The very first ball of the 18th over, Kuldeep got the first chance to dismiss Marcus Stoinis. Stoinis came in and started raining boundaries. But KUldeep got a clean chance to dismiss the Aussie hulk. Stoinis awkwardly hit it high and Mohit Sharma ran to catch the ball. The ball, when it reached his hands bounced down, and Sharma turned away his eyes and fell down, losing balance. On the following ball, Kuldeep bagged Shreyas Iyer, and Mohit Sharma at the deep fine leg. The ball came in flat but quickly, right over his pads, and Shreyas tried to get rid rof it. And the ball flew smoothly to Mohit Sharma.

He started smacking him for the very first ball. He even continued doing so though, after losing Marco Jansen and Azmatullah Omarzai in the single over off Kuldeep Yadav. However the bloke ended without scoring his well-deserved half-century.

The innings had strong acceleration phases, especially from Marcus Stoinis, who hammered an unbeaten 44 off just 16 balls (SR: 275) to finish the innings with momentum. Josh Inglis provided a rapid start, smashing 32 off 12 deliveries (SR: 266.66). For the bowling side, Mustafizur Rahman was the pick of the bowlers with 3/33, removing key middle-order threats. Youngster Vipraj Nigam impressed again, taking 2/38 including the wicket of Inglis. Kuldeep Yadav also struck twice but proved expensive. Despite some high economy rates, Delhi Capitals managed to pick up regular wickets, preventing Punjab from crossing the 210-mark.
