Rovman Powell, the Delhi Bulls skipper wins the Player of the Match award for his brilliant knock.
For the Delhi Bulls, Shahid Bhutta was the pick of the bowlers with a three-fer while Fazalhaq Farooqi and Muhammad Rohid Khan did a decent job. The Bulls held their catches and bowled according to their plans to get their first win of the season. Earlier today, the Bulls posted 126 for 5 on the back of a brilliant fifty from Rovman Powell while Vince and Tim David made decent runs. Neesham was the pick of the Bolts' bowlers. The Bulls move to fifth position with their first win and will look to build on from here.
An excellent effort from the Delhi Bulls helps them trounce the Ajman Bolts by 35 runs and get their first win of the season. Chasing 127 for the win, the Bolts never looked in the chase as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and their scoring rate was well behind the required margin. Shehan Jayasuriya and Gulbadin Naib made handy 20s but the rest of the batting failed to fire. The Bolts have slumped to their third loss of the season and the road ahead looks a difficult one for them.
