0.4 overs: FOUR! Jos Buttler opens his account with a four towards Kagiso Rabada’s fine leg. RR 5/0
Welcome back! Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler to start the RR chase. Kagiso Rabada with the ball for DC.
Rahul Tewatia (4-0-20-1):“I thought we had to vary the pace on this court as it is a small field and especially we have to play with the lines. I was just planning not to give the batters a lot of time and push the ball faster than giving more time to air. . Luckily I got the Hetmyer catch because it looked nice touch. First I thought I had miscalculated it and then I stayed close to the bounding strings to complete the capture. The total is actionable and it has been a huge effort on the part of the bowlers and now it’s up to the batsmen to do the rest. “
