Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan got Delhi Capitals off to a good start. Shaw smashed Shakib Al Hasan for a six and a four as he expressed his intentions straight away. Dhawan also smashed Sunil Narine for consecutive sixes and took DC off to a flier. However, Varun Chakaravarthy dismissed Shaw with his first ball of the spell.

Marcus Stoinis came out to bat at number 3. He and Dhawan tried to steady the things but they got over-cautious in doing so and runs got dried up. Shivam Mavi came to bowl the 12^th over of the innings and clean bowled Stoinis on the third ball of the over.
