0.0 : JP Duminy won't be playing as he is 'under the weather', says Zaheer Khan. It will cause a major dent in the Delhi batting for sure. Lots of pressure on the likes of Quentin de Kock and the semi-tested Carlos Brathwaite. |
0.2 : Shreyas Iyer is in, and Shreyas Iyer is out. Big swing for the bowler does him in. There was something about Andre Russell being the MVP. |
0.5 : DD are in huge trouble now as Q de Kock is back in the hut. This batting lineup is already coming apart and they dont have the luxury of JP Duminy down the order.
|
2.6 : Sanju Samson and Karun Nair doing some rebuilding work after the fall of two wickets in the first over. But they will have to continue for a long while. This batting order is brittle. |
