T Natarajan had dismissed Shubham Dubey on the very first ball of the last over. The last start was good for Delhi, but the end was equally useless. A four and a six came on the third and fourth balls respectively. On the last ball, Akshar Patel dropped the catch of Ferreira, which hit Akshar’s hand and went for a six.
