Presentation Time...

New York Strikers, on the other hand, will be disappointed but they did not have enough runs on board here. Earlier in the game, the batters failed to make an impact. Akeal Hosein and Donovan Ferreira scored 17 runs each, which was the highest individual score, and that says a lot as no one could cross the 20-run mark. Except for Sunil Narine and Reece Topley, every other bowler got a wicket each for them, but that was never going to be enough to defend such a small target.

Chasing a modest total, Delhi Bulls got off the blocks quickly. Both the openers scored freely and showed urgency to get to the total as quickly as possible. James Vince departed after a well-made 30 off just 15 balls while his partner, Tom Banton also followed suit. However, by then they reduced that target by more than half and set up a good platform. The Bulls did stutter a bit towards the end, but a fiery 21 off just 14 balls from Tim David got them closer to the finish line while Fabian Allen got the job done with one over to spare. However, to be honest, this win was set by the bowlers with Fazalhaq Farooqi and Sam Cook sharing six wickets equally, while Shadab Khan was impressive, picking up two crucial wickets. Salman Irshad also showed his incredible yorkers and got one and bowled that brilliant last over.

A fantastic win for the Delhi Bulls! They have outplayed their opponents on all facets of the game with an all-round effort. This win also takes them to the fourth position in the table and New York Strikers slip down to sixth and will have to depend on other results for the playoff qualification.

FOUR! That will do! Well outside off. Allen powers it through covers and it races to the fence. Delhi Bulls win by 5 wickets with an over to spare.

Too full and on middle, Allen nudges it to mid-wicket. Miscommunication between the batters again.

Fabian Allen walks out to bat now.

OUT! RUN OUT! Flatter and well outside off. Chaudhary drops it to point. Chaudhary wants a quick single. He is almost halfway down before Khan denies the run. He runs back but till then Shahrukh Sheikh throws it to the keeper, Donovan Ferreira who clips the bails off.

Length and outside off, Khan slaps it to point for a quick single.

Shadab Khan comes out to the middle now.

OUT! GONE! Kieron Pollard has a wicket! He gets his student David here! Short of a length and outside off. David powers it to deep mid-wicket. Felt like it would go all the way but Dewald Brevis takes it, he was going over the fence so lobs the ball, comes back in and takes it. David goes back for a quick cameo but will be disappointed that he could not finish the game off here.

Kieron Pollard serves it on a length and on middle, David respectfully blocks it out.
