...Presentation next...
As said earlier, Delhi Bulls needed another 10-15 runs more to get something out of this game. It was a rare outing for their batters who failed to go big today. The bowlers though didn't gave up easily. Naveen-ul-Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi were brilliant but with such a low score, it was always difficult for them. With this, Delhi Bulls lose their first match.
A low scoring thriller in the end. Good effort from Delhi Bulls though who despite not having much runs took the game till the end. However, they needed another 10 runs to make things more interesting. Chasing a low total, Morrisville Samp Army lost two wickets but Faf du Plessis showed his experience to get things back on track. Faf though lost his wicket at the wrong time as that suddenly started a small downfall. However, Najibullah Zadran kept his nerves and took his team over the line.

Dwayne Bravo to Jason Holder ,OUT! LBW! Dwayne Bravo is doing a miracle here. A juicy full toss on middle, slower one. Holder looks to flick but misses and gets hit plumb on the pads. Poor delivery but poor from Holder as well.

Dwayne Bravo to Karim Janat ,OUT! GONE! More twists in the game. This is short and on middle and leg. Janat looks to pull but gloves it back to Quinton de Kock who takes it. 14 runs needed now.
