Jake Fraser-McGurk made an impact by setting an IPL record with the fastest fifty for his franchise in just 15 balls, scoring 65 runs off 18 deliveries. Abishek Porel also maintained the momentum with 42 runs, but Delhi's innings slowed down after Porel's departure.

Tristan Stubbs and Rishabh Pant struggled to maintain the required run rate, with Pant's lack of form hindering Delhi's chase and resulting in defeat. This setback halted Delhi's progress after two consecutive wins.
