The Delhi Capitals bundled out the Sunrisers for just 116 while defending their total of 155/7. The chief destroyers for Delhi with the ball were Kagiso Rabada (4/22), Keemo Paul (3/17) and Chris Morris (3/22) who shared ten wickets between them. Thus, they registered the first instance of all ten wickets bagged by the foreigners in an IPL inning. In fact, this was also only the 2nd instance of all ten wickets in an IPL inning going to the pacers. The first one was by KKR in the 2017 IPL game when they bowled out RCB to 49; the lowest total in this history of the IPL.
