By OVER 1: DC’s Axar Patel to SRH’s Kane Williamson and David Warner
It was surprising to see skipper Pant throwing the ball to Axar for two reasons. One: They had Kagiso Rabada who has both his Super Overs in the IPL. Two: It was Axar’s first match after recovering from Covid 19.
Ball 1: Axar fired the ball straight and full to David Warner, who looked to slog-sweep it but missed it completely. 0/0
Ball 2: Warner slogged the ball turning into him, and this time, for a single to deep square leg. 1/0
Ball 3: Williamson made the most of Axar’s error, who pitched it short, by pulling through square leg for four. 5/0
Ball 4: Axar responded with a dot ball. It was short again but this time, Williamson missed the pull shot. 5/0
Ball 5: Williamson is struck on the pads while attempting to hit a reverse-sweep. The batsmen ran one but DC reviewed it. Replay showed the ball was missing the stumps. 6/0
Ball 6: Huge error from David Warner that potentially cost them the match. Batsmen ran two and made it back home comfortably but the replay showed Warner ran one short. SRH finished at 7/0

OVER 2: SRH’s Rashid Khan to DC’s Rishabh Pant and Shikhar Dhawan
Statistics revealed that Rashid Khan may not have been their best option as he had lost both his Super Overs but Warner continued to show faith in him. 6 balls later, Rashid’s 2/2 became 3/3.
Ball 1 – Pant smacked the googly from Rashid to deep square leg for a single. 1/0
Ball 2 – Dhawan looked to sweep a quicker delivery on his pads but missed the ball. Batsmen ran one leg-byes. 2/0
Ball 3 – Pant did what Pant does best; bring out audacious shots in pressure situations. Reverse-sweeped Rashid for four. The ball flew over short third man. 6/0
Ball 4 – Rashid responded with a dot ball. Pant looked to the aerial route over covers by making room. However, he ended up edging the ball onto his pads. 6/0
Ball 5 – Scores level after Pant missed a slog sweep but they ran one leg-byes. SRH’s appeal for LBW was turned down and they took a review. Replay shows the ball was missing the stumps. 7/0
Ball 6- DC stuttered home to victory with another leg-bye. Dhawan missed the sweep but batsmen ran a single to bring the curtains down on a thriller. 8/0
