Their last encounter was the closest finish this Indian Premier League (IPL). Gujarat Lions (GL) roared to a one-run win over Delhi Daredevils (DD). Chris Morris played a blinder for Delhi and almost won them the game from a seemingly impossible position. Both the sides have played well in this tournament. While the Suresh Raina-led Gujarat side are the table toppers, the Zaheer Khan-led Delhi side have won four and lost two this season.
DD have won the toss and elected to bowl. In a very bold decision, they have decided to leave out their previous game’s Man-of-the-Match Carlos Brathwaite. JP Duminy comes in and also Shahbaz Nadeem comes in place of the out of form Shreyas Iyer. Gujarat’s batting, which has been the best in the tournament, had an off day on Sunday but it received a fresh dose of boost with the inclusion of Aaron Finch. However, a big blow comes along with it. Dwayne Bravo is out due to a mis-timed injury.
In all possibility, this game is set to be another cracker of a contest. Stay tuned to this space for the best tweets from the cyberspace.
Young Rishabh Pant is the Man of the Match for his fluent half century tonight. Congratulations and very well played! #GLvDD

That McCullum savewill find no place on the scoreboard or stats. Ridiculous. Fielders keep pushing the limits yet so few fielding measures

Delhi's team looks very calm, stable, balanced and performing on the field unlike its government.

Good to see Zaheer, Dravid all smiles for DD. Hoping the pair can come up to help the National team ahead. Brilliant students of the game.

Raina: I dedicate my IPL loses to Dhoni. He has always been my inspiration. As he would say, we were 20-30 runs short.

Waiting for someone to say that Rishabh Pant will be next Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli. Cmon Indians, don’t disappoint me #IPL #GLvDD — Cricket Bakchod (@AllTimeBakchod) May 3, 2016

Are the Gujarat Lions really good or have they just been lucky to be batting second so many times? — Devanshu (@dbackwardpoint) May 3, 2016
@CricCrazyNIKS Can’t see anybody. Raina’s struggle has made it worse. Their openers have been consistent, something they haven’t been
