The top order of the Delhi Capitals was a complete failure. They lost their first 3 wickets at 27 runs. Sameer Rizvi at number 4 did a fine job by scoring 39 off 35 balls at a strike rate of 111.43. However, the rest of their batting unit failed to complete the chase.

Mitchell Santner and Jasprit Bumrah were the primary bowlers for the team. They both scalped 3 wickets each at an economy of 2.75 and 3.60, respectively. Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Will Jacks, and Karn Sharma scalped a single wicket each to score a dominant win.
