David Warner and Prithvi Shaw stitched together a brilliant 93-run opening partnership in DC vs CSK clash

Rishabh Pant won the toss for Delhi and elected to bat first. Openers David Warner and Prithvi Shaw got their team off to a fantastic start, scoring runs at a brisk pace.

Delhi scored just 24 runs in the first four overs. However, Warner and Shaw made amends in the remaining two overs of the powerplay, mustering 38 runs.

Warner notched up a fine half-century, equalling Chris Gayle's record for most fifty-plus scores in T20 cricket. The Australian batter has now crossed the 50-run mark 110 times in the format.

He was dismissed in the 10th over after playing a reverse-lap to Mustafizur Rahman. While it seemed as if he had got decent connection, Matheesha Pathirana surprised everyone by claiming an awe-inspiring one-handed diving catch.
