In this game, DD got a flying start as Prithvi Shaw struck a blistering 25-ball 47 to set the tone for DD. It was then Pant long with Shreyas Iyer who provided impetus to the innings. The Delhi wicket-keeper strode out at 74/2 and got off the mark with a six off his fourth delivery. And that was just the start of a splendid inning.

He hit 7 fours and 5 sixes and made 69 in just 29 balls as his efforts played a vital role in DD reaching 196/6 in 17.1 overs before rain interrupted play. It was once again a superb inning from Pant and he also went onto grab the Orange Cap.
