Continuing his good record with the toss in the tournament, Kane Williamson opted to bowl first. Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck with the early ball to remove Mandeep Singh, DC's makeshift opener in the absence of Prithvi Shaw. However, David Warner played a gem of an innings against his former innings to push DC's first innings total to 207-3.

In reply, SRH lost their in-form opener, Abhishek Sharma, early and stuttered over the course of the run chase. Crucial knocks by Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran in the middle order took the side closer to the total. Despite the Caribbean ace's second consecutive fifty, the side fell short of the target.
