TIME-OUT.
Over 6 || Score 45/0 (R Sharma 31; M Guptill 14)
If the previous over was all about Zaheer Khan, and his mastery. Then this over's about rival skipper Rohit Sharma's classic timing, and shot selection.

Two more singles, and Shahbaz Nadeem leaked 12 runs from his second over.
Over 5 || Score 33/0 (R Sharma 23; M Guptill 10)
Zaheer Khan, at 37, still carries enough firepower to best of the batsman. And unluckily, Martin Guptill got one today.
A dot ball to start the over, the a snorter of a delivery — a well directed bouncer and the Kiwi was hit at the side of his helmet, and for some time he looked lost.
Two singles off the last over, and two runs from the over.
Over 4 || Score 31/0 (R Sharma 22; M Guptill 9)
Chris Morris continued with his second over. A single to Rohit Sharma, thanks to a flick shot through mid-wicket. Then, a beautifully timed six over cover boundary from Martin Guptill. As good as any other six.
A single, then two dots. Good response from Morris. But, Sharma creamed the last ball of the over for a six over long-on. Wide and outside off, but still enough power to launch it over long-on. 14 runs from the over.
Over 3 || Score 17/0 (R Sharma 15; M Guptill 2)
Bowling change, and the Delhi skipper brought himself on. A tidy over to start.

Over 1 || Score 11/0 (R Sharma 11; M Guptill 0)

PREVIEW: Back in the top half of the league table after a convincing win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Daredevils would look to build on the winning momentum when they take on defending champions Mumbai Indians in their IPL match at Visakhapatnam today.
The Daredevils were impressive in the first half of the league but inconsistency struck them in the later part as they lost back-to-back matches. Their comfortable win over Sunrisers must have brought back the confidence in the Zaheer Khan-led side.
A win at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium will help the Delhi team put a foot into the play-offs. With 12 points, from 10 matches, the Daredevils are currently on third spot behind Sunrisers (14) and Gujarat Lions (14).
For Mumbai, on the other hand, it will be a do-or-die match as a loss today will leave them on the verge of being knocked out of the race for play-offs. They now have 12 points from 12 games and are at fifth in the league table; and will have just one match left in the league.
