Deccan Gladiators had quite an uncharacteristic game by their standards, they weren't prolific with the bat to begin with and showed no control at all with the ball in the initial overs. Ibrar Ahmed bowled a lovely over in the Floating Powerplay but by then, the game had already gone. They picked up a couple of more wickets but that didn't matter much and were handsomely beaten.
UP Nawabs had a back-and-forth first half as they started nicely with the ball then came the carnage in the middle overs but finished splendidly with Adil Rashid working some of his magic. Then with the bat, the opening pair of Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Avishka Fernando was just in an imperious mood. They put on 89 runs in just 6 overs before both of them got out and it was Gurbaz who was the star with a 52 off just 21 balls. With the back of the chase broken, the middle order came in and got the job done quite comfortably.
How the mighty have fallen! A first defeat for Deccan Gladiators after four wins on the trot and UP Nawabs have finally risen up to the challenge and this win might just galvanize their season. Top showing from the Nawabs yet again as they have now made it two wins from four as opposed to zero wins from two to begin the season.

Odean Smith walks in to bat now.
OUT! LBW! Lovely deception from Richard Gleeson and he's got something to celebrate, finally! Slower delivery, bowling it full on middle and leg and gets this one to dip late. Dawid Malan is caught on the crease and plays all over the ball, getting pinged on the pads and the finger goes up as well.
