With 220 to get, should Delhi open the batting with Ajinkya Rahane in the run chase? Have your say on the Live Report


Mansoor: "Pollard loses his win streak as Captain and KG loses his wicket streak couple days later. IPL 2020!"

Prashant Vats: "Ah! As a Delhi fan for past 13 years, I still believe we can get to this total! All we need to come all gun blazing and attack right from the first ball! Pant Heymyer and Stoinis are capable enough to pull this through !"

Venky: "One would say Srh batted poorly in the death overs. Let's be honest, they are the worst batting side in the death overs and delhi are the best bowling side in that period. So I would say srh done fairly well without losing their way"

Josh: "I know it sounds crazy when a team makes 219 but I feel like the sunrisers left a few runs out there late. This chase isn't beyond Delhi."

Cricket Fan: ""Rabada is coming back for a third over. Forecaster says 218 from here." Not too bad from Forecaster there."

7:33pm SRH have only got 44 in the last five overs, a result DC will be overjoyed with after the start they had to endure. Took them a while to slow their pace down and use the grip on offer consistently. But there were also signs of dew and given the early assault, you can probably let them off for reacting late. Not that they're looking for any sympathy as they set out to chase 220. Stunning innings from David Warner to start off, and Saha matched his scoring rate after he fell. Their gamble on a new opening stand has gone decently so far. We're back for the chase soon.

Tasmeem: "Slower balls are holding on the pitch or keeping low. expect SRH to employ them frequently. On the other hand, DC kept on bowling on pace and gave SRH room to hit. A tactical mistake and looking like gonna cost them the match."

Nortje to Pandey, no run, lifts his foot to save his toes! There are peculiarities on offer every time Pandey is out in the middle, but this one is new. A yorker headed for his foot and he just lifts it. It slides through between the boot and leg stump

Kapil Baldawa: "DC have been given a big reality check today, of course helped by some good luck, especially with Saha. They needed to bowl smartly after PP but they kept feeding length and bowling both sides of the wicket. I don't see the getting even close to this score, especially with Rashid's 4 overs and they played him poorly last time around too"
