6 (20)
Gujarat won by 1 run
DD 171/5 (20)
Match over
Gujarat Lions Inning Delhi Daredevils Inning
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.

Join us back shortly for the coverage of Delhi's run chase
End of over: GUJ 172/6 (Bravo 7, Faulkner 22)
2.0 :

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.

Delhi Daredevils are a pathetic 22/3 at the end of the powerplay of six overs. The required rate is now inching towards 11. To put things in perspective, GL were 71/0 at this stage. There can't be more contrasting starts than this.

Strategic timeout. Delhi have made slow progress to reach 43/3. The Gujarat bowlers have been superb. None has gone for over 6 an over except Raina who's bowled only one over for 9.
12.1 :

Delhi Daredevils have struck a few lusty blows in the last 10 balls or so. Is this match following the format of a reverse bell curve? Pathetic batting in the middle and great at the beginning and end? Can Delhi pull off a miracle?

FOUR. James Faulkner puts down a fairly easy catch, which will probably decide the outcome of the match.
3.4 :

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.

GONE. Pant is gone, because he tries to flick the ball out of the ground and fails miserably. Delhi Daredevils are being sucked into a hole here from which there is no way out.

Chris Morris is destroying Dwayne Smith. He has smashed 58 in 18 balls. Who says his price was not worth it in the IPL? Suddenly, from a near hopeless position, DD are in the driver's seat!! Figure this: DD scored 50 in the first 10 overs and 92 in the next 6.4 overs.

Praveen Kumar, with figures of 3 overs for 9 before this, has conceded just 2 off his first four balls. How many will he give this over?
9.5 :

Nope. They won't even be reaching 62 now. Has the pitch changed over the last 20 overs of this game?
3.6 :

GONE. Dhawal Kulkarni gets his third wicket, off a bad, length ball on the hip. Great catch. Karun Nair goes. 16/3.

Suddenly, 16 runs from the over before the strategic timeout. 85 needed from 42 balls. This is 12 per over, eminently doable. What DD have actually managed is to start hitting the big shots just before the required run rate became too big.

SIX. SIX. Pravin Tambe is being massacred by Chris Morris, who has a chant going in his name in the stadium. DD have turned around this game dramatically in the last 5 overs. 64 runs off the last 5 overs.

14 needed from the last over after a terrific over by Praveen Kumar. Who bowls it? Has to be Bravo in my opinion.

Gujarat Lions have won the match by a single run! Some intelligent bowling from Bravo in the last over, bowling extremely low full tosses on leg stump. Chris Morris was unable to get the elevation to hit the crucial second boundary in the last over. Suresh Raina will be very relieved. So will James Faulkner after dropping a catch and conceding a boundary from the first ball. Bravo meanwhile has proved his credentials again.

Chris Morris took Delhi this close after they were really looking down the barrel at 50/3 in 10 overs. The match followed a very interesting pattern with both teams dominating the game twice. The difference in the end was one run.
